Is there any current/former Brunel or Westminster students out there?

DestinysDream · (#1 (**permalink**))

I have decided to go to university this year to study Law, I have had offers fromfour of mysixchoicesand I really cannot decide between Brunel and Westminster.

I would really appreciate some current/former students experiences of either to help me make my decision.

Did you like it/not? and why?

Thanks for your help

In general, Brunel is better, but you need to assess in terms of which is best for your chosen course.

Westminster is very low in the league tables and this may detract from the credibility of your degree.
Westminster library resources are quite poor, not enough books to go round, it's not even open 24 hours.
I can't say much about the social side of things, but the spaces at residential halls are limited.

Westminster is okay, nothing special, in my opinion. I know people going to Brunel, doing Law who like it there.

Good luck with your choice!

In the late 90's Brunel was often quoted as the place to go to study Law which is why my friend chose to go there to study and I never heard this about Westminster....however I don't know if this high rating is still evident today.

I am a currant Brunel student, but I am based at Twickenham campus, so i can't really help you out. What i can say is that my course (PGCE) has been really disorganised because it is moving to the Uxbridge campus in September. If you think living/working on a building site is bad, try attending a course on a campus that is effectively shutting down!! They have even started work on building the 'luxery flats' already! talk about can't wait for us to leave!!

But Brunel has always had a good rep, particularly for Law and teaching, so if nothing else, it will look good on your CV lol Congrats on getting an offer ( i was so happy i cried when i got mine!) and good luck where ever you decide to go.

Hey DestinysDream, I am currently are Brunel and doing Law incidentally. I really enjoy life at Brunel, I am following the four-year thin-sandwich program, so I have two six month periods of work experience, which is great and valued in the profession.

Given your two choice, I would say Brunel is better for Law, both in teaching and research. I should say that I have found Law very laid back here in comparison to other London uni's so you gotta make sure you remain focussed. Enjoy your first year anyway because it doesn't count to your degree, though you need a 40% pass rate.

Good luck in your choices

Bless, CC

Actually, Madfet, I am on track to gain a first in my degree. I do not spend much time in the library due to the fact that I find it difficult to concentrate around lots of people. Obviously I do not write as I have in essays otherwise I would not be gaining 90% plus in exams and coursework. As this is an informal site, I was using informal 'text' speech. I also use alot of slang when Im communicating informally with others, this does not mean that I cannot useproperenglishwhen i choose too. Anyway, a huge part of the university experience is the soical life, learning to live on your own, reading books and learning in an academic sense has always come easily to my self so I felt I should offer destinysdream a chance to see what I have learnt over the past few years.

@Destinysdream good luck whatever you choose, I also beleive that Brunel moved up the Guardian league tables this year (again).
