Buckingham Chilterns University College in general

Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College, now called Bucks New University, was the Uni I attended and obtained my Degree. I felt that this Uni was for me as it was not a big posh building like some of the others I had seen, and actually felt more like my 6th form college rather than a scary University. I felt that the lecturers I had at Uni played a big part in the way in which I learned. If my lecturer put in the time and effort into lectures, then it made me feel more inclined to study and learn more about the subjects I was being taught. Many parts of Bucks New University have now been re-built, so that a better learning environment can be ...  Read the complete review

If your thinking of going to university, dont chose this one. I stayed at the Chalfont Campus, which is slap bang in the middle...of no where. Meaning if you need to go shopping, or anywhere for that matter, you either need to drive, befriend someone who drives, steal a car, or really on the dodgy campus bus service, which stops at 8pm. Taxi's are ok but they cost a fortune. the nearest city to go out in (thats any good) is Watford, and the train station is about 6 miles away. On campus you should make sure u stay in St.Giles and not St.Peters. St.Giles are the newer buildings some have en suite rooms and they are all funky and modern and clean. St.Peters ...  Read the complete review

Newlands is the best campus out of the three with to bars and a club on site, but the other two are well worth a look at. Has all u need on site Gym, swimming pool three footy pitch's and places to eat, Just has a good feeling around the place and is now in the top 16 uni's for Business art and law. The BCUC student support is also very good so if u eva have any problems, which u also do, they will be sorted out very fast. eg swopping rooms. ...  Read the complete review

The place isn't so bad, although it is far from good. The main campus isn't too bad- the union is open every night, although it can cost up to £3 to get into. I'm at the Wellesbourne campus, which is a mission to get to if you don't have a car, which you are unlikely to have if you live in halls as you can get chucked out for having one there. Wellesbourne is quite a bit away from the halls up a big hill, so you have to get the bus, which isn't too bad in the mornings, but during the day it has a habit of being late or not showing at all. The halls aren't too bad, so long as you're at Brook Street-anyone who stays at John North is ...  Read the complete review

This university college is quite literally rotten to the core. The teaching standards are poor. Pastoral care is non-existant. Lecturers and seminar teachers do not care about their students and it felt like I was back at school when one teacher ran out in tears declaring how much she hated us! The Students Union bar is so filthy that you don't even have to have more than two drinks to feel ill! The lines for the cider and lager have not been cleaned in four years, since the bar was refurbished. Despite what the brochures advertise, local student accommodation is a health hazard. In my first year, four of us students shared a house approved by the college. ...  Read the complete review
