Birmingham or UCL for chemical engineering

I've been trying to decide for a while now but it's tough.
I've seen some things about UCL's engineering department not being great which is kinda putting me off but they were from a few years ago. Has it improved since then?

If anyone who has studied at either university and/or is doing chemical engineering there could give me a bit of advice that would be quite helpful
I want to also hear about the social life and the uni experience in general at both

When I was applying two years ago I considered UoB to be better than UCL. They seemed to have a better department all in all, a really good ChemEng society and solid industry links too in terms of employability. Can't really speak to how nice it is as a city though.

Did you end up going Birmingham then?

Bro, I’m in the exact same position. I want to stay in London but all the reviews are putting me off. I need help

ikr its tough
yh the reviews are off putting. I feel like i havent read anything about their course from recent years tho??
personally idm moving out of london for uni, i think it would be a fun experience

i think we both need help but we definitely are not the only ones

I wouldn't mind moving out either tbh, but I wanna do a year in industry and masters (easier to get chartered) and i cba to live i Birmingham for 5 years

ooh yh thats fair enough. I've not applied for the year in industry but ive applied for the masters
i'm sure u r already know this but Manchester's yr in industry is rlly good - get ur course done in 4 yrs
