A fabulous place to study Psychosocial Studies. However, there are not many places for students go to study privately, or relax.

Overall I am happy with this university. I like the late lectures which means I unable to work 9-5 and still attend my classes. I'm not a member of any societies or clubs and I'm not quite sure what the union do.

I very much enjoy studying here at Birkbeck University. The course and lecturers have been what I expected. I like going to the theatre in London. I don't belong to the student union. The degree is a passport to the interview.

The course is stimulating and I do not need any effort to get involved in it. The course is always open to debate and contemporary issues concerning politics and society. Even though sometimes we have lectures to other institutions I cannot really complain about my uni's facilities. Learning support, career employability and development is good at the University.

Attending Birkbeck was the worst decision of my life. The lecturers are hard to understand, short and do not care about their students.The constitutional Law lecturer races through his lectures with no structure making them impossible to understand. Many students said he was incoherent and rambling. The University takes 3 months + to return assignments, which is disgusting and frustrating. They claim to have over "600 students beside you" to deal with. Maybe they shouldn't admit so many students if they cannot return work in a decent time frame. I was shouted at by one of the LLB office staff for requesting to speak to someone about my assignment taking 3 months to grade. My request to write a complaint after being verbally abused was then denied. There were many other problems. The university lacks any kind of activity, has no gym or sporting clubs and RENTS other buildings for their lecture. It is simply a "for profit" organisation who hires ex students to deliver bad education to people who lack formal education. I went there so I could work through the day and regret the time and money wasted. The sugar emails you receive when they know you are annoyed by their lazy ways are also vile. Never again will I step foot on Birkbeck grounds.

The tutors are great and eager to help. They realise that we have time constraints due to most of us having to work too. They answer our emails quickly. It is too crouded here though especially the library so much so I rarly study there. Clubs and societies fall flat as most students at Birbeck work as well. The same can be said for why the student union has little effect here.

The modules vary greatly. It is difficult to get in touch with lecturers out of hours. We don't even have email addresses for them. The reputation of Birbeck is very good though so I am hoping my job prospects will be greatly improved.

I live in the International Student Halls which are good but there is a leaky roof at the moment. The best thing about London is the Tube - it's so convenient! I use Senate House Library a lot as it's full of great resources and there are always computers available to work on.
