Birmingham Metropolitan College

Really great. Loads of interesting mixers. It was nice to make friends and see some familiar faces It's ok. I don't live on campus but I have heard some good and bad stories from it. Communication is good there though so they fix anything if it's brokenZ Really good. Lots of interesting and diverse books. I would like to see more books by black authors. Engaging and interestingly the lectures go out of their way to include different topics and resources into the mayerial I like it. Being from the country it's a change but definitely one I am loving

Freshers week was amazing got to meet new friends I live in my own home. I did not need to use the accommodation. The facilities are amazing. There is a starbucks on site The teachers are supportive. They are always there to help. It is busy. However it is fun and there is an amazing social life involved.

It was good it was a little scary am doing overwhelming at first. I don’t use the accommodation so I wouldn’t t know. The facility that I work in isn’t amazing. The library’s are good very quiet and neat. The one to one talks, and there was a lot of support not just with the work but also emotionally. It was always busy New things everyday loads of events, different people and a wide range of food and clothes. Keep on task, have a schedule and plan ahead

Very different from college level, big step up in independance and hard work that you have to fulfill which is humbling but sternuous, coming with the benefit that i will achieve greatly if hard work is applied.

It was very good. I enjoyed the week.. It is very clean and had adequate space. Very clean and spacious. The lectures were invested in their classes and care about how the students are doing. It’s nice, a lot to do when I have free time. Work hard there’s a lot to remember but it is a great course

This is a fantastic course suitable for all those who want uni entrance into a nursing or a medical degree of some kind. It is so interesting, you get the best support from the teachers. I have found the students and teachers supportive. I can honestly say I love the course and it is the best decision I have every made!! I look forward to continuing my education with them!

I don't live on campus, but my friends do and they said it is ok just on the small side. I don't get involved with the Student Union because I honestly don't know what they do... I don't think they even know what they do.

Matthew Boulton College has a good variety of courses available for participation. They also have great facilities for each student to use during their course, as well as during leisure time. Some examples include art studios and equipment for art students, a photography studio, a fully functioning darkroom, and a full range of photography equipment (cameras, film cameras, lenses, lights, soft boxes, reflectors, etc.) for photography students.

They are very inclusive and accepting, and they also host culture days for those who wish to take part.

The only downside is the location of the college. Being in the middle of Birmingham, it’s always very busy, and it is situated next to three other areas of education: Aston, BCU, and BOA.

Some of the staff at Matthew Boulton sometimes seem unbothered, and in a way “miserable.” This can be understandable, as jobs can be stressful, but some of them can even be a bit rude at times.

Overall, Matthew Boulton has its positives and negatives, just like many other colleges and universities. I would recommend it to those who are near enough and interested in a course that I know is offered at MB, but I would also suggest some other colleges that I know of or have been to, which I really liked, including my past college, Halesowen College.

If your an adult learner and you drive into college and need somewhere to park, you may as well forget about it. Classes don't start till 10am but parking signs 'staff only' get put up a 9am and the security staff are very rude and treat you like a 16 year! This is so frustrating and patronising.

I am gutted i enrolled here. The only good things about the college is the starbucks and the curly fries.
