Sort:Latest reviewsFacilities are dated, with accommodation being very run down. Library has had a roof leak for nearly a year. Lecturers teach outdated information. Need a car to get to lectures but often is a lack of parking. Very little time spent with lecturers in small groups. SU does not represent the students and the price of events and drinks compared to that of other unions is disgraceful.
Good place to study everything is close to wherever you want to go. Student life is good i’ve made some very good friends. The uni location is good and bad in some ways as it’s in kind of the middle of nowhere but I like that it’s just the shops are quite far.
I love studying at harper because it is a remote university, the nearby town is lovely and I get a lot of student support from the university. The one thing that could be improved on is some facilities and buildings
Best aspect is studying with such a small group of people means everyone is white close knit. Lecturers get to know you a bit better. Campus is in a pretty, rural location. Worst aspects Expenses from SU and from the library cafe you basically can't get a coffee or go to an SU night without breaking the bank.
A lot of support academically. Not much cooperation between the SU and academic side.
Worst: - Not having a car here would suck as the campus shop is a campus shop, not a supermarket. - If you don't drink and aren't from an agricultural background, it's hard to fit in, especially in clubs. - The varied timetable is unbelievably annoying and makes getting a steady part time job during the week almost impossible Best: - The facilities are amazing - The on campus accomodations for 1st years are 10x better than any I've seen in other universities - The university is VERY proactive in resolving technology issues
The best aspect of studying at Harper Adams is the library facilities which are very well maintained and comfortable to study in. The lecturers are very educated and I learn a considerable amount from each lecture. The university experience could be improved by including more on farm practical work into the course so the students are putting what they learn in the classroom into good practice.
I really enjoy being out in the countryside but with the option to go out to surrounding towns such as Newport and Telford. Everything is within walking distance on campus and it’s very easy to get around. The staff at the uni are all very supportive and easy to talk to whenever you have a problem. More events could be put on during the weekends for those who stay on campus and don’t go home.
Great social life
It is amazing being in the countryside and has such an inclusive community, with a great range of activities and opportunities being offered. The student union is good with the weekly night out and other events that they hold.
The area makes it a good university It could be improved by more 1 on 1 support from the course leaders More social events that doesn't cost alot More attention to the accomodation buildings
Good community, definitely nice to be amongst peers. Good support especially for academic guidance and learner support. Good facilities one of the main attractions of the university was its practical approach and the 3rd year placement although hearing some mixed reviews off students. Everyone was better for gaining the practical experience, and so many of my peers flourished and push themselves during this period gaining new skills they could utilize for their final year.
Best is the uni life and atmosphere at the university
Best: great range of practical experience for individual courses Improve: student union needs to listen to students and be more involved in what would help harper
It is a great university with a beautiful campus that is truly lovely to both live and walk around. There are plenty of student social opportunities, however, the surrounding area is rather quiet.

Great course, Awesome Clubs (Motorsport!)
The community has allowed me to meet some amazing people and make friends I'll know for life as well as contacts in the industry I'm hoping to have a career on. The rural location is a double edged sword as although you have to travel to get anywhere it's also nice to have a campus separate from a town or city.
The environment and the atmosphere is brill, everyone knows everyone. Lecturers don’t turn up or tell you when you are already in
Harper is a smaller uni which makes it a more personal feel being here. They listen to feedback and do improve for the next year. They look after student very well during the day with mental health and also on su nights making sure everyone is safe.
