Brunel Uni, London

Freshers at Brunel was all about meeting new people, going to endless parties, getting to know flatmates while moving in and setting yourself up for a studious year. So many activities and games being organised by the union, it is impossible to not to find friends and fit in. Received so many generous gifts and won prizes with different people that became some of my closest friends throughout university. Really clean rooms, well kept and organised kitchens by housekeeping. Maintenance people are very reachable and always strive to solve your issues asap. Rent is very affordable in comparison to central prices! A massive library with a vast collection of books makes a perfect setting to study. One of the UKs most renowned sport facilities and a newly refurbished lecture centre, you are always surrounded by a clean and well kept environment. My course was especially difficult by nature but the faculty and union have always found ways to extend support and feedback all in the interest of the students success. A mathematics society meant you have platform to reach out to and network with other fellow students so you never feel alone! City lift is enriching, exhilarating and always upbeat. Whatever you may need: bars, restaurants, cafes or clubs are at your doorstep. Always something to do with your friends and somewhere to go to so it's never boring or repetitive.

There was a lot of introductory courses available to help settle in which allowed me to make friends before lectures began.

The accommodation process was easy and fast. However, moving in was long and hard with only 1 trolley available, lack of staff to help near the road of campus and my lights were dirty with dead flies and moths.

The library is amazing and it's easy to navigate and find a spot to be at but there isn't enough staff to control the loud students. The first floor should not be used as a social study area because there is so much space I wish I could work at if only it was silent. The library toilets are disgusting. The sports centre is big and I enjoy playing sports there, the toilets are always clean.

The course is simple and the lecturers engage you as much as possible. They challenge you to do your best with extra reading and quizzes. They also encourage you to speak to them for help with available office hours which helped me build a stronger relationship with my lecturer and make me more confident in my learning and exams. The feedback they give is also very helpful as well as the time it takes for the feedback is quick.

Quiet city life aside from the often clubbing events at the one club called ATIK.

You need to do a lot of reading and attend your lectures even if you think you know everything and cannot be bothered to attend. Speak to your tutor and lecturer, ask them questions, don't keep your self in the dark and rely on everyone but them for help because they are the ones teaching you! Also build friendships within your course, group studies are fun and will make you enjoy the course much more.

Its great. The universities provides student with many facilities including a 24 hour library creating a better environment to learn. The university also has good sports facilities and good accommodation facilities.

The freshers week was one of the most memorable time of my uni life as there were so many events everyday for 2-3 weeks to make you feel home and meet new people and have fun. Brunel university's got on campus accommodation which makes it easy to go for lectures in the morning or meet your course mates. Since you share flats with other students its a great opportunity to meet new people and make friends. The university also have 24hour security patrolling around. The university's got qn excellent library with an option of private room booking to study in groups at free of cost. The university has an excellent indoor as well as outdoor sport area for activities such as tennis, football, basketball and also indoor as well as outdoor running tracks. The University also has 3 starbucks and a Costa coffee serving 24hrs through the week. The University has an excellent gym. The University also has various services such student wellbeing, PDC which assist you on finding a placement or graduate job. The favourite thing about my course was that it was more practical where you learn various softwares and experiment them during your labs. The staff's are very friendly and ready to help at all time. The University located 10mins away from the local High Street where all the restaurants and shopping centres are located. It was just a 40min ride to Central London which pretty much settles for the city life craving.

Freshers week was amazing. Everyone was friendly and welcoming and was keen to make us feel comfortable in our new environment. The accommodation was great, got to meet lots of new people and the room was clean with lots of space. The facilities were great was, the library had lots of computers and books. Sports area was a great way of meeting new people and keeping fit. The courses and lectures provided a deeper understanding of the online lecture slides & material. The lecturers were very attentive and helped lots. It was busy but equally amazing. It helped me to be on the straight and narrow and disciplined me to work hard.

It was very inclusive, and there was a lot of information about what to expect both on campus and on the course Clean, tidy, easy access to public transport services and to facilites on campus The student Union were always on top of anything whether it be organising events or answering emails. The library was a 24-hour service and always had supportive staff Flexibility in terms of times and days. Staff were very open to discussions and structured the lessons well. The city of Uxbridge was very calm and quiet as most places closed early and the local people were all really friendly. Amazing restaurants too

It was really fun! Many opportunities to meet new people at the freshers fair. I study Global Challenges and my course leaders were particularly welcoming! True to the images and clean! Everything was functional and I actually miss living on campus. If and when things stopped working, maintenance were quick to fix the problem at hand! Library was very accessible, I spent a great deal of time there and often was myself in awe at how easily the library staff found literature I struggled to find. The student union are kind and very helpful from my experience. My course is a first generation course and our year has 7 students in total. Mary Richards - the director of my course, has always been extremely supportive, Olwenn Martin - the leader of my pathway has also helped me develop my writing skills and overall academic performance. As of my final year I have had the pleasure of being taught by Mandekh Hussein, another member of the Global Challenges Team who has given me the confidence and knowledge I need to succeed in post uni life. I am incredibly lucky to have stumbled across this course and the wonderful professors who work so hard to help us achieve the best! I am and always will be incredibly thankful. Uxbridge is on the very outskirts of London, so is not as busy or expensive which is great, but thanks to the underground trainline I have been able to venture into central London and completely fallen in love with it. I wish to work in London once I have graduated.

Was the best experience ever. From lectures, to socialising, to extra curriculum things. I managed to do so much more than I expected, including leaving with not only a degree but other sporting qualifications, life long friends and memories. The best years of my life! I graduate in July. And I miss it very much- it was my village for 3 years!

I loved my uni, the halls were great and my halls had its own accommodation office where I could go to if I had any issues. There is free WiFi as well as a secure system in place with electronic key cards and 24 hour security team who help for any matters - especially if some students are causing a nuisance! The lecturers are really great and can be understanding about student issues, like handing in my coursework the minute it is due! There is also a chance to provide feedback for courses, lecturers and modules for each course/year where you can have your say. The only thing is that in the some of the lectures during my third year they had postgraduate and masters students teaching the smaller sessions like seminars instead of an actual lecturer, but it didn't happen much in my first or second years. The university is in Uxbridge which is on the outskirts of London, so the heart of the city is only a tube away and a short drive. But the town is okay with some pubs and one nightclub, there is a Liquid where most students go which isn't too far so the taxi back won't be wallet-bustiing! the only thing is tehre isn't much to do during the week as it is mostly just locals doing their shopping in the big shopping centre - but there are retail and part-time jobs available which get filled by students, especiall during holidays. There are only a small handful of socities but some are run by some really dedicated and interesting people. And others have well-known and renowned people in their field. The problem is that if there isn't anything that immediately catches your eye you should try something out which can be scary. I knew someone who did the sky diving society and said it was brilliant! The university has a club, bar, and SU which are all good prices and SU serves food. The bar is alive during the day and the club at night and each provide a different atmosphere. One of the great things about Brunel is that they talk alot about postgraduate options as well as going into the world of owrk so whatev

It was very interesting - apart from regular activities we had a trip to Bletchy Park to learn a bit about Alan Turning and even though not many people showed up, it was really nice. Apart from that, we had a Freshers Fair to learn about different societies and such. We also had some activities to get to know our project group for the year. Overall it was a really nice experience. They are quite reasonably priced concidering it's still technically London. I lived in the halls with shared bathroom, there was 5 of us sharing a shower and a toilet, and it was kept really nicely. We had cleaners come in every week day and they did deep cleaning twice every week. The people were really nice, and the maintenance was very helpful anytime something broke. They really surprised me, I was expecting something rather bad, but everything was amazing. The library is my favourite place on campus, with computers everywhere and separate rooms to book for your group study. Classrooms, lecture halls and lab rooms all had computers to use. Our lecturers and module leaders were always really helpful, letting everyone ask questions at any point of the lecture and explaining it in detail. They always tried to get us to talk to them which made me more focused in class. They would always stay with the students after the lecture if they had any problems and help them. Everyone was available for 1:1 meetings as well which turned out to be really helpful. I think it's a typical student-y life. We have a club and a pub on campus which are always full on karaoke Tuesdays and weekends. There are lots of places to eat and go out as well.
