Transcript of RAU Student Experience video

I came and did an open day and I loved how small the campus was and how close-knit everybody was.

I'm not from a farming background so I wanted an opportunity to get into the industry and I thought with the Uni's connections and research  this would be the best place to do it.

When I came here I found a very loving and welcoming community. The students, the teaching and the non-teaching staff, they have been able to help me settle in and I just feel at home.
