The accommodation on campus is actually really nice, all the rooms are quite spacious, you can have an ensuite bedroom or not an ensuite bedroom. There’s self-catering, there’s non-self-catering. If you don’t go self-catered then you get fed by the uni. I was self-catered with an ensuite bedroom and absolutely loved it.  

My RAU experience

I chose to study at the RAU due to it being a smaller campus with smaller classes, whilst still getting the expertise within your lectures. The opportunity to specialise within a degree and getting integrated learning of Science and Business meant I did not just have to choose one route to go down, or limit what I wanted to learn.
