      For me, I think it'd be better to just change the name to Brookes University. Some of the best universities in the world are named after people (eg Harvard, Yale, Stanford) and nothing else. If they are good enough they don't need to worry people don''t know where they are or the brand isn't strong enough with just the person's name. In the UK, they don't do this however (Liverpool John Moores, Brunel University London, Edinburgh Napier and maybe others). I find this way of naming unnecessary.

    0:48 I agree, I'm also a student at Brookes and I like how modern and spacious Headington Campus really is! Oxford is a lovely city, great for nightlife too! And lots of nearby great places for day trips too if you're bored of the city 😀
    2:04 Both Atik and Plush are great nightclubs. Quite cheap, especially Plush! Bridge too is good, but only really late at night (about 1-2 in the morning), otherwise it's quite dead at 10 or 11 in the evening
    3:20 Alternatively, you can park at the Park & Ride sites and get the bus to city centre, saves all the hassle of driving in the city centre!
    3:40 Yep Oxford definetly is expensive. That said the halls of residences are actually not too bad, where I am currently (Parade Green) is about £170 per week which is not too bad at all! Which halls of residence did you stay at, btw, during your time in Brookes?
    5:35 Public transport is definitely amazing in Oxford. Frequent routes, connects all areas of the city, and the day ticket is not too bad either! (Only £4.50)

    This question might sound a bit strange but what are the people like there? Are there lots of different diverse groups?

      About getting a job: I think what matters a lot more for employers is the final result of your degree. If you achieve an upper second or first class, no one is going question which university you studied at, that’s what I’ve heard at least.
      What are you going to study? If anything related to biological sciences or architecture, I can difinitely recommend Brookes, but I don’t know anything about Cardiff.
