A transformative academic and cultural journey.
Tips: Before joining this college, students should be prepared for an academically rigorous yet rewarding experience. Time management is key here, as balancing coursework with extracurricular activities can be challenging but also very fulfilling. The university provides strong academic support and an inclusive environment, so students should make the most of the available resources and not hesitate to ask for help when needed.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Student life here is vibrant, inclusive, and full of opportunities for personal growth. The university fosters a great balance between academics and extracurricular activities, and the atmosphere on campus is always lively and engaging. There's something for everyone, from cultural fests to sports tournaments and workshops.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is highly experienced, supportive, and genuinely invested in student success. They not only have strong academic backgrounds but also bring industry-relevant insights into their teaching. Their guidance has helped me understand complex topics with clarity and depth.

Not satisfied with the course and faculty.
Tips: Cultural shift was actually a productive thing for me.
You will get to see different lifestyles, different views of living different cultural views. No scholarships were given and I am not satisfied with the course and university.
Country is okay, you will get the abroad vibes
Likes (Indian Food): You get a variety of food options.
Pricing is okay, depends on what food you want or what restaurant. Lots of Indian restaurants. Lots of Indian grocery shops around. So no struggle to get home food. I prefer to cook. For me, home food is always the best food.
Dislikes (Value for money): The college is not value for money because you expect that you will get to learn about some specific things and you get to see something else.
Very few or no practical lessons.
Guidance from the professor is very poor. They really don't try to help. They will give you time and you need to get your problem sorted within that minimum time, it does not matter if it's solved or not.

Safety is a concern here.
Tips: Be well prepared for the level of assignments and the stress related to them. Every student gets a scholarship for the course. The best option is to go for the placement/internship offered. The city is more silent than other major cities and has barely or no nightlife and hence reduces the opportunities for nighttime jobs. Job opportunities depend on the seasons heavily.
Likes (Public transportation): Campus is in the heart of the city, with excellent connectivity to different parts of the city too. There are bus services, metro services, trains, and cab/taxi services that students can avail of at discounted rates and passes would also be available for frequent travellers.
Dislikes (Safety): Crime rates are extremely high, no safety while walking alone on roads. University encourages students to use safety apps to always share location and details with trusted people so that students can remain safe. Daily news about crimes and incidents around the city creates a bad atmosphere too.

University College Birmingham is fun place with lots of extracurriculars and events.
Tips: The college has a diverse culture, which can be a bit difficult to adopt but is not impossible. It takes time to learn their culture, language, and food habits, but eventually, you will get it. I was happy to receive a 1000-pound scholarship from the university, and I am glad to be studying at UCB because it is the only college in the UK that offers my course of study.
Likes (Student Life): Student life at University College Birmingham is a lot of fun. The campus is next to everything you need, from nightlife to daytime activities. There are cultural events happening every month, which is a great way to promote unity and diversity among the students.
Dislikes (Part time work): On campus, it is very difficult to get a part-time job because the university prioritizes UK-based students who have UK experience. However, it is easy to manage a part-time job during university hours because most places only offer 20 hours of work per week and the work is very flexible. The average pay is 11.20 per hour.
