Five stars. The best place on earth. Had a great time at the RAC. Met friends for life and had a brill 4 years. Great people great place great memories. Not the biggest place but the biggest characters
Brilliant uni with lovely people, beautiful location and so much fun and a lovely country life. Good facilities apart from no indoor netball court. Lack of parking is rather annoying which could be easily resolved
The rau is one of the best agricultural universities in the country, with good staff and a good curriculum. The SU know how to get you drunk and carry that out frequently which is great!!!
Amazing uni,the atmosphere is fantastic, great food, top class accommodation and the lectures are interesting and relevant. The facilities here are brilliant too, and cater for all abilities with sport and academia.
It really is a very poor institution. Lecturing is poor to non existent - the quality of the Business school is substandard and massive changes are required for any improvement to be made. It gets two stars for the people that attend.
This is the best uni ever!!! You could not get a better place, amazing place, amazing people and amazing courses!! The campus is really lovely, it's like one big family, you could not ask for a better place to study, make friends for life and have the time of your life!! Work hard, play harder
Amazing! Great members of staff who are always willing to help and like minded students who are great fun. University is in a great location with amazing members of staff who always look out for you and are around to help you whenever you need it no matter what it is about such as coursework, exams, health etc.
Was great, until they changed the name. The oldest Agricultural College in the western world and they decide to change the bloody name. Still the best Ag College though, and don't worry if you don't get in you can always go to Harper or Reading. they're both full or Ciren rejects.


I had a fantastic three years hear, loved every minute of it. Course content was good, varied and prepares you well for a career in the agricultural sector. Cirencester itself is a small place with one club, and so social life was compact and unique. I wouldn't recommend the RAU if you're up for partying in a different club every night. Good variety of student clubs. On campus accommodation was good, and off campus accommodation is varied, and can be expensive.
