Good wifi, nice accommodation, good overall
I have to admit that the city of Oxford is one of the best places to be in this world. It is very old and inspiring. There is a strong feeling that Oxford Brookes doesn't fit in this description though. The actual "feel" of the university is far from what you think of it before you come there. The student prospectus is a bunch of lies, so don't even bother reading this crap. This university is just a typical business that only cares about money and nothing else. The accommodation is unreasonably overpriced,considering what you get for your cash. The food they serve at the cafeteria is expensive, tasteless and unhealthy. My personal experience was horrible. My degree is in Project management. A word of warning to you guys, don't choose anything related to construction/surveying at Brookes. These courses are taught by ignorant ****s that couldn't make it in real life, having zero industry experience they decided to "teach" young people. Don't make my mistake and go to a good University
Engaging staff, great facilities, great student crowd.
Great social uni, everyone is so friendly and night life is amazing
the university is brillant that is all i have to say wifi drops out ocasinaly and the student union is not very big and no cheap drinks :/
I'm enjoying my time, though can't imagine much prospect.
The wifi is really slow at the times you need it most. The SU doesn't really so much for student life. The JHBB is the best though.
Washing machines are poor as many break often. Wifi is extremely poor in halls and also on the platform in jhb unless you have a mac. Brookes snow has been extremely good fun and I have made many friends through it.
I love brookes! Oxford is a great city too
Unfortunately the location of Harcourt Hill Campus does not help you if you have an active extra curricular life. The majority of all clubs and societies are located at Headington Campus. Which, unfortunately for people on Harcourt, means a 45 minute bus ride at best heading both ways! The internet here can be intermittent at best, as sometimes I have re-sign in again! The student union bar is often very quiet, as there isn't enough people to create a hubbub for the place, personally we really need a little shop selling important food shopping items, and an ATM machine, as the cashback system in the refectory can only give you so much!
really really terrible wifi, especially in halls, this needs to be sorted asap. We're paying too much for it to be bad
Good range of sports clubs which are good, and the gym is quite good. Close to the city centre, and the Cowely road, which are good for nights out. Private accommodation is not that great value and is rather competitive. The SU puts on a small selection of activities sometimes - and a film every week - although the city is a better bet for entertainment. Library is nice, although fills up very quickly.
Very good experience, love Brookes!!!
i could be be more happy with my university! The societies really go for it on Wednesday nights at Fuzzy Ducks and it's crazy!! The dance society is just amazing!! Couldn't ask for a better range of classes and they have a show and go on tour to Salou!! The facilities in Headington are amazing but up at Harcourt Hill we could do with some more renovations!! Absolutely love it though!
