Is crescent hall that bad?

My sister (international student, MsC sustainable architecture) is searching for an accommodation. She is very much on a budget and want the least expensive option possible.

134 £ seems like a great deal. But I have read some negatives comments on this sub.

Questions:

  1. Is it that unlivable?

  2. Is living on campus much cheaper than sharing a 1 bedroom apartment with her partner~30 mins to 1 hour away?

  3. ANY ADVICE OR TIP would be very grateful

Confusion on what campus I am supposed to be at?

I got my offer like a week ago. I just noticed it says (sandwich) Oxford Brookes (Oxford campus). Does this mean my course takes place at different campuses or am I crazy and there is only one campus?

Oxford Brookes Uni students queuing for housing

Hi there! I'm a writer for The Tab, a news site for UK uni students. I'm writing an article about the really long queues this week for Brookes students to get houses for next year. I was wondering if anyone here had seen this and had any opinions or photos about this? It would be really helpful. Thanks! : )

MSc in Global Event Management Program

How is the MSc in Global Event Management Program? What are the career opportunities in the event management field? Does the UNI provide placement support and internship support? Is it worth it for an international student to enter OBU for this program?

Looking for short film cast/crew members!

Hi! I'm currently a student studying here at Oxford Brookes, and am looking for cast/crew members to volunteer in my short film! The screenplay is dear to my heart, and I really need some help bringing this story to life! This film will be submitted in some film festivals in oxford and perhaps internationally. You don't need to be a student to get involved :)

Reply to this thread with any questions, or send me a private message!

Advice?

So I'm a 16 year old who's planning to do ACCA while in his Alevels. Firstly, I wanted to ask if that would be feasible or it would just increase my workload to an extent I would not be able to cope with. Secondly, OBU offers an honorary degree if your completed certain papers of ACCA. On their site, they said it would be until 2026. I wanted to ask whether this is the last date for it to be possible or will they extend/renew it.

Thanks for reading this!

Escooter or normal bike?

Price is not an issue (preferable under 300)

I'm an architecture major, but I leave most of my equipment in the studio so I don't realy bring them with me.

My concern is storage and ease of use, while I think escooter is a lot easier yo ride here, I don't really trust that i can keep it from being stolen.

Any suggestions?

Student visa in TLS spain

I am applying for student visa from TLS in spaip.
But they have this on there main website page "⚠ Please be kindly informed that Barcelona is a Premium location and all applicants are charged a Premium Location fee of EUR 300.00. You may find more information about NEW 'PREMIUM' SERVICES FOR VISA APPLICANTS IN SPAIN at the following link."

So does this mean that even if i don't want the Premium services i will be forced to have it and pay 300 euro?
because they said ALL APLICANTS ARE CHARGED..

Try Quadball this Saturday with Oxford Universities Quadball Club!

Join us to try playing Quadball this Saturday at our taster session in South Parks - we are a friendly and supportive team who play Quadball (formerly Quidditch) which is a super fun, new, gender-inclusive sport. 

One of the great things about Quadball is that it caters to different levels of commitment and competitiveness! Just looking to stay active or try something new? No worries! Our training sessions and university-level tournaments provide a fun environment where you can enjoy the sport without stressing about results. Are you competitive and aiming for the top level? We have a highly experienced community league, European tournaments, and National Team tournaments, including a World Cup!

Quadball is the ideal sport to start at uni - it’s unique, exciting and no one has tried anything like it before! It’s a mixed gender, full contact sport that incorporates elements of handball, dodgeball and rugby. We are inclusive of whatever your abilities and would definitely love to have you on our team.

We train twice a week and have super fun, weekly socials where we do team bonding activities such as laser tag, Mario kart tournaments and scavenger hunts. We also compete in regional and national tournaments each term where we compete against other university teams across the country. This year OUQC came 5th nationally! 

We hope to meet some of you at the Freshers Fair tomorrow or at one of our taster sessions in South Parks!

Saturday 21st September, 2 pm, South Parks

Wednesday 24th September, 2 pm, South Parks

(There’ll be free pizza at every taster session, courtesy of The White Rabbit pizza pub!)

For more information see our instagram "oxuniquadball" or our website ouqc.co.uk

Alternatively, here's a highlight reel of the latest British Quadball Cup to see what we've been upto in tournaments - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reMuNRbqXqw and a video of international quadball you could get involved with! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAwKE7YzCGM
