Is Oxford Brookes a rubbish university?

Disclaimer: I realise that Brookes is a great uni, and don't mean to offend anyone that goes there.

Oh lets be frank; Brookes is a **** university and everyone knows it - no need to be nice about it.

prove it.

No need to I go with public perception.

Nop, that's good enough for me. You want to prove that it is actually a good university then you do the research.

which public?

Of course, you could go with public perception - 'Oh Noes, itz a Poly lol'.

While this is an interesting discussion, I would like to remind posters that I am trying to determine my future plans, so I can't help but find this rather irksome. I am not looking for contributors to plan my whole life for me but some on topic advice would be much appreciated, or at least not redirect my thread so as to discourage others from making useful posts.

Apologies for my impatience, but I hope you can understand where I am coming from.

Now this is where my unintentioned snobbery comes in. My first issue is a pyschological one about going from Oxford to Brookes. This is however an issue I need to deal with myself. The second is the quality of the course.

i think it's safe to say that oxford brookes can provide a good level of education and your sweeping generalisations are unfounded and quite frankly, pointless.

Let me give you my perspective: the students who study are a sorry excuse for 'students' they might be satisfied but they are quite frankly dumb as ****. I have lived with a couple of oxford brookes students for a few months and here is the impression I got:

1. Their course material is A-level material
2. They hardly ever work because they don't really have anything to do
3. They went out 4-5 nights a week implying the above
4. Their course material was downright wrong - I know because I corrected the lecturers maths and physics more than once when I was helping them out.

We've been here before and I didn't think much of it then. I used to go out 4-5 nights a week too, so what? I was taught stuff that was wrong as well from time to time. What exactly do they study? You were reluctant to tell me last time.

Well, to be fair you generalise your impression to 'everyone else' without a shred of justification. Also, to quote the pope 'Truth is not subject to majority opinion' - especially when that majority know so little about a university as to believe selected anecdotal examples are generalisable.

I may be heading for a 2:2, but even simple old me can recognise that the above discussion is of no use to me. I asked about the quality of the course, which I accept is inextricably linked to the quality of the institution but I already know enough about the institution.

Also, if you notice in my first post I clearly stated that my snobbery is an issue which I said I would deal with myself.

Don't you think your debate could be bettered served by starting your own topic as opposed to hijacking mine and then struggling to justify its relevance to the original post? I appreciate it is a public forum, but I ask you again to try and understand why this annoys me.

If you move your debate elsewhere, and there are no more replies to my topic at least I know the topic is dead I will stop looking to see if anyone has added any further advice.
