hi everyone, I am a current student at LSBF Manchester so I will give my honest opinion of the place.

I would 100% discourage anyone planning to attending here.

The tutors I have are amazing but that the only praise I can give LSBF Manchester.
The receptionist is a student also and has the biggest chip on her shoulder possible. The admin staff are ridiculous. All staff at this LSBF (except the tutors I have) must **** roses and fart rainbows. I have never come across a more patronizing, miserable, snobby set of people. in the 15 minute breaks we have that is the only time they will see/speak to students regarding any issues we have. The looks they give you when you do knock on the door is frustrating....come on admin if you don't like the job don't do it.
Then the manager is exactly the same, please correct me if i am wrong but managers are supposed to be approachable right? well this woman has a block of ice replacing her heart and may as well have a sign above her head with an arrow pointing to her saying do not approach.

The whole atmosphere of it is miserable. Literally in the past month or 2 is when we got working Wi-Fi, coffee machine, vending machine, water dispenser and working attendance scanners. we have 3 female toilets for the whole of the students and are currently between 2 buildings on the opposite ends of the road to each other. most people are international students or scruffs wanting student finance without doing their work, most of my class not including me didn't even bother to complete and submit assignments because they just cant be arsed to do the work or cannot understand it due to them not having English as a first language or 2nd language.

I am only still here because I have worked so hard already and wont throw away what i have achieved so far.

If an LSBF rep is on this page I suggest
1) Your staff need to go through a tougher recruitment process, staff are working with people all day so if they cannot enjoy working with people why employ them?? their attitude is all wrong. I for one would love that job role.

2) You need a criteria set out to students applying, my time with my tutor is being taken up by people who cannot understand the brief's and the business terminology.

3) You on behalf of LSBF say sorry for the way people are being treated.

4) You become a whistle blower because you know all I have written is correct and you are allowing it to go ahead.

Thank you

thats exactly why i joined. heres a little of my story so people can read.

For people who want to go to LSBF: I went to LSBF Manchester, wont give my name or anything but its the worst place ive ever gone too, ive dropped out and applied to MMU this year 2014, i was studying HND, I am not sure where your attending but let me give you a review of the place. First off all, all this stuff on how they are professional is all a lie because they are not all my class mates actually hated it and most of them have left, second the team for example reception, the staff, they have no idea what they are doing, always giving us wrong timetables every few months, and I attended all my classes then I get an email saying i haven't attended my classes, in fact everyone did, the police had to come because students where arguing and all, so many of them it was unbelievable, then they said i was kicked out, i went to the place and they said and i quote " i don't know who said that or why, your not kicked out but attendance was low" and that was the last straw for me i was so angry because so many other problems, assignments not being handed in when they where.

So many people left from my group that we had to merge with another class, out of like I am not sure now 30 people only 8 remain from my group. Plus they keeping moving the timetables back and fourth you end up coming weeks earlier or weeks later like who knows what crap they give. staff are so dumb with emails they said reply to this email and what was in the email box, it said insert email address like really? Its cheap YES but worth it NO never, DONT do it or anyone who is going there it don't go this is what I've gone through, its the worst place ever.

the teachers are sooo boring its unbelievable like wow, i cant even begin to describe. in quick terms, many left, full of crap, IT and staff are useless and liars like literally liars, like I singed on paper register for months attendance was high few months later attendance low they said you need to swipe with card so i did that then they said you need to do both like hell no enough was enough.

DONT GO WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY
