I really did not see the point of closing the thread and then saying that we could open another one if we wanted to continue our discussion? I do not think it is fair to prevent people from responding to the posts that were made. At least give the chance for people to respond when they are being addressed, and allow them to explain themselves. It really feels like BPP have some hold over this website, as whenever there is criticism against them, the same people are always defending them. I really think that if you have not gone to BPP, you really cannot comment on the situation. I think that is what is causing a lot of the frustration. You really needed to sit the PGDL with them, especially this year, to really comprehend the gravity of the situation. I posted 24 headlines in the previous thread about the scandals BPP have been involved in the last 3 years, that really should say it all!
I am starting this thread (again) mainly to allow freedom of speech to continue, alongside not allowing BPP to win and have our opinions and views silenced. I appreciate things got a little heated in the previous thread between some members. However, I think it is counter-productive to lock a thread which prevents a person from responding. Moreover, it would be more productive to help a person see where they have gone wrong in their reasoning or in the way they expressed it, rather than to tell them off like a teacher, and then lock the thread which didn't seem like the best way to deal with the situation.
I also believe it was unfair "Max Power" failed to address the main issues that have been discussed in the previous thread, and only gave an account of his own experience which I do not believe is reflective of the wider cohort. I am glad you had such a great time, but at least address the points that have been raised. Nobody mentioned anything about a statute book? Why on earth would you need one for the PGDL exams anyway? You can just save the statutes you need on your laptop and use them in the exam. We were talking about study materials and textbooks which we were promised. I don't care if law firms are going paperless. I really think you have been drinking too much of the BPP cool aid.
As someone that got high distinctions in all the first term modules, BPP does not give you all the tools to get a distinction. I and others in my class had to work everything out for ourselves to succeed. This is further emphasised by the high amount of people that failed modules, which suggests BPP do not give you the tools to get a distinction. I also find it disappointing that you would assume we all have 2.1s. A lot of people have gone to the best universities and secured first class degrees, and still struggled.
In sum, I am glad you had such an amazing experience, whilst the majority did not. I wish you were more truthful and addressed some of the points we already mentioned, which would have made for a far more interesting and informative discussion.
