RAU Students 'dripping in cash'??

I've had an offer from, and would quite like to go to the Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester, however a friend's dad (who went there) told me that everyone there is 'dripping in cash' - rich farmers, heirs to estates and alike. This has completely put me off, as I don't want to spend 3 years feeling financially inferior to other students, my family isn't hard-up, but we aren't loaded either. Any opinions??

This is exactly the same as me! I have applied to Harper and Royal Agricultural University. Really liked both but people have also told me that everyone is 'dripping in cash' at RAU and that has put me off as like you said I don't want to spend 3 years feeling financially inferior to others, my family isn't hard-up, but we aren't loaded either!

What course have you applied for?

I applied for Equine and Agricultural Management, although I'm seriously considering a gap year then reapplying for agric at Ciren and Harper, so confused about what I want to do right now!? How about you?

I'm studying at RAU at the moment. Most of us really aren't the red trouser wearing, land rover drivers but to be honest they are mostly pretty normal too. We're not stupid either, I'm a straight A/A* student and really hate the 'thick' preconception - it is the Oxbridge of the rural world after all. The mix of people has changed massively over the years so be broad minded...you will definitely find similar characters to you there.
