 " Really enjoyed my time there! Great support services if you're a study with a mental health condition or disability. Great social scene in Birmingham - large student population as there's three universities in close proximity. Lots of great social spots, clubs, pubs etc. "

 " I recommend this uni, I've had a very good experience. The classes have been very interactive and enjoyable. It has been easy to engage as the teaching staff have been very friendly. I would recommend attending the weekly events that are held there as they are often free and provide good knowledge of opportunities and aspects helpful to any student. The library has a very extensive collection of books and articles, that have been very applicable to my research. Any resources that were not available can be requested and the faculty has a good response rate, in terms of assisting students attain necessary materials. "

 " Overall, there isn't much to fault. However, a major pattern noted by myself and numerous other students, is that some teachers are completely unwilling to offer helpful tips or feedback on assignments. "

 " Could have done more in terms of communication and student support. I sometimes felt a bit in the dark. Overall it has been okay, but the response time for support is very slow. Having to wait three months just for a first appointment is not good at all. The library service, however, is excellent. "

 " Very happy with everything. I moved here after completing my first year of university elsewhere at the university Brighton and have enjoyed my time here thoroughly. The building is very new and modern. Classes can sometimes be a bit rowdy, it is strange that students here seem to care less about respect in classes than at my previous university. All around I am pleased to have attended this university. "
