If you went to Oxford Brookes you could always just say when people asked what uni you went to, you could go 'Oh i go in Oxford', they'd be like :eek:

But Oxford Brookes is an ex-poly if that has any bearing on you.

Surrey has a bit more of a reputation but when I went Surrey to the business school it just seemed a little.... unfriendly might be a word i'd use, but one of my mates has put it as firm as he said it was great when he went for the law school.

It's a hard question to answer having studied at one and never been to the other...but I don't rate Surrey much myself

I would say Surrey is suprior to OB, but then again I am slightly biased :biggrin:

Better in the league tables, not an ex-poly. And a "primary" university rather than "secondary", which is what I call OB, although OB is still good, as it was in my initial application.

Why don't you?

I have my reasons, but there's no point in me putting people off when they may have a different experience.

I'm not sure when/why it happened, but I'm not motivated at all, I really don't care about my degree and don't enjoy the course at all

Were these personal reasons or academic reasons (on the side of the Uni itself, that is)?
