Best. The location and people Worst. Lectures aren’t recorded anymore to refer back to work
Despite starting uni during covid times I have had an amazing time make loads of friends and had amazing memory’s. There is hard times during uni but there is always someone to support u and just listen
Big emphasis on employability
It’s an excellent university in terms of the support and opportunities; I feel like I can reach my greatest version of myself through these aspects. It is in a more rural location which cannot be helped, however I feel like certain facilities like the library could be improved as it is often quite packed and there isn’t always places to sit.
Really hands on teaching. Possibly the lecturers could be a bit less busy so they’re easier to meet up with, but it’s nice to be in such a close knit environmenr

I love the location and campus and the community aspect of the uni. The teaching is great and I feel at home there.
I think the students are what make Harper. The Students union need to do a lot of work to improve and work with the students as sometimes it feels like they work against us.
The support I have received from the teaching staff and wellbeing team has greatly improved since my first year at university.
It's amazing that it's in the country so it's really quiet and scenic compared to a city uni but it does mean it's quite out of the way.

Like minded people from an agricultural background and a great social side! They're losing their roots a bit and drifting away from agriculture, they need to bring some more attention back to their agricultural students that feel like they're being forgotten about
Reduce price of FLOCK tickets to make it more affordable
Good thanks
The location isn’t the best as it’s very out of the way, and getting there can be difficult unless you have a car. The SU is a great night out, but can be quite expensive for a normal student
Harper Adams University is a good place to study Because everyone is so friendly and nice, even the lectures
The uni provide good support for academic work, and a good work/social balance. The library being open 24/7 is a massive bonus for final years too
the balls always are a great success!!
Very Good is the access to the library 24/7. I have found some modules to be poor in terms of assessment and what I gain from them. For example the Skills Module in 1st year.
HAU is a small univeristy, but it has a strong community and offer multiple practical sessions. Student Union organises multiple trips and there Wednesday nights for anybody who wants to party. I only wish that there were more Barn Dances nights.

Great facilities for my course including the companion animal house filled off all sorts of different animals which you are able to learn about. Great practicals which link the material we learn about in lectures, really helps solidify knowledge. Also, the farm is a really unique facility that helps me gain experience I would never have had before.
Taught fully in person, with a good mix of practicals,tutorials and lectures throughout the week.
Harris is catered en suite but with it being the most expensive on campus it isn’t worth its money. Food is convenient but not the best. Rooms are dated but if decorated can be cosy. There’s no proper kitchen just the basics which is sometimes difficult on weekends when you aren’t catered for.
