[edit] History
The College sought to educate the sons of the smaller and tenant farmer groups and students tended to be taken under the wing of the wealthier farming and professional backgrounds that graduated from The Royal Agricultural College.
[edit] Modern Day College
The University College achieved first place for its teaching quality in The Sunday Times University Guide 2008 and 2009, with 100 per cent excellence. It was named University College of the Year in the 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 Guides.
In 2010 a new hall of residence was opened. In 2011, a new Student Services building - The Faccenda Centre - was opened, providing a 'one stop shop' for students, including a student hub, Student Union facilities and social rooms, with a number of teaching and meeting rooms.
