Hi everyone, my name is CJ Egerton, I'm currently at the University of Bath
going into my final year studying education with psychology, and over the
next couple days I'm going to be giving you a tour of campus and also in town
so let's go, hope you enjoy it.
The reason I've always loved Bath uni so much just
because there's so much green everywhere obviously you have to have buildings at
universities, but the green and the trees and sky, it's absolutely amazing which is
just like the lake which I'll show you soon. So one thing I wish I got told as a
fresher is that you've got west, east, north and south, and the library is the
centre of that, so if you're looking for anything just go north, east, west or south
from there. So we are on the parade now, now the parade is basically the centre
of where everything is located. Here we have the library which is to the left,
and here we had Fountain Cafe and the Claverton Rooms. The Claverton Rooms as mainly
for postgrads and also the staff here, but it's still amazing if you want to
grab a cup of coffee. So one amazing thing we do at uni is one
of these Leave No Trace cards, so, all of the places listed behind you can go to
and you can use containers that you have from home and also reusable cups
and by using that you get all the stamps just like at a normal place and then by
the end you get two pound off anywhere at the University absolutely amazing grab
yourself one of these, they're located everywhere. I've got mine from Costa.
Freshers fancying a pint, an orange juice, or the best burger
you're gonna get on campus, head to the Parade Bar
it's basically located on the parade by the lake, looking over it which is lovely.
Down to the lake as I mentioned before we've got something called the Fountain
Cafe, and it's understandable why it's just behind those windows there.
Heading down to the lake now to show you that it's absolutely beautiful especially in
the summer everyone comes down here to relax or revise or just to have a
drink with your friends. Little amphitheatre, so the grass can
kind of have little seats, and also at nighttime it's lit up which is
absolutely amazing and a secret spot, which not many people know about, is the
library the fifth floor at the top which is just up there it basically looks over
the whole of the University, absolutely amazing. In front of me we have
The Edge. The Edge is the hub for all art, research
adventure, theatre, performing arts. This place is absolutely gorgeous you can
come here literally for a coffee, just sit with your friends, and occasionally
to have a lecture or to watch a performance. Behind the bus stop here we
have Lime Tree which is a brilliant place to go for a drink, a non alcoholic or
alcoholic, and also for food. You get loads of people coming here after they've done
sport and after they've had lectures. Also cute little area outside when it's sunny as
it is now. Here you can see they're setting up for freshers week but also
throughout the year they have really really great events, so there was a
blow-up obstacle course and we had a day where loads of pets came in. So we got to
feed and stroke loads of goats, a little Shetland pony, some dogs and some really
really adorable little piggies. So absolutely great. It's in front of the
Chancellors' Building and just by Lime Tree, which is just off the bus stop behind me.
So actually an integral part of uni that I think it's really important is
actually the bus stop. The bus stop helps you get to and from town, and also for
those people who don't live on campus it obviously helps us get here. It comes
every 5-10 minutes which is amazing when I'm running late for my lectures! So now
as you follow me here we are entering the University of Bath STV, the sports
training village, can't wait to show you guys what's inside.
I think the STV is great is because you don't have to be a British athlete you
can literally just walk over to people, want to try some stuff out and
there's no judgement, absolutely brilliant.
And now we're gonna enter into the SU and
I'm gonna show you around. We have the Plug and the Tub which are upstairs
which have a Starbucks, a social space, and a couple offices and it's basically where all the
cub nights are. We also have a Costa and the Pit Stop which little cafes. This is
where everyone stays around studying and also usually waits before exams. One of my
favorite places ever is Fresh Express which basically is located here
and it's a little shop to get everything from. I'm in the Fresh Express now and they
don't just do meal deals and food.They also do absolutely loads of stationery
if you can't get into town and grab some. Fabulous little shop also if you can't
see some merchandise from Bath you can come and grab it here as well. A really
really big thing about the Uni which I absolutely love is it's Student Services
which is just behind me. It's absolutely amazing you can talk about your health,
you can talk about money, personal life, studying, honestly it's absolutely
brilliant anyone can go, it's all confidential, big thumbs up from me. A
place I really wanted to mention was the Chaplaincy Centre. This is a little
hidden gem during freshers week because they stay here up until about 3:00 a.m.
and serve tea and toast. Anyone is welcome whether your are religious or not, and
it's absolute amazing, even if you don't want tea or toast and just want a chat, even when
freshers week is over. It's just off the parade. So now I've shown you around campus,
and around the town, I hope you enjoyed it, maybe see you freshers week. Bye!
