Overall
I wish I had known...
"Style" of study was "independent" meaning they hand you a reading list, and don't reallly proviude much in the way of direction, expectations, or instruction. The true location of Brunel is not in London.

In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
I would give Brunel a low recommendation. If, like me, this is the only place for your course of study, there are ways to make it better, but avoid Brunel if you can.

During my experience abroad, I ...
(1) Never – (4) A lot
Became familiar with another culture
Met people from other countries
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies & career
Final comments
Due to inattentive/insensitive staff I had a less than positive experience here. It is most definitely not a cultural difference, I am here studying culture and have learned quite a lot about the UK educational system, and Brunel is not by any means the pearl of it.

Personal spending habits
I did more travelling and the usage for phone is crazy, you do not have a personal phone and there are no rate plans. Most people use mobiles which are fairly expensive or payphones.

Personal comments
i cant complain about accomodation at all, everything was perfectly arranged. It´s always perfect to live with other students (different nationalities) on one place, i shared one flat in a hall with other 6 students.

“It was good”

Overall
Brunel has everything in campus in terms of club, bar, food court , gym, pray room, etc. It is an international school which your classmates are come from world wide. I learnt from what I experienced in life more than what I learnt from school. I was unhappy with my accommodation, and they changed for me immediately. They care about students. However, my friend had an unpleasant experienced. I am not her so I am not going to highlight it here. In short, my year of learning was good.

Cons
It is located in Zone 6, far from central if you are looking for fun.
