University of Gloucestershire

All small qualifications were gained in the first couple of weeks where it would've been nice to get settled in first before thinking about work A mix of on campus and off campus accommodation at different standards of living All facilities are well manned and still led for all needs The opportunity to contribute to the course and in lectures enabled understanding of subject to be much clearer Ease of access made it much more enjoyable when being in a city centre as not as much travelling is needed

I went to Brighton Uni for a year before Uni of Gloucestershire and Gloucestershire wins hands down. I was based on the Cheltenham Francis Close Halll campus and the accomodation in first year was great, the course was well taught and enjoyable and the people in Cheltenham are very friendly. The nightlife is great and there is always lots to do when you aren't studying. The campus is beautiful with lots of societies and clubs that you can join. I would highly recommend University of Gloucestershire, especially the Francis Close Hall campus.

I really enjoyed it! Made loads of friends! I really enjoyed my accommodation I ended up living with people from my building in the second year where we rented a house Lovely, library Is 247 and my studios opened at 8 and closed at 11 so it was perfect for me It's a wonderful course that's assisted me in making key decisions about my future. Staff are wonderful would even consider them friends It was fun! We have 2 wetherspoons and a bunch of clubs (also some very cute bars)

Banging, get too meet so many people and have so many experiences with course on nights out and in lectures It's really nice, they were brand new a year old and were really comfy So so good, there are so many places to do these things and I play for the rugby which is class, the community is so welcoming The interaction is amazing and it is more like a community with the lecturers Because it's a big town you have the sense of the city, and the country side

Freshers week was amazing, the best time I have ever had at university. They set up loads of events for freshers to attend and lots of ice breakers to get to know the other students. Lots of fun! The accommodation at UOG is really nice! I stayed in the newer part of the accommodation but it was really clean and spacious The library is one of my favourite places at the university! The building has newer and older parts with plenty of computers and resources. The staff are really helpful and friendly My course is really interesting, the lectures are amazing and staff are always willing to help you if you are struggling! My course doesn't have that many students on it but I like that as I have got to know everyone really well The nightlife in the city is minimal, there's only one nightclub that students tend to go to! However it means you're always going to know someone when you go out, which is quite comforting! It's also really fun as the night bus takes you directly to the nightclub from the student accommodation and runs till the early hours of the morning

All my lecturers have been very welcoming and encourage us to ask for any help we've needed with assignments/exams.
I also am part of the university netball club and play in the bucs leauge, the club was also very welcoming and made me feel comfortable.
I would encourage students to join a society as it helps you meet new people.

I'm enjoying my uni experience, even though the work is challenging, I'm trying to keep organised so I am on top of it. University is the best learning experience not just with my career path but also looking after myself and taking control of my own life.

We had freshers fortnight which was so fun. We had a lot of organised activities at the local clubs- a different one every night. We also had pub crawls to get to know the area. We could purchase tickets which allowed us into multiple events. I stayed in lovely accommodation. Spacious rooms with an en-suite shower room and shared kitchen. I met my absolute best friends in my halls and loved my time there ! The teaching section of the library is AMAZING! All kinds of resources you can use for placement and assignments. The seminar and lecture rooms are always well equipped and spacious. The lectures are very well planned and delivered with enthusiasm. The course is well presented and organised. Gloucestershire is a lively city and living in Cheltenham is a bit of a quieter experience. There are lovely parks and cafes as well as lots of brilliant bars and a few clubs.

Fun, lots of getting to know people on the course, in halls, at clubs and organised pub crawls. We had Freshers Fortnight so there was a good opportunity to settle in and take part in lots of activities. I lived in halls on campus which was decent, easy to get to lectures and met some good people. There's also more modern halls off campus that are popular but slightly more expensive. There's lots of student houses and usually students live nearby to other students. Libraries are 24hour so very accessible, student union used to have a coffees but has moved to self service. There's a bar on campuses but usually they're quite quiet, most people go out into town for drinks as it's near to uni. There's sports facilities in Gloucester and a gym at Pittville accommodation campus. Small course and very personal, every lecturer knows the students and you get to know your course mates early on. Lectures are a mixture of practical and academic (meaning some are in person and some are online atm) and you can choose modules that are closer to what you want to do in second and third year. I feel like I've had more support from lecturers than I've heard about from friends in other unis. Small so not lots of options for different clubs but that made nights out fun as you'd usually see people you know. One main club that people go to but lots of options for bars in Cheltenham if you'd prefer a bar or pub crawl. If you wanted a bit of change you could easily get a bus to Gloucester to spend an evening at the Quays.

Great! The lecturers were really welcoming and held lots of networking events to meet other students. The freshers activities and club nights were really well organised too. Cheap and cosy. The campus and flats are looked after really well and there's always someone on campus to provide help. Rooms are in good condition too. Well looked after, clean and tidy. Warm and welcoming, not too busy so they're all nice environments to be in. My class size is small so the lectures are always good and informative. Lecturers have lots of industry experience and are always on hand to give help, which they are more than willing to do. I've learnt so much and gained a lot of experience from being on my course Cheltenham is small but still a really great place to be. The high street has a lot of big brand as well as independent shops. The clubs and bars are fairly decent. I really like living here
