The overall ranking is decided by students from this institution rating them in a 2026 Whatuni review. This forms the basis of the Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCAs for short).
I have hated it. The people here haven't been very welcoming, I've been very lonely and the workload is ridiculous. A lot of the people here are posh, rich or international students which is fine of course, however I don't feel I fit in. A lot of people are stuck up. At freshers' everyone seemed to already be in friendship groups from college or sixth form. No one mingled.
My flatmates have treated me very disrespectfully and I have to live with them for another year. Please, before coming to this university, consider whether you'll be able to fit in with middle class rich people and if you want to wlk 25 minutes to lectures in the rain a lot.

I would highly recommend the University of Birmingham, as it has a really high academic reputation, the lectures and classes are stimulating and hold by engaging lecturers.
I've been really happy here, and I am pretty satisfied with the uni. My course has good lecturers and the uni facilities are good but the campus food is quite overpriced. Maple Bank accommodation is expensive for the terrible condition it was in. The new library in the city is awesome and the SU on campus is pretty good! There is academic and counselling support. Getting a job is daunting but do-able - I feel I've been pretty well prepared. I am part of the nighline, writers bloc and University chorus societies.
