The University of Birmingham has without a doubt the best campus in the UK- a picturesque red brick campus. My campus has great facilities, however the student union could be improved.

Recent and continued work on the campus is ever improving the aesthetic of the university. The 'green heart' is making fast progress and ensuring a beautiful green surrounding to the incredible red brick buildings that are so famous. The facilities on campus are second to none, everything you could need within a small radius, including the student union who are always welcoming and ready to assist you. Although I did not make use of the careers services I am well aware that they exist and that students are encouraged and directed towards these. My whole experience has been wonderful, I wanted a campus university and I was very much in the uni bubble, living on the vale, only a short walk to campus, then moving to selly oak, a mainly student living area again, an even shorter walk to campus. We also have our own campus train station making travelling/ visiting the city ridiculously easy.

The campus is incredibly beautiful as well as well stocked with high tech equipment and resources. The new library is amazing and made doing research etc so much easier. Staff that I studied with were all exceptionally friendly and student focused. There are so many events put on by the university and the SU also that I really couldn't have picked a better place to study.

The university of Birmingham has given me the best memories and experiences for the last 3 years! The best bits are: the pretty campus, the sporting facilities and the new library!!

Really beautiful scenic campus, with a lot of history. Hosts regular events on local campus bars and clubs. Always something going on. Careers services host regular events for undergrate and post grad students and always make an effort to advertise properly

Great uni with many great lecturers who are highly accomodating! The campus itself if gorgeous and the new library built in 2017 is a real asset to the university’s academic life!

UOB is one of the most academically challenging institutions I have attended. The lecturers are constantly encouraging you to stretch yourself and read outside of suggested literature . As an academic I have really benefited from this, it’s also reflected in my writing.

The University of Birmingham is outstanding in its resources for learning. The campus is very large and aesthetically pleasing. The guild of students has done a lot to provide the students with social events, health products, and general services.

Beautiful campus in a very central location. It's really easy to get into the centre of town and to clubs on Broad Street and Digbeth. Good facilities, though a lack of student study spaces for the number of students. Whilst I was there, investment in university facilities seemed to be mismatched to what the students need. Great student Guild: lots of different societies and a great club night - fab and fresh.

University of birmingham has a great campus which is very picturesque and the buildings are amazing to go visit. The campus is really big but with all the signs it is really easy to navigate around and once you know where certain buildings are you will be able to find everything you need to.

The accomodation, student union, opportunities, campus, nightlife, everything is 10/10. I couldn't have wished to go to a better university and I've met some incredible friends.

One of the best universities in the UK that appears even in QS rankings in Top 100 in the world. Studying here offers you the great honour to meet different personalities that have plenty of merits in the research area!

I love my university, my course Poltical science and international relations is amazing, the lectures are very good! The facilities here are amazing too, with so many restaurants, Costa, Starbucks, work spaces, amazing sport centre, the list goes on! The student union put on Fab once a week, which are good, the Duck and Scholar which is a student bar on the vale is the best! My experience so far is ten out of ten.

Student union is fab, love nights out there!!!!! I swim for the uni in the brand new sports centre which is amazing! I love my course and my housemates and spending time working in the medical school library

Very nice campus, lectures always happy to help with your issues. Timetable is sometimes a pain, but overall not too bad. Very good research facilities and you have a lot of opportunities to undertake work experience in the lab with one of your favourite lectures over the summer, while getting bursary for living costs.

The lecturers are very supportive and get to know students well. This is despite a large number of law students. The law society, Holdsworth, is extremely social and well connected to law firms. The course was very well organised and career services offered are also well

The university and campus itself is beautiful. Have recently built new modern library and sports center. Very multicultural. Location is ideal. University has its own station 2 stops from town. Also right next to smelly oak where student houses are. First year halls are about 25 mins away walking. But a great experience. Night life is great. Best 3 years of my life

Apart from being a top University, Birmingham has a lot more to offer, such as a bustling city, amazing nightlife and hundreds of things to do. The facilities are very good on a wonderful green, massive campus.

Beautiful campus with a great student union. Always a large choice of societies to join and other aspects of uni life both on and off your course which means you become fully involved.

Great teaching and learning experience with top facilities (the new library is awesome!). Love the global community and all the opportunities present from academic development to career guidance, not forgetting societies and sports. Lots of development work on campus currently so the next few years will still see lots of cranes and construction all around campus but 2020 onwards, campus will be looking top-notch!

Excellent facilities and student support. Accommodation for first years is good. Lecturers not always the best but support always available if you look for it!
