University of Glasgow

Honestly up there with one of the best weeks of my life so far! The union is really good at Glasgow, everyone was in the one place so was actually a good opportunity to meet people from the uni

Murano is defo the best place to stay, your lucky is you get a renovated flat. Wouldn’t recommend staying in a large flat(10/12 people) unless your really up for that because it ends up a huge mess!

Library is huge a really nice place to study. You get your gym membership included in your accommodation fee which is really good because it has every machine possible and plenty of them

The lecture halls are all nice - location wise for business. The work load is reasonble and it covers all areas ie finance marketing so you’ll have something that interests you

Glasgow is the best city in Scotland. So many clubs to go too. The west end is a really nice area and the transportation to the centre is really good- the sub way is cheap

Be prepared to buy textbooks- they are really pricing. Make sure you haven’t forgotten everything to do with maths - finance area requires you to use formula

I love the experience here. I think Glasgow is a great city to be in and there are so many opportunities to thrive and to enjoy yourself. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here!

Very busy, was a little bit overwhelming when you don’t particularly know your way around. There lots of activities for suitable for everyone no matter what you are interested in. However, not being 18 didn’t feel like I could do as much as I wanted.

I don’t live at the universities accommodation, however it comes across as being very well run, there is a wide range available eg studios or en suite rooms for a range of reasonable prices. Some also offer parking which is a game changer. They are also within a good distance from the the university so it is easily accessible.

The library is huge and has a very wide selection of books and news articles. Also if what you are looking for isn’t there, the library will get it for you which is very useful. Both unions are good too, normally rather busy especially hive. However with the university being spread across the west end, it isn’t the best getting from class to class if they are in different buildings because the walk might take up to 15mins.

my course is rated number one in the UK which makes it very appealing. It is good because all the lecturers know exactly what they are talking about and are very approachable if you do have any questions. The university also makes it incredibly clear who you can speak to if you and any issues or problems.

City life is amazing, having everything within walking distance is so useful. Also if you ever order anything online it can come either same day or next day which is life changing. I thought noise would be a problem as there is a lot of nightlife but it isn’t, also you do hear the odd siren.

It is not as easy as you think, if you aren’t willing to put in the extra effort it isn’t for you. However, the split between placement and uni is really good because it’s nice to get out of uni and put what you have learnt into practice. Also I would recommend being able to drive as it is so much easier to drive to placements rather than having to rely on public transport.

The campus is like Hogwarts so I'm already impressed. The lectures have been good. Some lecturers though speak to everyone like they're just out of school, me being 23 this is a bit annoying. The facilities are amazing. I'm loving it so far.

It is a wonderful university with plenty of charm and spirit. The main building is fantastic, a true sight whilst the other building accompany the surrounding well. The library is vast and well stocked whilst the support and teaching here is phenomenal and wide spread. Social events made the evenings fun and fulfilling!

It was alright. The school organised quite a few events for us to get comfortable at the university. The enrolment process was quite confusing though. There's several dorms you could choose from, and from what I've seen they were quite nice. Usually it's 4-8 people per flat with each having a room of their own. The kitchen can get a bit crowded but it's nice to spend time there with others. The library is really lovely and spacious, with several elevators and areas for both studying and reading. The classrooms were pretty standard but the outside scenery of the Uni is really gorgeous (it really does look like Hogwarts). The lecturers were always kind and willing to help. I enjoyed all my lectures but found the amount of contact hours with our tutors to be a bit too low. Glasgow is just amazing. I love the city's architecture, the lovely people and the nightlife. The only thing I missed is that Glasgow is not nearly as diverse as London which is to be expected I suppose, but it is a shock when you've spent most your life in London.

There were many events helped you to know the campus better. There were also people showing you the clubs you can participate. A lot of freebies. There are several university accommodations located 15 mins walk to 30 mins from the university. Accommodation includes the pass for the campus gym. Rooms were mostly en suite and share kitchen with 5 or 6 people. Many buildings were built hundred years ago so it looked very ancient from the outside. However, the classrooms were quite modern with newly painted wall and all fairly new tables and teaching devices. Gym was very modern with a big swimming pool, steam, and sauna. University continues to build new building and expanding the campus. A lot of famous professors that were very knowledgeable and also with a lot of practical experiences. Lectures were interactive and allowed you to discuss with students from different background. Cultural events, nightlife, art exhibitions. Glasgow is a very dynamic city with different things going on everyday. University is located in the nice area of Glasgow but also close to all the hype areas.

Really good events at the main campus and separate course events Student accommodation is good. Great for meeting people and parties Good library and gym. Student Union amazing for nights out Good lecturers and method of teaching. Great range of practicals for course Glasgow is really good for nights out. Also a nice place to live

lots to do and see. loads of useful information about. i live at home so don’t have any opinions on the accomodation. the library is amazing !. the course is a really good structure and the lectures are very informative. glasgow is a fab city! lots to do, see, eat and drink. it’s hard work but worth it

It was good. Lots of events. Limited evening events for under 18s which was disappointing but it was good that they had a home students day. This allowed folk living in private flats/ not uni halls to meet each other I stayed in a private flat first year but loads of friends stayed in halls. Good options depending on what you're interested in. Murano for partying and there's separate female only if that's important to you Great. Library is fab, reading room is brilliant too for studying. Enjoy a pint of fun at Glasgow university union, the uni actually has 2 unions to choose from but I like GUU since it's more political/ debates focussed Interesting topics and the lecturers did their best to help you understand. Always the option of going to office hours for extra help. Tutorials are always engaging and helpful to consolidate learning Great. Glasgow has loads of culture. Brilliant nightlife, loads of student nights. The west end is especially good for studenty things. Glasgow is also a very friendly and welcoming city
