- Good: Selly Oak is made for students, with lots of housing, cafes, shops, etc. - Bad: the medical school building has had a lack of investment for years and years and is practically falling down .

Excellent campus and student life, good distance from city centre. Accomodation is great but I know some blocks aren’t as good. Also aware that student life isn’t as social in accommodation off the vale village

The University of Birmingham offers a vibrant and supportive student experience, with a beautiful campus, great facilities, passionate lecturers, and an active student community that makes it an exciting place to study, especially with Birmingham’s diverse and affordable city life just a short walk or train ride away. However, there are areas that could be improved, including the high cost and limited availability of accommodation, overcrowded study spaces during peak times, occasional issues with slow or unclear communication, and safety concerns in parts of Selly Oak. Overall, it’s a fantastic place to study, but like any university, there are a few challenges students often point out.

I think the medicine school could have more spaces where you can talk and eat. I think it could also be a bit more vibrant, so at times it does seem quite dull. But I think uni itself has been very fun, the societies have been fun.

It is just chilled and a good vibe ,the campus is really nice. To improve they could try and keep each building as modern looking as each other and keep convenient sockets in halls

The best aspect, how University of Birmingham have a role for International student. For example there was a Christmas day in campus that makes international students never feel before in their country (especially for Asian). Also how UoB makes sure the students feel safe and helpful. As an international student, UoB really help to manage my career in the future, start from making CV and offer experience outside the campus.

Is a high striving university with high aspirations for students. Besides the beautiful campus the guild for students is a great community for both commuters and those in accommodation.

The best thing about the University is the people, the students on the course are really friendly and easy to get along with and a lot of the staff are genuinely nice people who want to see you do well. What I appreciate about the university is all the different opportunities they provide for us. For example, I recently managed to get a job at the University of Birmingham that helps underprivileged Sixth formers apply to University which is something I am passionate about. Another thing I appreciate is the location, being close to Birmingham city centre and Bristol road and Selly Oak, there are lots of opportunities to go on nights out and do fun activities with friends ( me and my friends went to the German Christmas markets in town and we had so much fun). One thing that could be improved is cheap food options on campus, I feel like there are not a lot of accessible snacks and quick meals. It is quite a bother having to leave campus to get food sometimes.

Library is a beautiful space to study but spaces are hard to find due to how busy it is during the day. Some hidden gems for study spaces can be found on campus too and a lot of green spaces for socialising but only in the summer due to how poor the weather is overall.
