Latest Reviews
Brunel University of London Beautiful Campus
Brunel University is a beautiful institution located in the suburban town of Uxbridge, West London. I had the opportunity to spend two weeks there during the summer of 2023, participating in an English course for foreign students. The campus is well-organized and provides a great environment for learning and exploration.
Honest Review of My Experience at Brunel University
As an international student at Brunel University, my experience has been disappointed. It often feels like the primary focus is on generating revenue from international students, rather than providing a worthwhile education. I’ve invested approximately $50-60K, but the value doesn’t align with the cost. The courses are often outdated and lack practical, real-world applications that could benefit our future careers.
While the staff and teachers are generally supportive and professional, the overall experience feels more like a business transaction than an enriching educational journey. If given the chance, I would reconsider my decision to attend Brunel University.
This is my honest opinion, and I hope it helps future students make a more informed choice.
