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.

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
This country is EXPENSIVE! Also Brunel is not "in" London, it is a fifteen minute walk or bus ride to Uxbridge which is then an hour and a half tube ride to London which costs £6.50.

Personal comments
Too expensive, someone "had" to come fix something about once a month, cleaning staff in and out at random times, often while you are sleeping.
