I love the campus! Full of lovely restaurants and amazing library. I love how it feels like a little village, with shops like spar, clothes shops and even phone fixing shops. The campus is gorgeous, with the beautiful gardens and clock tower.

University Of Birmingham is very good. I am a medical student and I love the course at the Uni. They have great facilities including a new sports centre and library although these can get very busy. They have great societies and the MedSoc is one of the biggest in the countries and it is so open and varied there is something for everyone! There is an issue with safety in the neighbouring area of Selly Oak with reports of various crimes and we feel unable to go out alone when it is dark. The Uni and police have responded to this though and hopefully it will improve.

Beautiful campus, lots of support for your degree programs especially Physics. Great number of societies and sports clubs to choose from, the latter providing both beginner and advanced sessions.

This university is fantastic. I am studying ancient history and the facilities are definitely some of the best I've seen. There are many museums on and off campus and the lecturers are very informative. The library is a brilliant place to study, with a modern design and thousands of books on anything you could imagine. The campus is very picturesque and safe, with plenty of greenery to make you feel comfortable.

Just started here as a fresher and I'm loving it, great flat, coursemates and degree lectures. Would quite like some more work to be done on loneliness and depression amongst freshers though...

Brill university, just started here as a fresher and I'm loving it so far! The only thing I'd say is that there needs to be a lot of work done with loneliness and depression, especially as a fresher as I've come across quite a lot already here

Amazing environment in the campus with farmers market everyday serving delicious fruits and waffle truck. It has all the facilities required for students and goes beyond to offer £20 free printing for students of the medical school. I am a Med student and can say that most of the course is well structured however some teachings can be improved. We go to go every fortnight from the first year which has helped established my ability to speak to patients and take a decent history . Difficult to talk about careers as that would be down to nhs policy .

Perfect combination of beautiful campus uni but also very close to the city centre. Birmingham offers good student accommodation in an area where there's always something to do. Studying chemical engineering at Birmingham has allowed me to find a great internship working with Unilever and has prepared me well for life in industry. And of course, nights in fab overlooked by the majestic old joe have set me up with friends and memories I will keep forever. I would recommend Birmingham to anyone as it has something for everyone. I have enjoyed all the new sports facilities and the quality and quantity of study areas is increasing year on year making it almost bearable to sit up long nights finishing off group projects.

Couldn't find a better university if I tried. The whole campus is beautiful and everything is so close by. University has its own train station making all areas of the West Midlands easily accessible. Brilliant student union nights out such as sports night. Could do more for safety and mental health.

The building is really big and there is alot of space to discover and explore. But getting from one place to another can become a bit of a challenge especially between lectures and finding seats for a group of friends to revise at is sometimes difficult. However I do enjoy the open grass space and the trees on campus, I does add a nice touch to the space.

Great university with great people, lecturers and staff and the student hub is extremely helpful. Facilities are new and clean and resourceful for students. As an international student doing law, i highly recommend birmingham university to other students who seek to pursue their studies in the UK

Everything you needed was on campus, the city is 10mins away on the train. Nights out are so close and cheap to get to. Student nights on campus (fab) are the best. Learning facilities are good. The new sports centre has everything you would want,

Can't fault the university at all. The campus is so beautiful, especially during the autumn. All the staff are so helpful too.

The course is by far the best nursing course In England as it gives you the opportunity to gain experience from all sectors of nursing.

The University of Birmingham has a beautiful campus due to the huge amount of green space and amazing red brick buildings. The student union is great and has so much on offer including a weekly club night, careers service, restaurants, shops and offers around 300 societies so everyone will be able to find something to take part in. The new sport and fitness centre is huge and very well equipped.

The University of Birmingham has one of the most beautiful campus's I know. The red brick buildings and clock tower (old joe) and green campus are what sets this University apart from many others. The student union has so much to offer and is actually voted one of the best in the country. There are a huge range of societies (300) so everyone can find an extracurricular activity to do.

The campus itself is both very pretty and functional. There are so many buildings that there's more than enough room for all students and there are shops, banks and food outlets all on campus meaning students barely even have to leave to get what they need! The student accommodation on The Vale is in a quiet area of Birmingham and is surrounded by nature which is lovely for walking and making you feel calm. My course, social work is very interesting and well structured. The use of the student portal Canvas is fantastic as it means I can find all the resources I need online. Birmingham made me feel very welcome due to all the events they put on for freshers week and those organised by hall reps, as well as giving me the opportunity to meet my flatmates online before moving in.
