Your guide to living and studying in Cheltenham, written by local students from the University of Gloucestershire.
Nestled in the heart of Gloucestershire lies Cheltenham, a charming Regency town bustling with energy from its diverse student population.

The educational landscape isn't just about textbooks and lectures. It's about the inclusive ethos of places like National Star College, dedicated to empowering disabled students, and the nurturing environment of Dean Close School, where a Christian ethos guides young minds from early childhood through adolescence. With a variety of sixth forms adding to the mix, Cheltenham offers an educational establishment for students of all backgrounds and aspirations.
