Overall Birmingham has a really great atmosphere. The student union set up loade of fairs and events in the first few weeks so people could settle in and the sports and over all facilities of the uni haelve exceeded my expectations.

You can't get wifi on site. The union is okay, but only if your not in private accomodation. Not had chance to rate the clubs yet, but there is alot of them

Such a great Uni, the campus is beautiful and there always so much going on- the facilities are good- but with a new library and sports centre being built, they're only going to get better! Our guild of students is the nicest one I've seen, after visiting lots of friends Uni's- and the guild night out, fab and fresh is one of the best nights out in Birmingham! There's so many eating places on campus, with 3 costas, a Starbucks and subway, and then a lot of the university's own Go Cafés dotted around- and the Uni burritos are reason enough to come to Birmingham! Birmingham city itself is so great as well due to the diversity in it's night life- there's a night out to suit everyone's taste- and the shopping is fab due to the bullring! Plus you have loads of a cool places to visit such as the jewellery quarter, star city and cannon hill park!

The university is in a central location and its medical school especially has a great reputation and the unique advantage of being associated with Queens Hospital Birmingham, one of UKs finest hospitals.

The University campus is great; very green, with plenty of study spaces and places to eat. The Guild do an amazing job as the Student Union with a vast variety of events which cater for all. There are so many societies to chose from, all of which attend the Societies Fair at the beginning of the year and joining fees are reasonable. The internet is free for all with an intranet log in on campus, it works most of the time.

Library needs to be bigger to accommodate more students, although they are building a new one and there are other places on campus to study. Loads of different societies to join, with mostly low joining costs. Campus feels a bit rural given it is outside the city centre but the train will get you there in 5-8 minutes from the Uni's own station.Fresher's club events should accommodate more clubs and more music tastes. Most of the accommodation is a ridiculous price, for some unknown reason- this isn't London.

I <3 my uni, so glad I picked it! Couldn't have asked for a better student experience. The music life is extremely active, social and enjoyable. I have really developed as a person and an employee.
