3.1
Academic centric
Focussed on its reputation and network of industries.
Tips: They must know that this college is in a suburban area. Though its QS ranking is very high, they will have limited options for a good-quality student life because the city is not Manchester or Liverpool. Though it has a small network of people, reaching out to them is easier compared to Russell Group universities. It has a good consortium with industries and companies, so getting to work with them would be possible with good recommendations.
Likes (Part time work): The availability of part-time jobs is high because of nearby accessible cities. Also, students can easily work, but remember it doesn't have to be a technical role. I would still suggest looking for Russell Group universities because of better technical role part time jobs.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): I believe the engagement with faculty could be better, especially for technical paper publications. I found that unless it's an industry-sponsored project, faculty would not go out of their comfort zone for students' development. Lab-based work by technical faculty is the most supportive.

Cranfield university: insights from an UK based student
Tips: As I am already based in the UK, I transitioned quite smoothly with regard to culture. I obtained a merit scholarship due to my high undergraduate grade, and that was a £2000 deduction from my overall course fees. Overall, very satisfied with the university and the course.
Likes (Student Life): Although the college is in a rural area, everything on campus feels relatively close together, so you will likely build familiarity with a lot of people, and that enhances your student life as you feel you are part of a tight knit community. There are student societies for different interests and cultures, e.g., Indian society, etc.
Dislikes (Part time work): There is not a huge array of shops on campus, so part-time work opportunities on campus are limited. Most part-time job opportunities are found in the neighbouring cities of Bedford and Milton Keynes, which are both a 10-15 minute drive away from the main campus.

Cranfield: Silently producing achievers
Tips: This is a postgrad only university, and not very happening like other unis. If you want a peaceful life and are only into studying, then you will really enjoy the time. You will be surrounded only by like-minded, mature people. There were no exams in my course, and everything was hands-on and research-oriented. One thing to keep in mind more recently is that Cranfield will be becoming part of King's College London if the merger is successful by August 2027.
Likes (Safety): There is nothing going on on the campus. It is almost always vacant and empty. Heard of foxes are more dangerous than humans there. Adequate security is provided in the library and accommodation, too. So you can have long walks on campus without worrying too much.
Dislikes (Part time work): Cranfield is located in the middle of nowhere. There are no shops or bars to do part-time jobs. Very few people who live in Milton Keynes or Bedford can get a job, but those cities are far from campus. So, you have to prioritise campus convenience or part-time work.

t's a technical university that's located in a quiet, isolated place surrounded by nice people.
Tips: Sometimes it may be frustrating with the transportation, but usually it's not an issue. People are mostly friendly and the place is nice and quiet considering it's in an isolated place. Milton Keynes is not far, so it's all good. Good, recommended for a technical university.
Likes (Safety): Cranfield University is a safe place because the university has an airport within its borders. Cars are not allowed to enter the university unless they go through the airport security checkpoint. Also, university housing is safe.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Transportation services at this university are not very good. There are no trains on campus; only buses and Uber are available. This can pose a problem when buses are cancelled or postponed. If we have something important to do, we often have to take an Uber.

A college filled with surprises.
Tips: I'm really happy with the support and help I've received from the faculty. There are lots of activities happening on campus so make sure to take advantage of them. But before you come make sure you're prepared for the weather conditions and potential cold wind by bringing all the necessary stationery and essential medications. Also please bring at least 50 pounds in cash to help you until you have set up your UK account.
