Merchant Venturers' technical school

I think that the first paragraph should include a reference to the Merchant Venturers’ Technical College (founded as a school 1595 and which became the university Engineering faculty^[1]. Only an English university would fail to mention such a legacy! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.142.132.137 (talk) 20:23, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Student numbers...

The figures in the article are plain wrong...

The numbers cited are those that university submits to HE Stats Agency (HESA). They will include those students who are specifically noted as not being included on the university's page which you link to because they are "dormant" (mostly taking a year out), research students who are writing up or students on the university's continuing education programmes.

League tables

I think it's rather disingenuous that the Guardian league table placing has been removed from the table in this article - probably to disguise the fact that we dropped to 32nd in their estimation this year. The claim that Bristol in in the top ten according to most published league tables is simply no longer true (unless you're counting the placings from previous years as well - again, rather disingenuous if so!).

This is supposed to be a factual encyclopedia article. It is not supposed to be an advertisement or a place to publish massaged figures in order to make a few members of the student body feel better about studying here...137.222.235.7 (talk) 08:18, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
