Living off campus
When on campus, the surrounding views
and greenery feels like you’re in the heart
of the countryside, however Hartpury
campus benefits from being only four
miles away from Gloucester city, or a short
10-minute car ride away. This makes off-site
living a popular option, particularly for
those that enjoy the city-living atmosphere
and choose to live in Gloucester city.
Wherever you decide is best for you,
Hartpury student life is vibrant and friendly.
You’ll benefit from being part of the
community and enjoy a range of freshers’
activities and social events throughout the
year, wherever you choose to live.

a lot of students car share and split fuel
costs, however there is also a regular

Gloucester, Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and
the surrounding area, with a free Hartpury
shuttle bus running during evenings and
Saturdays.

Andycars offer a discounted rate for
Hartpury students, currently around £13
(£3.25 each) for a four-seater taxi from
Hartpury to Gloucester.24
Blackfriars
Built in 2018, Blackfriars is brand new
purpose-built student accommodation.
Its modern style, with large communal
areas and small queen size beds, makes it a
popular choice. It’s perfect for those after a
real city-living experience, with the benefit
of being right next to the vibrant Gloucester
Quays - where you’ll have entertainment,
restaurants and shopping on your doorstep.
Blackfriars provides the perfect opportunity
to meet friends and stay social. The complex
is a student haven. You’ll find yourself living
alongside lots of other students, so it’s a
great way to make new friends too.
