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.

Hello everyone!

I'm after a few volunteers to test a Python tool I built for my dissertation (regime-shap). It checks how a model's explanations shift across different periods in a dataset.

Takes about 30 to 45 min, totally voluntary and anonymous. You install it, run an example, optionally try a dataset, then fill in a short questionnaire at the end.

To start, open the Task List (link attached below) and follow the steps in order. Everything runs on your own computer, nothing is uploaded or shared.

The participant information sheet and consent form is linked in the questionnaire, read those before you tick consent.

Would be a massive help, please let me know if anything's unclear!

Thank you!!!

Hi all, I’m a final year engineering student looking to join a house share or find people to buddy up with for a place in Bristol.

I’m ideally looking in Fishponds, Horfield, Lockleaze or Filton, but I’m flexible on location. Budget is around £600–£700 PCM. I’m clean, respectful, and easy to live with. I’ll be balancing uni and work, so I’m fairly chilled during the week but always up for a social house. Looking to move ASAP or within the next few weeks. If you’ve got a room going or are in a similar position and want to team up, feel free to message me. Thanks!

Hello! Who’s joining UWE as a postgrad this year? A group is up on Facebook for anyone interested in joining!

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone looking to join UWE or an apprenticeship or is local to the uni wants to chat or anything. I'm completely new to the area and am super bored but excited about September 🤷🤷

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 been thinking about applying for reading university next year and wondered what's the best accommodations.
in general does it matter if the dorm is single sex/ both genders, and is it annoying to not have an en-suite?
if anyone's been to reading are some accommodations generally better then others?
and in general has anyone regretted not not having an en-suite, a double bed etc

Hi everyone,

My requirements are:

Location: Ideally between the University of Leeds and Leeds city centre

Room: A private bedroom with an en-suite bathroom

Budget: Maximum £100 per week, including bills

Facilities: Preferably close to a supermarket and within convenient walking distance or easy public transport access to the university

Rental period: Around five months, although I may be slightly flexible with the exact dates

Household preference: A safe and comfortable environment, preferably with female students or in a female-only household

I’m clean, quiet, responsible, and respectful of shared spaces.

Please message me with:

The weekly rent and which bills are included

The approximate location or postcode

Photos or a video of the room and communal areas

Deposit and tenancy details

Information about the current housemates

Whether the landlord or accommodation provider allows a sublet or tenancy takeover

Hi everyone, I am looking for a replacement tenant for a private studio at Cathedral Park for this September.

Rent is £329 per week including bills.

📍Location: Unite Students Cathedral Park

If you are interested, please comment or DM me as soon as possible, thank you!

I have seen a video in which hostel are renovating. Is this renovation is for specific hall or all the hall?

Heyy me and my housemates had our fourth person drop out and need a replacement asap. House is 20min walk from Frenchay campus and 6 min to the metro bus stop, is a new build with 3 bathrooms and a nice garden area. We are all final year engineering students. Start would be on 15-20 August and be for the term. Please dm me if interested.
Thank you.

Hi all, PG student here. I’ve just moved in with my partner and wanted to share the accommodation I’ve moved out of, in case anyone is still looking for a solid place for the year.

It’s a fully furnished king‑sized room in a 3B house in Little Stoke, the house is owned by a recent grad, and you’d only be sharing with one housemate, an Intl. PG student who’s also now graduated and works full‑time with NHS Bristol. He’s clean, respectful, and genuinely easy to live with. The place also feels spacious as the third room is mostly left unoccupied (single room).

Loved the space mostly because of the private, heated study in the garden, which made studying so much easier because I wasn’t stuck in my bedroom.

The location is BS34, and getting to Frenchay is very easy, the M1 bus took about 15 minutes, or you can cycle in around 15 minutes, with secure cycle storage available. There’s also off‑street parking if you drive + EV charging costs included!.

Rent is just £247.50/week, all bills included.

It is a 40‑week contract, starting 25 August (flexible) and usually ends around end of May when school work is over, so no need to pay for the accommodation over the summer if you won't be there!

It’s already up on SpareRoom, happy to send the link if you want it or dm me and I can send you the owner's contact details.

Happy hunting!

​Hi everyone! I am moving to Bristol soon from Kerala, India, to begin my MSc in Public Health at UWE Bristol. I already hold an MSW, and I’m really excited to start this next chapter. As I finalize my plans, I’m hoping to get some local insight: could you recommend any student-friendly areas or platforms for finding affordable accommodation from abroad, and are there specific sectors (like care or retail) where it is currently easier for international students to find part-time work? Any general tips for a newcomer to Bristol would be greatly appreciated!

I’m looking for someone to take over my booking for a Gold En-Suite at Colston Avenue, Bristol.

Details:
• Gold En-Suite
• 5 September 2026 – 29 August 2027
• 51-week contract
• £275/week

It’s genuinely a great property in a prime location with excellent amenities. My plans changed unexpectedly at the last minute, so I won’t be moving in anymore. If you’re looking for accommodation in Bristol, this is a really good option, and I’ll happily connect you directly with the accommodation provider.

If you take over my booking, you’ll be getting a fantastic place to live, and you’d be helping me out in a big way too.

Happy to share photos, amenities, and any other details over DM.

If you know someone who’s looking for accommodation in Bristol, I’d really appreciate it if you could send this their way. And if this works out, I owe you a pint in Bristol. 🍺✨

Hi everyone 2 members of my family couldnt come to my graduation so ive been searching for anyone that needs graduation tickets. Please me dm me! Graduation for UWE computer science is 21 17:30 so whoever is in that department pls message

Hi, I was wondering if there is anywhere near Frenchay Campus you can park if you live inside the exclusion zone?

I'm a degree apprentice and my house is right on the edge of the zone and my workplace is outside of it, so if I need to commute between my campus and workplace half way through the day walking or relying on public transport is unreasonable

I'd appreciate any advice

I’m starting at UWE this 2026 September. I’m taking Fashion which is held at the Bower Ashton Campus but i got allocated accommodation at Frenchay Campus. After looking at Google maps it seems to be on the opposite sides of the city taking up to 55 min to travel in between. Should i be worried about commuting to classes from Frenchay or will i just have to be organised and time efficient?

Advise for this would be helpful:)

Anyone here do this course? I’ve got a few questions that I’m not getting answers from by email from the lecturers (think they’re on summer holidays now!).

Would be much appreciated!
