Brunel University is very much an institution where you are welcomed, regardless of where you are from. The facilities ranging from the laboratories to the on-site canteen are great, and the Student Union has a multitude of societies. On the whole, it is important to understand that any university is only as good as you make it, more so at Brunel as the facilities here are top notch, it is up to you to make the most out of it.
i feel brunel as home because of its enviromnent and facilities. i really loved the campus
Lovely camps. Great sport and workshop facilities.
Some of the lecturers teach as if you understand the conse as well as they do, so it can sometimes be a bit too fast paced
It’s a good uni location is alittle far but it fits accommodation and everything in it. Education wise and lecturers I’ve got small classes so everything Is nearly 1to1. Teachings is pretty good, some can be slow or unengaging but that’s everywhere. FOOD IS SO RXPENSIVE very limited choice in food, cost cutter is so bad ������������the food is so over priced and not even good. Only microwaveable meals is Indian nothing else. The union/ food hall only has tortilla, a pizza place and some chicken place. ALL OVER PRICED. Pls why am I buying chicken for 10£ ������������ Is it nandos ? Like please why. If you take the bus down to uxbridge centre town place everything is just as expensive, it’s not even central london… it’s the OUTSKIRTS the COUNTRY SIDE. Come on Ik bojo is the mp of uxbridge but shouldn’t that drive the prices down. I can get cheaper food at Oxford street. But other than that it’s all good. :)
As a student of the business school I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the opportunities to meet and network with people from all over he world in relations to business development and progression. The ability to communicate your person and opinions to others is an extremely valuable skill that I have developed as a result of the complementary atmosphere and environment that Brunel University provides. However, I would say as an international student, I do understand having different tuition fees specific to me, however I have experienced situations were, as a student of the school, I have questioned whether the extra expenses incurred, which can often be excessive at various points, has limited certain aspects of my experience socially and sometimes academically.
Brunel University is a great place to study for me due to several reasons: Strong academic programs: Brunel offers a wide range of high-quality academic programs in a variety of fields, including engineering, which is top notch. Research opportunities: The university is home to a number of research centers and institutes, offering students opportunities to engage in cutting-edge research and to work alongside experienced researchers.

London location: As a university located in London, Brunel students have access to the resources and opportunities of one of the world's most vibrant and diverse cities. Diverse student population: Brunel is known for its diverse student body, representing over 140 countries. This can provide a rich cultural experience for students. Some areas in which Brunel University could be improved include: Campus facilities: Some students may feel that certain campus facilities, such as the library or student housing, could be improved or updated.

Support from academics and career advisors is good
Brunel is situated in a student friendly location. It’s easy to access via the train station or by local buses. Additionally, it’s a single campus meaning everything you want is in one place which is convenient for students. Facilities are great, the library has PCs so I don’t have to carry my heavy laptop with me when commuting. Overall, it provides great basic fundamentals needed for a good education. The experience has been somewhat great so far.
University is overall good. In every aspect it’s Upto the mark and worth spending money as well. Accommodations are good. Work environment is good as well. Staff is really cooperative and understanding. Best part is university is in the heart of london with such a big campus which can be embraced everyday. Nature and botanical view is amazing and maintaining everything upto the mark is the first priority of university.
The are lots of resources for your studies and also has good security. Friendly staff and diversity. I believe the school should create more diverse social and academic events
There's great access to public transport and the lecturers are very friendly and helpful.
Great location if you like to travel in and out of London, as well as Heathrow airport a bus ride away. Good reputation overall when speaking to employers. Has good extra financial schemes for low-income students to support them during their studies. During the covid-19 pandemic, I felt that the uni could have offered more support to their students. I also think that rent is very high in recent years.
Societies are great. Location is a bit bleak.

I feel very included at Brunel and love how diverse the university is. They offer a great range of clubs and sports which are welcoming due to the active sessions they hold every week. However I think some of the buildings (exterior and interior) could be updated to be made more modern as the campus feels quite outdated. I do like that there are many facilities available on campus (such as the uni food hub service) but it would be better if it was closer to other shops or supermarkets.
I am satisfied with my learning, however I feel as though the tutors could be better at arranging meetings/sessions as I know who my tutor is but have never met with them.
The diversity in Uxbridge is very high, and there is a nice sense of community. Being on the out-skirts of London though, it sometimes feels unsafe and can be quite costly.
My room was clean on arrival and the heating and water work well. I feel as though the kitchen is quite outdated and the shower could be a lot bigger.
