The first day I arrived to Brunel University I was hesitant because it was something new but thanks to the people and staff members I really got used to living here and enjoying the life in university. It’s my first year so it’s just the beginning of many things but I can say that it’s been a great start. Also, Brunel University does have a lot to offer to student in campus and just in student life.
Brunel University has a good atmosphere, Fun events for socialisation and good learning support if needed from Lecturers.
Best Aspects: The university is in Greater London. This is great because I can travel to Central London quickly. Student life is also fantastic, alot of activities and events happening every week. The lecturers are great, and always very eager to help us. Worst Aspects: The university town is a little bit dull. Uxbridge is not the most vibrant area. You have to travel to Central London from the university, because the local town itself is quite dull. Some of the facilities do not work the best. Water taps in bathrooms do not work properly half of the time.
Brunel has great opportunities for developing your employability. One suggestion for improvement would be the accommodation.
The staff are lovely and helpful and it feels at home.
The diverse culture make it a great place to study because student around the world meet here and make it a great experience and there are some great facilities provide by the university which encourage student to grow more in this university. it can be improved by giving more great experiences like different activities in their courses will help them to take part in it and grow . there should be young teachers which interact with students a lot to have better understanding between teacher and student.
Easy to make make friends, a lot of places to study that cater to your requirements. They also cater to people of different faiths as there are prayer rooms for Muslims.
Best: being internationally reknown and having students from all over the world making it’s community culturally broad. Worst: frequent maintainance at toilet facilities preventing use
Brunel offers perhaps the best career support than I know of and has a good atmosphere and a good location. I’m really satisfied with my choice of this university.
Administration cold be done more efficiently
Canteen with discounted food for students.
Campus is well planned out with everything at walking distance. Facilities are always available, and clean. Always something to do on campus and everything is beginner friendly.
Good support systems, just wish there was more student social life
Brunel is a great place to study and live in because it has a mix of knowledgeable professors, diverse courses, and engaging learning environments and many cultural events which make international students feel like they’re in their home. Improvements could focus on enhancing resources, fostering more interactive learning, and providing additional support for students.
I think that for my course specific we don’t have enough practice in the lab and we are not being prepared really to go into a lab environment.
Best Experience is the campus is really nice, worst experience, had bad interactions with people from management
Good university
I love the society BLW (believers love world brunel), it’s such a great way to connect with other people and spread the love and word of God. I really enjoy how we relate and connect with other people on campus and hold events to spread the word ana love of God. We hosted a pancake day and a Valentine’s Day event this year which was great and gathered over one hundred people (literally)! I’m so glad that I’ve been able to find a place that I can call home after feeling lost in university for so long.
The campus, especially during the summer, is beautifully green thanks to the many trees and other foliage populating the area. It is near Uxbridge, making the town convenient to reach by bus or by foot. The Santander bikes available to rent are parked near the two main roads as well as being reliable and easy to use. The facilities are fantastic regarding the fitness needs of students, catering effectively to specialised/experienced people as well as casual gym goers trying to stay fit. My only gripe with this is that the gym is often at a high capacity, thus certain areas will be unavailable for use so planned workouts are prone to going awry. I would suggest an extension of the gym (or a second one if that is not possible) to keep up with the growing population of fitness minded students as such behaviour should be encouraged as opposed to the discouraging atmosphere of a full gym with nowhere to go. The campus feel is lively and welcoming, especially during periods when there are markets (aside from annoying paintball staff trying to talk to you). The vast options for food on campus make it possible to live fully on campus without having to leave. The main shop on campus, Costcutter, has a large disparity in price within, with some standard priced items such as Coca-Cola looking ridiculous next to a small bag of mixed nuts for £5, for students living on campus that for physical, mental or circumstantial reasons, require the use of Costcutter as their main shop, I hope they have a good sum of wealth in their bank account. However, to be financially efficient, students do not have to travel far. The nearby Lidl, whilst not always the quality choice, will often save students significant money. As for student life, there are plenty of general events as well as course-related events for students to attend or partake. The Union itself is serviceable but perhaps not for all students.

The uni is a bit disconnected from London if that’s why you’re thinking of studying here . The campus is nice. The uni is great when it comes to diversity
The course itself is quite disorganised. There is an element of stress around getting placements. The lecturers can’t always answer questions. Teaching is good
