I am studying mechanical at brunel year 1. I have decided to move to birmingham or nottingham next year and start again. Brunel is ok but Loughborough is way better.
The campus is small, Lecture theater isnt very good (chairs hurt your bum). The lecture centre is a very old building which is not designed at all. Only 2 of my lecturers are good rest are very bad making it impossible to learn anything during the lecture. We dont get to do much practical as the labs and workshops are small and are mostly used by design students.
Good points are that the accommodation is cheap and the campus is small so you can get everywhere easily, also its only 50 mins from central which is fun to explore
