It is such a great place to study, there is so much support and help to get through these years!

The class is taught fairly well and is done with care. All the lectures genuinely care about the students and that they do well.

The kitchen could be slightly bigger but it works for what we need it for.

The facilities and opportunities both on campus and in the surrounding area are second to none. Gloucester itself does not have a lot going on for students, although this is not at the fault of the university. The only thing I'd like to see more of are student events- maybe more opportunities for riders who were unable to bring their horses to university with them?

The chance to work on campus at the equine therapy centre is world class and definitely worth doing. Considering how much we pay, only having 6-8 contact hours a week is not really worthwhile, and I sometimes feel what we learn in lectures is repeated too much between modules and not useful for upcoming assessments

Unfortunately, Gloucester cannot be described as a very safe place to live, although as anywhere has good and bad parts (Gloucester Quays are definitely a highlight). This is definitely not the case on the campus itself- I can safely say I never felt unsafe there. There are plenty of opportunities to find part-time work on campus and in town. Public transport is good around town with frequent enough buses onto campus.

As a plus block, it was really useful having a washing machine in the kitchen, especially considering the number of practical sports going on (e.g. rugby, equestrian, football, even yard work and gym). The rooms feel a bit outdated (especially the bathrooms) but had enough space and storage (the mini fridge in each room was also a bonus). A TV and sofas in the kitchen made a great social area which was especially nice during COVID where we spent a lot of time stuck in our blocks.
