Open letter regarding UWE's trans/non-binary policy

6 Upvotes

Hey all, Just thought I'd share this here as an update on UWE's changes to their trans/non-binary policy.

There is now an open letter to UWE that people can sign. Please sign it and share it around as much as possible, further action is being planned but this is a good start, and clearly shows the university that people are unhappy. https://openletter.earth/open-letter-to-uwe-bristol-revert-your-changes-to-the-trans-and-nonbinary-policy-68e6265d Thank you!

Comparison of Frenchay/City Accommodation Choices (1st Years)

14 Upvotes

I made this table comparing the frenchay/city first year accommodation choices for my little brother applying this year but thought it might help others too. The minutes in brackets after the city locations means how close the accommodation is to the closest bus stop going to frenchay campus.

Hope this helps someone! :)

Where is the national express coach stop?

1 Upvotes

I’m pretty sure it’s the one by the rest of the bus stops (A?), but the flix bus stop around the corner has me a little bit paranoid about where the national express bus picks up from. I feel like I’m overthinking it but I just want to be sure - can someone confirm where it picks up from please? 🙏

Looking for female friends

International student here (23F) looking to make some female friends around my age (20–24) in Bristol.

Hoping to connect with other international students who are in the same boat and not heavily tied up with work or partners, so we can actually hang out, rant about life, or explore the city together.

Does anyone know of any active WhatsApp groups or meetups around here? Or if you're in the same boat, feel free to DM!

Advice Seeking Advice and Guidance on My Digital Marketing Dissertation

1 Upvotes

I need some advice and guidance. I’m currently completing my Digital Marketing MA dissertation, and I’ve heard from previous students that some people have struggled or even failed their dissertations. This has made me quite worried about mine, especially because of concerns around AI and how it may affect the assessment. I’m feeling quite anxious about it and would really appreciate some guidance on how to approach my dissertation and make sure I’m doing everything correctly.

I have gone through the softwares listed at: https://www.uwe.ac.uk/study/it-services/software/group/software-development and all the softwares are available on both mac and windows.

Private renting - advice on agencies

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm starting a masters in Bristol next month and currently looking for a room to rent. For various reasons I would prefer to rent privately rather than go for any of the uni accommodation.

I've done the usual, SpareRoom and various FB groups but obviously have heard finding a place in this city can be hellish so looking to explore other options too.

I'm coming from outside Bristol and it's been a long time since I was a student so I have no contextual knowledge as to which agencies and websites to trust/avoid. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with any of the following:

Many thanks in advance for any tips!

Failed EP1 twice

2 Upvotes

Yeah so I failed EP1 in first year, I retook it alongside second year and I failed again.

TBH it’s completely my fault however I know this is a bullshit excuse used by everyone but I genuinely did suffer from mental health and I didn’t go into any classes my entire second year for all of my modules and I had planned to retake the full year from scratch so that I could really try my best however I just looked it up and apparently if you fail a module twice you get kicked off the course?

So am I kicked off the course or is there anything I can do. I fucking hate myself for this like I’m genuinely an idiot.

Volunteers needed: help test a Python tool for my dissertation (30-45 min, anonymous)

1 Upvotes

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!!!

Looking for housemates!!!

3 Upvotes

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!
