7th stop - University of Birmingham
The University of Birmingham was the location of the first of three university visits on the final day of our tour. We approached watching uber fit and super keen students on an early morning jog which took us back to our Loughborough days!
Another really positive meeting with both the careers and the computer science and engineering department was followed by a run to the car to shoot to Derby and then up the M1 to get to Sheffield in time for our next two university meetings, however in our brief visit, the RateMyPlacement rating on the University of Birmingham:
- Weather – 9 / 10 – a delightful spring morning
- Grounds – 7 / 10 – the green campus we saw was marred by the scaffolding we parked next to!
- Beer – 7 / 10 – Joe’s bar was shut at 10am but we called this week it is £1.20 / pint, a great price.
- Bird Watching – 6 / 10 – the early bird doesn’t always catch the worm.
- The pot noodle test – 6 / 10 – 80p for 1 with no offer for 2!?
- University of Birmingham Grand Total = 35 / 50.
