What is Birkbeck like? (applying for philosophy B.A)

I know that I can quite easily google this question but from what I have read the uni has undergone recent changes, in offering full-time courses, and I have seen very diverse reviews which are probably more of a reflection on the course than the university.

I have only heard good things about their philosophy department, which is apparently among the best in london. I'm also applying to Warwick, KCL, Heythrop and Birmingham.

From what I have heard, Birkbeck caters well for mature students and postgraduates. I am applying for the philosophy B.A which is 3 years full-time; I've actually got an interview this coming monday, which i'm a little nervous about.

I have been there twice, for my interview and attended a taster evening a few days ago, it's a fantastic environment, really, very helpful staff, kind people, and the short lecture I attended (I'll be studying BA History) really made me look forward to starting in October. What's more, I made some friends in 1 hour time I was there, so yes, I would totally recommend BBK to you, even though I don't know about the other universities you applied to

Check this out. I saw it yesterday! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y79Uhsm5tbc&feature=youtu.be

I'm starting at Birkbeck this October studying BA Linguistics and languages with Spanish and I've only heard good things and good reviews about the place. I haven't yet seen or heard a bad word against it.
