If you believe in your right to free speech, don't come to this University. They are disciplining 13 students for taking part in a peaceful protest.

[AngelWithoutSoul]

applied, waiting for an interview :} so scared and so excited at the same :}

[sexidolofsatan]

i'm applying to this university, it's probably the one which has drawn my attention most. what's the international 'scene' like though? are there lots of people from abroad the UK?

[unibirmingham]

@sexidolofsatan There are students from all over the world studying here, in fact we have one of the largest international student communities in the UK!

[unibirmingham]

@LAUGHOUTQUIETLY We also have a foundation programme for Engineering that you can apply for. Have a look at our website for more information :)

Proud to be one of the UoB students

[MilliVanilli2007]

Really? Good uni? Just got accepted and have no idea whether this is a good uni or not? I can see it is a big campus? Good reputation?

[unibirmingham]

@MilliVanilli2007 Hi, if you check out our league table results, it will give you a better idea of our well the University is doing. If you want more information, please contact Student Recruitment or Admissions :)

[Showko22Milk]

@MilliVanilli2007 What course are you doing ?? I just got accepted by the University too.. I'm doing Civil ..

[MilliVanilli2007]

@Showko22Milk Congrats! I would do Clinical Neuropsychiatry. But I am not even sure if I am going to accept. Can't decide. Shame, that would have been funny if we had 'found each other' here on youtube, doing the same course :) good luck

[Showko22Milk]

@MilliVanilli2007 :). Yea. how old are you and where are u frm ?

[DavidBreeds]

went to the open day yesterday. SOOOO much better than i was expecting. this is by far my faveroute uni. medical department really impressed me. well wanna come here

[athoughtfulman]

I AM studying here, if I go back in time I prefer to sell my kiney (if I can find a legal way to do that) and go to a better university rather than studying here, most of what you here is just advertising, i.e. WebCT is more like a joke, there is not a 24X7 computer cluster in whole uni, feedbaqck are really jokes here, I can show you mines, adminstration does not have to answer to any student and they usually don't

[unibirmingham]

We're sorry that you feel this way about the University. Have you filled in your Postgraduate Survey to feed these views back to us formally? We would be interested to hear your problems with WebCT. There are 24 hour computer clusters on campus in the Learning Centre and the Medical School. I hope that you appreciate that as administration we do answer to you.

[unibirmingham]

I think you would be best to feedback through PRES (Postgraduate Research Experience Survey) or the Student Satisfaction Survey if you feel so strongly about these issues. We will also feedback your views to the appropriate departments in the University.

[oneummi89]

I think it really depends on the school to take full use of WebCT or not. My school, for example, has been using WebCT for all purposes ; lectures, notes, exercises, laboratory preparations, etc. I find that WebCT really is a life-saver. The feedbacks I've got from the univ were most helpful and prompt. From the ISAS, the library, the Munrow and many others, all replied to my queries perfectly.

I am sorry that you did not enjoy your experience in Birmingham as much as I am.

[oneummi89]

So, you have issues with the general idea with universities. I am sorry to hear that. I am here simply to say that I did not find University of Birmingham as bad as you think. I am enjoying my time here, and hope prospective students will do the same.

[Suleimenoff]

Actually there are 24/7 computer clusters...
