People are lovely, support is amazing, facilities are brilliant. Very clean buildings, spacious and roomy. Only worse thing is the queuing in the large restaurant!
Only 3 weeks in, but so far so good
Does not feel like a university but more like a college
I like how small the uni is, small class sizes, new and clean buildings
The university is supportive and friendly, you get a lot of support from lecturers who care about your learning and attendance making it hard to fall through the gaps. The only down side is due to the location the traffic can cause issues with punctuality.
Lovely lecturers Love the way they set everything out and how much support we get.
The support students get is better than other university’s, teachers are very involved and helpful
I think the uni is great they have many great facilities that are able for us students
Best location Best accommodation Best study No word to explain how good college is Best place to study and good teaching method
The uni has fantastic equipments. The support, especially financially, is unbelievable. The staff are very supportive and friendly. My main concern is transport cost, which would be amazing if there were some funds available from the university.
I love studying here, so far i have had a great time and made new friends. i have been very poorly recently and UCB have been very supportive. Lots of help and resources are easily accessible online and on campus. Very close to amenities and train station being in the centre of Birmingham. Only downside is i have to pay to park nearby but we do get student discount so not to bad. :)

First gen student
location is good, especially the campus being in the city centre. Although the accommodation has its down sides. No one is allowed in beyond the campus gates after 10pm if you don't live there , or if you've not gotten them a visitor pass. You can only get a visitor pass for one person at a time and it has to be done at least 24hrs before hand. Even though we are all 18+. My course itself so far has not been engaging. The lectures and seminars , so far, have seemed more like my secondary school lessons than University. The staff are all lovely and open to help.
everything’s great!
It's technologically advanced for learning. Worse is a bit far from my home.
Great university, support is available for all students. The courses are helpful and you learn a lot.
Great lecturers
