Being at RAU is a great experience! I love that it is in a rural setting as this works perfectly for my Agriculture course, we are surrounded by farms making field trips easy a breeze. The staff compliment is absolutely friendly, polite, and eager to help, which makes a world of difference. The campus is a 15 minute walk to town and that's a plus as I do not own a vehicle. Coming from a different continent, however, I am yet to get used to the food!

My course is a taught Masters, we have blended learning whereby we do our pre and post lecture studies online and then the in-class seminars/lectures. Lecturers are available on campus when you need them, and we are given adequate notification of their schedules.

I love that the University is small so all the amenities are easily accessible to students living in the halls of residence. As I am a catered student, my room is well equipped with an en-suite, comfortable bed, work station, heater, kettle, and a good speed WIFI. It would be great though, to have a microwave available in the residence for students on catered accommodation.

Campus is beautiful

Blended learning super practical

Bad public transport for Cirencester and Kemble station
