What is the ugliest University in the UK?

Nope, I love them too. My other half does as well... he really likes that kind of 60s architecture with loads of massive blocks sticking out and stuff though. This kind of thing:

I love the way UEA looks, but maybe it's just because I love the atmosphere and place so much that it has good associations for me.

Woo!

Yeah I do like that kind of architecture. I went to the open day but ended up not applying there, the chem department wasn't great...

But I do love this building :biggrin:

On a side note though, UEA does make up for it by the good student life and teaching.

UEA was my firm choice before my gap year! It still has a small place in my heart xD

Am I the only person who actually likes those buildings at UEA? :redface:

I LOVE it..I just don't like all the steps. Esp when drunk or my foot's injured (like today)

While I can't speak for most universities I'm not fond of Brunel. It's grey concrete with patches of lifelessness in-between.

I can't say I like them but I don't object to them either as they are fine on the inside.

Yeah same here..but ALL the steps :frown:

Oh yeah Ziggurat steps are quite lethal and the other halls don't have lifts. Keeps you fit lol and lifts are always breaking down.

The steps on the square are way too steep as well!

I've not found them too bad (and this is coming from someone with no balance!)

No offence to city university students but that Uni was pretty ugly, it looks like a council estate.

Because they would have made an offer of AAA, which would have been out of my reach.

Reading offered AAB so I knew that I would chose them.

Neither Essex or UEA are particularly beautiful.

OMG Essex is pretty bad. When I was on the website to apply they showed their campus at a good angle to make it look modern. I take the modern part back now lol. I'm applying as their History modules make up for it nevertheless :tongue:
