University of Gloucestershire opinions

Are you going to the Oxford Brookes open day tomorrow?

Gloucesterhsire is my first choice university, I am going in Sept 2012 to do Business Management. The Park campus seems to be nice (even in the rain ). I would advise you to go to a university where you feel comfortable in going but also has a good reputation too. UoG for me has both of these things that I was looking for. Hope your search goes well for you!

I did actually go in the end although did get there a little late, I thought it was okay but quite basic i suppose What did you think about it?

What campus were you at? Teaching was at the Harcourt Hill Campus so I only saw that- first impressions were good, nice campus, brand new accommodation very nice I know what you mean about basic, but the course for me seemed really well laid out. Kinda scared though, 1000 people apply for Primary Teaching and only 90 places are available! :O

I was at the headington one on gypsy lane, i was quite disapointed but maybe because i didnt get the full experience as i was late ? I really didnt like the fact you have to bus to campus/town either :P

I didn't go to headington as there was no real need! Maybe I guess, I know it certianly got a lot quieter as the day went on Really? I wasn't that fussed, maybe because I have to catch buses regularly now, it just doesn't bother me!

Yea thats true, I get buses about 4 times a day atm and I hate it so much I really want a full on campus uni Are you going to the 16th June gloucestershire open day?

Really? I didn't think there were that many Uni's that were on one full campus Yup I am! Hopefully it'll be nice weather

Wow! that was really useful thanks! Im going to the open day on the 16th so should get more of a feel for it but its nice to know others opinions of living there

It was really nice! Small I guess and not that much on the campus but a really friendly atmosphere

Francis Hall

Same as me! Was soooo pretty and unique I thought I thought the halls were nice too- rooms seemed pretty big aswell- compared to the Westminster ones too at Oxford Brookes :/

Yea definitely, do you know how competitive it is to get in? I have no idea seems a nice place to study - not sure about the nightlife though ?

I'm not too sure, I know for my course there is 800 applicants for 120 places, so quite competitive I believe That's true, it won't be as student orientated as OB and they don't give you a totally free bus pass like OB do, the pass they give you only subsides them :/

What else to say?! Other little events that I do with friends is the Haunted Hayride at Over Farm Market in Gloucester! REALLY good fun at Halloween! Pretty scary though! haha!

Ah yes, bringing back the memories.

OP - I can't really comment on the university itself but regarding Cheltenham there's not much else to say what that dude hasn't covered, it has all your basic needs really. I'm not a massive fan of it personally but that's probably down to me just being tired of it. All of my friends who do go to the University of Gloucestershire absolutely love it, though. That is all I have to say.

Ouch thats very competitive! Where did you find out that I could see anything like it for history on their website

From the student ambassadors OB is more competitive though- 1000 apply for 90 places Which course are you interested in anyway?
