Student reviews on the What Uni website include:

“I love it at Harper Adams! It's a welcoming and friendly place which is comfortable to live in and most importantly the university is always looking at ways to improve in all aspects. It welcomes the students’ views and always gives us the chance to participate in all sorts. The academic side is also great as the lectures are informative and our lecturers are willing to help us to achieve our maximum potential” – Sarah, Veterinary Physiotherapy. 

“The course is everything I expected it to be and more. The accommodation is great and the services provided by the university couldn't be better,” – Tom, Rural Enterprise and Land Management. 

“I'm so glad I went here, the experiences are great the night life is brilliant and the subject I'm studying is amazing. I'm loving my time here and university and the staff are always really helpful. The university is small enough so it is a tight knit community but large enough so you there are a lot of people to choose to speak to,” Reece, Food Technology with Nutrition. 

“Wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Everyone is so friendly. Harper is my second family and I never want to come home!” Megan, Animal Behaviour and Welfare. 

“The lecturers have experienced first-hand what the industry is like and don't stop sharing information and advice on how to best tackle it!” Dan, Countryside Management. 

“Absolutely loved every minute. I call Harper home now instead of my actual home! I've met so many great, like-minded people. The SU is always keeping us interested with all the events going on… It just seems like Harper is so much more enjoyable than everywhere else,” Will, Business Management with Marketing. 

“The education is top quality with many guest speakers and experts in their fields visiting to give lectures”, Sam, Agriculture.
