Hi everyone,
Im currently doing my A2 levels and I'm planning to do a law degree at the university. I have received all my offers, but I'm having a major dillema with what uni I should go to so I thought I'll ask you guys about your experiences. My main dillema is between the University of Westminster and Brikbeck University of London. I went to an open day to the university of Wesminster yesterday and it was was quite good, I really liked the staff there and everything seemed really nice but I'm a little bit worried about the recent events and the fact that someone like Jihadi John went there, I know it could happen in any institutions however I came across a comment on uni of wesmintser's facebook page from a former student saying that she was bullied by 'radicals' during her time at Westminster which scared me a little bit. Does anyone have any actual unbiased experiences with that university? What is the student community like? And what is it like when it comes to teaching and learning law? And my second dillema is Birkbeck University of London which is an evening university and I have noticed that it consists of very mature students. I'm currently 18 and I'm a little bit worried that I'm not gonna fit in with all those mature students and I don't want to completely stand out. Also, the teaching staff seemed to be less experienced than the teaching staff in Westminster and I'm not sure if I'm that keen on having my lectures during the evening. So does anyone have any experiences with Birkbeck and can tell me whether it is a good university or not? Is the student community nice? And is the teaching staff good?
To summarise this I would really appreciate honest and unbiased opinions about those two universities previously mentioned as I'm having a hard time choosing which one I want to go to.
Thank you,
