I also applied to Birmingham City and Oxford Brooks. My first choice was BC until now when I heard so much negative attitude toward the city. It is an industrial city with a high rate in crime. I still want to hear sth from somebody who lives there. Anyone?

Obviously if you're comparing it to a rural town that's different, but you're unlikely to find another large city that's significantly safer.

It has very low crime rates for a big city.
The lowest of all the major ones I believe.

no point spending £27,000 to study at BCU. Do a apprenticeship not only will it save you money,you will be more likely to find a job after. Then you can still go Uni after

I'm currently a second year at BCU on a computing degree... AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS! The lecturers have no idea what they're doing, our course is four months late in receiving coursework and yet they won't extend the deadline to reflect this. We have complained numerous times and have on-going meetings with senior staff who fob us off and make false promises. Go anywhere except here, I have contemplated switching unis or dropping out entirely such an utter disappointment.

The University of Birmingham is ranked very highly for computing and Aston is not bad either... I'll be applying for both come October
Birmingham seems like a great city from when I have visited, vibrant and not too big like London.
BCU is not great as far as I know.

Hi I know this thread is old but I was thinking of going to BCU to do Diagnostic Radiography, I've heard mixed opinions about BCU however someone said its the environment that's bad about BCU not the teaching.

I'd say if you can only get into bcu it isn't worth going and if your considering going here when you have top 30 options you probably aren't too smart.

I'd probably suggest avoiding it for non vocational courses though.

It's very good for chef and culinary skills - anything to with catering. The top chefs come there to practice for competitions and most top chefs in the city trained there.

As others have said, it's good for some subjects - definitely Healthcare too. But probably not too great for computing.
