She had been a travel and tourism student at the city centre college between 2008 and 2010.
A statement from the college said she was “remembered by many staff who had the pleasure of teaching her.”
It added: “Our heartfelt sympathy and sincere condolences are with Kirsty and Rhiannon’s families at this distressing and difficult time.”
Rhiannon had been leaving the motorway at junction 19 when her car left the carriageway.
It is understood that she left her vehicle and was then hit by a number of passing cars. She died at the scene.
The motorway was closed for a number of hours while police dealt with the incident.
Police are now appealing for witnesses to the accident, which happened at around 1am, to contact them on 101.
The Bath Chronicle reflects on the double tragedy that has hit the city in this week's edition.

“Again such a sad sad weekend for Bath. I didn't know Rhiannon but I have friends who did, I understand she was a bright young girl with so much to live for! My deepest sympathy for Rhiannon's Family & Friends at this devestating time, I hope you are able to find peace knowing she is with the angels now looking down on you and forever in your hearts! x”
