The University of Gloucestershire offers a comprehensive range of facilities and a vibrant student life across its three campuses: The Park and Francis Close Hall in Cheltenham, and Oxstalls in Gloucester. Situated in the picturesque surroundings of Cheltenham and Gloucester, students have the opportunity to explore the beautiful Cotswolds, attend world-famous festivals, and enjoy diverse shopping and dining experiences. The area offers a rich mix of music, sports, and entertainment venues, contributing to a vibrant student life. The Francis Close Hall and Oxstalls campus libraries provide 24/7 access to extensive collections, IT resources, wireless printing, and photocopying services. Across the university, students have access to over 500 computers, free Wi-Fi, and loanable laptops. Media equipment, including camcorders and dictaphones, is also available, with digital editing software installed on all library PCs. The university boasts a variety of specialist facilities tailored to different disciplines. For instance, the Oxstalls campus houses the Business School and Growth Hub, featuring a live trading room, innovative teaching spaces, and a moot court room. Additionally, the campus offers an international-standard sports arena, 3G pitches, and a cricket pavilion and pitch. The University of Gloucestershire fosters a diverse student community where individuals from various backgrounds learn together while embracing university life. The Chapel at Francis Close Hall offers a tranquil space for reflection, providing mental and emotional support for students seeking peace amidst their academic journey. This inclusive environment enhances student well-being, encouraging a sense of belonging and personal growth. A potential area for improvement would be the provision of short-term university accommodation for students in need, particularly at the postgraduate level. Given the unique challenges faced by these students—such as research commitments, placements, or unforeseen personal circumstances—offering flexible housing options would greatly enhance their academic experience and overall well-being. This initiative would reflect the university's commitment to student support, ensuring that all scholars have access to a stable and conducive living environment during critical phases of their studies.

I am very happy my college and I had spent nearly 3 years at here. only one thing was terrible experience this is the career department as English is my second language, the career adviser just tell me I was talking rubbish treat me so rude. After that I know she was the manager,what I can do?

The lecturers are really approachable and want you to succeed. It feels really inclusive and diversity is appreciated. Being so close to Manchester there's lots going on and good transport links. The only real criticism I have is the use of online lectures, how ever much they try, they aren't as condusive to learning as in person lectures are especially if you have difficulties with concentration. I understand that universities are trying to find ways to cut costs but I feel that this detracts from the whole student experience both academically and socially.

Best aspect is being so close to the city centre of Manchester. Worst aspect is there being no mixed accomodation to allow an easy way to chat to new people. Most people just sit in their rooms on their own

Loved all of my time at college. Meeting the new students and spending time communicating with them through the college. Obviously interaction is limited due to online classes from lockdown but still had a good amount of contact with student to make a couple friends. Teachers have dealt with the online classes very well and still made college enjoyable and informative.

It was a great opportunity for me to study at David Game College and to learn more about the world of Photography. DGHE helped me not only to develop a lot of new skills and knowledge but also helped me to grow as a person. These two years gave me all that I needed to approach my goals and become more confident. I would like to say a big Thank you to all lecturers and admin staff of David Game College for their support and hard work during these two years!
