Worst: lectures are too long, they should be no longer than 1 hour each, a 10 min break doesn't solve the problem. Best: some sessions are interactive and fun.

UOB is a very good uni. I find the onsite catering very expensive and if you want to bring in your own food, there's no where to heat it up. Bham had great nightlife. I can't really comment on the societies and clubs as I dont have time to attend them due to the nature of my course.
