Depends on your point of view - I'm going Brunel soon.

Brunel didn't require maths A Level, has very new, very nice facilities and some great characters. The rest of the campus was really nice too.

yeh i completely agree! im goin brunel next month to do a computing course..wat u taking? i'vee neva heard a bad story about the student life at brunel...its meant to be really good...and yeh the facilities are meant to be great...and they've been refurbishin sum of the buildings aswell for 2006 students apparently.if u thinkin bout doin a sandwich course...brunel would be better cos of the closeness of central london and so ur wokrplacement wud be likely to be decent than surrey. but then again its more expensive to live in london area...its entirely ur decision at the end of the day

I got offers from both Brunel and Surrey, but I went for Surrey in the end.

Brunel do not offer many "optional" modules so you have to follow a set course structure and you cannot choose what modules you want to take, as I found out at their open day. Also, Surrey seems to be much higher rated in both the Guardian and Times uni course rankings for Computer Science, and the uni has one of the best graduate employment rates in the country. Both unis have good train links to London so I wouldn't worry about the quality of your work placement.

Surrey requires A-level maths though, so if you haven't got that then there isn't much point in applying but you won't need maths with Brunel.
