Best: social life, sports, societies Worst: support from lecturers, lecturers not providing enough information about assignments
The best aspect is its campus, having everything needed in one place makes it significantly convenient and offers accommodation which is difficult for international students to obtain. The worst aspect is its location. While being on calm quiet outskirts which many could prefer, it takes effort to reach other parts of London such as central.
facilities are good. library is quiet and CS students have their own study space. sadly lectures don't upload their lecture slides on time meaning time for studying is extended.
Even though uni can be tough, having good and helpful people around you always helps! I would say one of the worst parts of my experience would definitely be the whole exam preparation as it is exhausting. However when you get good results after putting in the effort is always rewarding. The people I’ve met while at uni is the best aspect of my experience so far
The buildings are all near to each other. The location is perfect, because it is surrounded by nature.
Best aspect I would say is how beautiful the campus is and its community. Campus is really active and there is always something going on. I love it! Downside, I would say is that as for the facilities, I would like having a swimming pool at Brunel.
More accessible facilities, most services are closed by 5 when students have lectures all day. Study buildings are freezing with no heating or open toilets. And there’s no longer any place on campus that you can purchase food/drinks from 24hr.
The best aspects of my uni experience is the travelling is short, the facilities are really good. What could be improved is their evision website
There are a few professors and lecturers that always give good, informative lectures and will help you if you need. However, there are also a few staff members who are not as helpful. Lab sheets are often outdated and often wrong. Information is often left out so the lecturer can tell you how to do it - not complicated theory, but simply how to use the software (exporting, compiling, etc). The facilities are large and clean, however they often feel empty as there is not enough equipment for a full cohort. The engineering labs are freezing and the windows couldn't stop the sound of a bee whispering 2 miles away. They can't upgrade these buildings due to a grade II listed status. The good: the food court has affordable, good quality, and halal/vegan food. The location makes day trips into central London viable. Generally student life is pretty good. The campus is quite nice. You will probably have a good time at the local pubs with your coursemates. The student union will fight for you but they really can't get you much as the uni will only hand out £125 vouchers for their food court if asked for a rent rebate.
The facilities are good
I love the vibe of campus, its easy to get around and there are so many clubs and activities to partake in. It could be improved with the addition of more student common area, since campus can sometimes be a little lonely.
This is a very inclusive and well rounded institution that I feel drawn towards. I feel motivated and have a sense of purpose and belonging at this institution.
- very international environment - great student support - easy access to airport - welcoming community
Welcoming, inclusive, down to earth and supportive overall.
The best aspects of a university experience at Brunel might include: Academic Reputation: Brunel is known for its strong academic programs and research contributions in various fields. Campus Facilities: The university offer modern and well-equipped facilities, including libraries, labs, and recreational spaces. Diverse Community: Brunel have a diverse student body, fostering a rich cultural and social environment. Industry Connections: Brunel have strong ties with industries, providing students with opportunities for internships and networking. On the flip side, potential challenges or areas for improvement might involve: Infrastructure: Some students might feel that certain facilities need upgrades or expansion to accommodate the growing student population. Communication: Brunel can sometimes improve communication between faculty and students, ensuring that information is easily accessible and well-distributed.
The best aspects have been the social events as the structure of brunel itself incentivises people to hang out more specially people from different backgrounds. Another positive aspect is the technology room as it has helped me to focus on my studies. A negative aspect is most building not having AC, some of the bathroom looking dirty with toilets not flushing properly.
All good
Good places to study, like the café and library, lots of ways to make friends from studied course to societies. Most of the lecturers are competent and know what they're talking about, although one or two seem to confuse the class at times. Some facilities could be improves, though for the most part it does what it sets out to do.
People are friendly, good facilities however the bathrooms are not very clean


25-34 years
The sense of community and welcoming attitude of the faculty makes it a great place to study. The academic discipline is provided with utmost diligence and knowledge is disseminated from a higher perspective. I feel lucky to be studying at Brunel university.
Highly qualified teachers with practical as well as professional experience.
It has great access to all parts of London especially central London. Buses and trains are available from a walking distance
Sense of community and great amenities. It has great value for money.
