Multi-cultural with a lovely campus

Best The facilities here are some of the best plus the support you get from the university especially from my department is one of the best experience I have seen from any institution I have been to which has allowed me to enjoy my time at Brunel. Worst The student life here can have some improvements such as the social aspects due to the limited amount of stuff and exciting events to attend to within the university as well as the aspect of the student union seeming to be a figure head instead of a representation of students especially during the covid pandemic where issues such as rent and support from the university was poor during this period.
Campus is nice and lots of things to do and people for support.
Great quality of education and teaching. Good environment and support in academics.

The policy on lost ID cards is appalling, you lose it even once and you have to pay £12, I have 3 months of my entire course left, I have kept it safe for 4 years. Other universities have a one-off policy, if they lose it the first time then the first replacement is free and after there are charges, the fact that there is absolutely no way around this extortionate fee is disgusting. On many occasions, when a member of the student union/ student representative has brought forward their concerns about a certain course/ exam/ overall method of study, they are ignored or more likely given an excuse, an excuse that does not answer or solve a students problem. If they're so ready with excuses, they should've become a politician.
I feel that my university is pretty good and well underrated. I like the feel around the campus and I am very happy with the staff, teachers and students around me. I like the fact that my university follows good teaching procedures according to the course.

Brunel has lots of friendly people and great facilities for leisure.

Brunel is a really diverse university which makes it a nice place to learn more about other people and their cultures. Having an app or website that combined every or most things necessary for a student at Brunel. A single place where we could access our timetable, lectures and check for events.
It's a nice local uni for anyone looking to study in London. It also has a good reputation
Life on campus is great and the atmosphere is amazing, the facilities and accommodation could use a refresh as well as having more amenities for the price. overall a great university.
The university encourages you to put what you've learnt into practice and provides many opportunities to do so via volunteering and work both on and off campus. Also provides support when needed (eg with CV writing and looking for placements)

I like the atmosphere and learning environment, I feel like the lectures could be more better exam focused

Best part of university : people and support given by lecturers In my experience, some things were expensive. Like food and events

It's an interesting campus. Generally, the staff are good. The facilities are okay. The lectures all recorded even before covid they were. They do dual online and in-person delivery which works very well as recordings. On average it is okay. Just need some updates to the facilities. Very helpful to live on campus every year if you want. All halls are on campus. Not very close to London, with a 1.5 hour + journey into central London.
It is a university with great facilities who are always ready to help. The course that I have chosen is very difficult in other universities but in this university the way they teach makes it very easy because of that many students achieve very good marks

Best aspect is that university offers diversity and course is interesting and worse aspect is that my course doesn't offer good student life as there aren't many students in my class

Don’t actually feel very supported. I could not find many things at uni the first time and also did not know how things worked
