Hartpury University

As a parent and disabled student, life has it's challenges. Hartpury have exceptional support in place for students. I wouldn't have been able to continue without this support. The university itself is beautiful. Staff go above and beyond to share their knowledge and experiences with students. My only negative is the university shares it's campus with the college. The canteen is overwhelmed by college students and queuing for food takes too long between lectures, especially when you're forever being thrown further back by gangs on college students pushing in line. For this reason I avoid the area and won't buy food from the restaurant. Also, the food portions are disappointing and prices are not affordable. Lastly, wherever there are huge gatherings of the college students, a lot of rubbish accumulates on the sofas, floor and toilets. It's quite disappointing to see and to have to wade through. The new building for university students, that was promised in 2023, has yet to be completed. So university students are quite displaced and scattered across the campus. I believe to improve, the university needs a dedicated restaurant for it's university students and get that building finished! Plus if you're in lectures all day and have only 10 minutes break to grab a refreshment, ideally, all the buildings should have either a cold or hot drinks vending machine. Otherwise it's quite a trek to get a drink, and if there's a qué, you're late to return to your lecture.

The staff are really nice and helpful; the academic support is wonderful; the university ambience is great. Upkeep of bathrooms is an improvement we’d love.

The facilities are great but it can be hard to access campus during flood months. College kids are also not always well behaved and messy, half terms for the college are the best as they aren't an issue.

The lessons themselves are engaging and fun to take part in Make the college students actually clean up after themselves

I've currently enjoyed my time studying at Hartpury, it's a welcoming place with plenty of hardworking and polite students. Student life is great, meeting others is great.
