Ch2-2 At the University.

The University of Brichester’s main campus is approximately a fifteen minute walk from the city centre. Home to around
9,000 students, Brichester University enjoys a sound academic reputation, but is often accused of elitism in its admissions policy. Nearly half of Brichester University students come from a public or private school background, and there is a long-standing joke
that Brichester takes on a disproportionate number of Oxbridge rejects with a chip on their shoulder.
Its most prominent landmark – and probably the Brichester skyline’s most recognisable feature – is the twelve-storey ‘White
Tower’ that stands in University Square – a cringe-worthy monument to Sixties aesthetics that is home to the University’s
business studies & economics schools. The school of European Studies is housed to the rear of the much older red brick 'Main' building built in the early 1880’s
