student union prioritises sport teams and tends to ignore creative clubs

Best moments is meeting the students and the diversity is amazing here so you get to explore a range of cultures and ethnicities. There is a range of places to study on campus. My worst aspect is the lack of guidance in group project, you are expected to do everything yourself without much support.
The Location of the uni is great since its in London but not in central which means its cheaper for transport and there are lots of Green Spaces. Its close to Uxbridge shopping centre so anything you need you can always find. Some of the facilities like the PDC (the uni's career service) are amazing, the best in the country! But other services are often a hit-or-miss depends on your luck on that day.
Nice community, a lot of nice facilities. Food quality could be improved. Student Union focus and funding is prioritised for sports clubs and societies, to the detriment of other societies.
Best is campus and friendly staff on my course. Worse is lack of mental wellbeing support.
The best part is it has a good campus and lovely people around, we can have fun at different events. The worst aspect can be the teachers don't help sometimes, they don't explain things that clearly as it used to be in my country.
Best is the social life however there is no night life in Uxbridge and instead you have to go far away for that. The worst part is online delivery of lectures and the lack of washing machines that actually work. That needs to be desperately improved.

There should be more student events, things like events planned themed nights.
Student life could be improved
Nice international environment
It's the best place to study due to its amazing environment for international students like us and also the staffs and the professor's are very friendly. They have a great and peaceful atmosphere in the library which makes it more enjoyable for getting our works done. When we are tired of studying and want to relax our mind the university has the best food corners with reasonable price. The university also provides us with lots of extracurricular activities and sports like fencing, badminton, tennis etc. There are many societies you can join and get test of different types of people and culture. My best experience from the university till now is my friends. Being a person it's very necessary to have friends and thanks to Brunel that I got to make so many amazing friends and met so many people. Another best experience I would like to mention I have in the uni is how they provide halal food for the Muslim students and allow them to pray jumma on Fridays. Many unis don't take this into their consideration but it's an amazing and beautiful plan that Brunel university is trying its best to help the Muslim students in every aspect.
Very good
This disability support team is very good. The facilities are great and there is lots on offer. However, sometimes there is a major lack of organisation. Marking takes forever to be returned (usually longer than the 4 weeks they say the maximum should be) and is usually lacklustre, amounting to either a few words of comments like "good work" written in a non-descript place which is unhelpful.

The best part of this university is that it had good student support and any issue that you had it would be solved very quickly. Also the lectures were professional in their field which meant the knowledge you were learning was practical in the field of the study. The facilities for science students were great such as the labs. The professional job hunt services were amazing as the team can help you with your CV, cover letter or nay questions regarding a job role. Alongside they sent job roles every week. It can improve in their facilities such as the library as it was quite old but it is large. Also the structure of coursework and exam should be improved such as dissertation tittle were given in October and the final deadline was in January.
The learning materials offered before and after lectures were useful. The lecturers provide one to one support too. What needs to be improve: course structure timetable and deadline, hot having the exams all in summer.
