University of Buckingham-Review

University of Buckingham.

 Description of the university- step by step.

 This is my first year in University of Buckingham and I really enjoy this time. Some people already asked me several questions about the uni, so I desided to write all the stuff in details, especially if to take into account that the oficial website of university is not enough.
 I started my first winter term in University of Buckingham in January 2012. My course is Journalism with Communications. I found this uni through my educational agent in Kazakhstan. And there are 3 main reasons why I decided to enter in Buckingham. First reason is that this uni offers a wide range of courses related to Journalism. I considered many different universities and Buckingham was one of the few, which offers an impressive quantity of unusual combination of courses, for example: Marketing with psychology or Journalism with marketing and etc The second important reason is that Buckingham is the only one governmental university in UK where you can get a degree for 2 years. Sounds tempting. doesn't it? Why lose a year,if you can get degree earlier and spend a year for traveling or for obtaining a Master degree. And the 3 reason is that University of Buckingham is located in a neat, small, quiet and friendly Buckingham town,that is 82 km from London and Birmingham (it is only 30 mins on Virgin train to get to London), and that is only 29 km from Northampton. Also Oxford is very close to Buckingham,so you can get a taxi to there,which costs maximum 40 pounds. Moreover the famous and popular Bicester village is incredibly close. You can get there by taxi and it costs around 20 pounds.

My timetable is comfortable, so I have a great opportunity to go somewhere once a week,cause everything is close and I have enough time to do my homework. People here are really nice and friendly. It is a small town,so you definitely will make enough friends in a short period of time. On weekends we I usually go to London or Bicester village, also I have friends in Northampton and Oxford so I can visit them quiet often. Oh,forgot to mention that here is no railway station, but fortunately we have Milton Keynes,it is a town which considers as a new business center of London. You can get there in 20 mins for 15 pounds by taxi or there is a bus which can safely get u there only for 5 pounds. Also there is a big shopping center,cinema,restaurants, clubs and other entertainments.

Hope I was able to interest you and if not so read on.

With regard to teaching, I can say that here is a great teaching staff. Every teacher knows his subject well and has own method of teaching, every teacher is different by the way he teaches and finds approach to students. Some teachers are very strict and some are not very,but all the teachers are take their subject and teaching seriously,and approach to their work with all the passion. You can not to worry and be sure. All the lectures you can find in your university account and revise them at any time, especially if u get ill you can always know what teacher told in class.
There are different buildings for different schools,for example I study journalism and all my subjects are in Chandos building which is 3 mins from my accommodation. My suggestion for all new students to live first year necessarily on campus, because it helps you faster use to university life and make your life easier in terms of  that everything is close and you won't have problems with attendance.

What about food? Well, I'm the person who don't cook, because I don't want to waste my valuable student time on the adventures of food and washing dishes. That is why I think I'm the right one who can give you a full list of places where to it. Well, first place for all the students is Tanlow meal, it is a student canteen which works since Monday to Friday from 9am to 4 pm. Another place where you can eat a very good english poridge and some fresh croissant and drink a real English tea is place which calls Bartlettes and is in the center of town, also you can try there jam, they make it themselves. If you wanna something spicy you can go to Chinese restaurant on Moreton road or order delivery to your house. In order to quick snack you can visit Subway or Golden Crust. And to pamper yourself you can go to Italian restaurant Prezzo which is also in town center.

I'm done on this. Hope you found this information useful! xoxoxo
