This year there was a huge issue with selecting modules which meant for a few weeks we had no timetable or access to resources before starting university.
Improve social aspect for commuters, when I lived on campus it was great, however commuting is very different.
Best; The people and staff are friendly and welcoming Improvement; More space for certain classes
The facilities and the location is great, though the student union and the support feels a bit lacking
Overall good experience - minor things like timetabling and support in uni can be bettter
I would say the amount of placements available. I've heard all of older students say theres a lack.
Good school however i feel to get in touch with certain department it's hard. All email are directed to student hub instead of a professor or professional individual. I wish the school had done more in terms of making sure the student's well being comes first. For example i emailed the school weeks ago in regards to my tuition and how i would like to get an extension as i am an international student, unfortunately no help or guidance is provided and deadline remains the same. Your only option is to drop out and start school when you can fund it.
As an international student, settling in Brunel University of London feels like “home away from home”. The community, student union and most especially the academic standards. My first week of lectures were beyond my expectations, my professors made the lectures like an interactive session where everyone’s ideas and opinions were valid and heard. The standards of the Library is another aspect of Brunel that tops the academic charts. I think Brunel University needs to work on the student union for postgraduate students because I find it difficult to attend activities when there are no students like myself there. Otherwise, everything is perfect at Brunel!

First gen student
+ There are opportunities like BrunelPlus, Jobshop and extra funds provided by the university + There are multiple sources of support for mental wellbeing, CVS etc. * Good and clean dorms with personal space - BUT I wish there were more funds and support provided for off-campus students with long commute - Not all lectures are recorded on Brightspace (but all ppts are uploaded which is good) - Sometimes, students are found sitting on the steps during lectures Nothing else comes to mind right now.
Best: The campus is really nice and there's lots of societies. My course is good. Able to go to central easily. I was able to go on a placement abroad because of a uni program which was life changing for good. Worst: I emphasise the bad parts because I'm a firm believer you should know what you're really getting into before committing. Here, accommodation is fine unless you have some issue, then it's actual hell. From dealing with a complaint meeting where a person will give you no empathy and a soulless stare, to having to navigate their outdated systems of organisation which cause outdated information like incorrect invoices to be sent to students, it was a lot of added stress on me. The way it was handled did make me feel like I was insane for trying to get any compensation for a problem that has prevented me from moving properly in for over a month, something that is very reasonable. If anything, having to deal with them built character, which serves me well in the end. First year in halls was totally fine though. Other than the hellish accommodation, there are other good parts. Nowhere is perfect. But at least Brunel has free language classes.
I love the location and I enjoy all the activities hosted weekly on campus.
I love the support we receive from the facilities such as the student union
Overall great!
I think the lecturers and personal tutors make the environment very welcoming and comfortable to discuss difficulties whether it be related to course work or even everyday life. I think the university offers a variety of extracurriculars for all students to engage in and offers a variety of spaces to work with and meet others.
The location and resources are great. Lecturers are amazing. Dorms are good. Please fix the WiFi issue.
It is a big campus with all the facilities you need on site. It has a variety of restaurants and places to spend your time and a very big library with all sorts of books. It could be improved with newer, more modern classrooms.
The whole university is so convenient and helpful, the student support team take everything seriously so its very good for people with mental health, the campus is very pretty and well looked after, the lecturers and staff that work here are amazing and helpful, i would definitely recommend the university to anyone wanting to come. The library is one of the best places to study as there are different zones in which you can talk or stay silent, its good for people who want to relax and wind down after lectures. The only negative is how busy everything is, overall its not the universities fault and its definitely the best university in my opinion
The worst ones could probably be the accommodations; the heating isn’t always working and it’s a good place to study and the lecturers are really good and helpful but i think They can work on being more engaging in lectures, like being a balloon for static electricity and other practical things. Stuff to make it more engaging for us.
4.2
Lively, kind and helpful community due to the whole campus being in the same area.
Pretty good all round
Well kept and always sorts any problems that might occur
