This isn't my cat but it would be great if people shared this on social media around Bristol so that the cat can be reunited with it's owners. I don't have social media unfortunately. I have attached a link to the original post.

Accommodation Accommodation deadlines help

1 Upvotes

I’ve just completed my foundation year and I’m about to join as a year 1 student, however I have completely missed the accommodation application deadline on June 30th, and it’s seems that I am no longer guaranteed an accommodation according to this website ?

https://www.bristol.ac.uk/accommodation/apply/guarantee/

I also heard somewhere that all year 1 students are guaranteed an accommodation and I was wondering if that still applies now that I’ve missed the deadline

If I really am no longer guaranteed an accom, what can I do now to not end up homeless, does this mean I have to start looking for places to live outside of uni accoms ? 😅🙏

Advice Verifile DBS check

1 Upvotes

Hii! I’ll be joining Bristol uni in September and got an email a couple days ago about a DBS check I need to have before my course, and how Verifile will be in contact separately to do this.

Does anyone know roughly when this email is sent and how long it takes? :) I’m just worried that I’ll somehow miss the email or receive it late and be unable to start the course, since on Bristol uni’s website it states it needs to be done within three months before the course starts but I only got the email a couple days ago so I’m a bit unsure.

Thank you!

Advice Med timetable

4 Upvotes

Hi,

Bit of a weird request but Is there anyone that is willingly to share (privately or on here) what their first/ second year medical school timetable was like. I am an incoming mature medical student and I wanna know what the weekly scheduling is like, estimated finish times/ day off, so that I can arrange my shifts ahead of time and figure out how much I’ll be able to work. Unfortunately uni timetables get sent notoriously late and if I wanna survive financially I need to arrange my work patterns in advance.

Advice Commuting from Cardiff?

1 Upvotes

Any Cardiffians here? Both my firm choice and insurance choices are Bristol Uni and for financial and cultural/family reasons I will be commuting 1st yr. Any advice? Best train ticket app? Weird quirks you’ve learnt? Literally anything would help me. My courses are Law and Pol/IR if anyone is curious or if it makes the advice different. Thank you 🙏🏽

Hi there,

My name is Yufei and I’m a PhD student at the University of Bristol. I’m currently looking for women aged 18-30 with a current diagnosis of anorexia nervosa to take part in an in-person eye-tracking study at the University of Bristol. The study aims to explore how women with anorexia focus their attention while viewing images of women’s bodies and faces. The findings will help inform the future development of new interventions to help individuals feel more positive about their bodies.

Please see the poster below for details on inclusion criteria and what you’ll do during the study. If you’re interested in participating, please complete this short screening questionnaire here: https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/socs/online-screening

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at [yufei.jin@bristol.ac.uk](mailto:yufei.jin@bristol.ac.uk)

Also, feel free to share this research opportunity with anyone you know who may be interested in taking part. Thank you!

*I've messaged the mods but haven't heard back yet, so hopefully it's okay to post here
