Freshers week was full of fun events that helped me make friends and get to know the uni better, It made me feel really comfortable and at home! The accommodation is great, and there's a wide range offered for different budgets. It is at very close access to the uni, with halls being right beside the main uni buildings. Facilities are excellent! There is a brand new gym with a great pool. The library also offers several floors for different study and has many books and computers at access. My course is very interesting and I really enjoy it. I've made great friends along the way too. The lecturers are great at explaining and teaching the course material and there is additional help offered to those struggling. City life in Glasgow City is amazing. There's a wide range of bars, restaurants, shops at easy access. Nothing more a student could want.

Good fun, I enjoyed most when in first year as I was new to the uni! But every year is a good laugh! The union at Strathclyde is great! So easy to make friends with other students either doing the same course or a different course as you.

I don’t stay in Strathclydes accommodation as I already lived in Glasgow before starting the course. However I have been to a few parties at halls and the rooms/flats are a good size and very handy for the campus buildings. Slightly jealous as I have to get up earlier in mornings than those that stay on campus. Staying in halls would be good for making friends as well.

Library is a good size! Lots of computers and areas for silent private study but also good areas for group work. At the business school there is a lot of group projects so the library is great for all meeting up to discuss a project. The new gym is also amazing! So big and always space on machines

I study business analysis and tech. I love the class as it’s a rather small class so it’s easier to get help if needed from lecturers. Also good as the full year are rather close and can help each other out. I also study business law and those classes are really interesting. The business school is great as it encourages you to attend networking/internship talks and meetings

Glasgow has great night life! Always a party going on! Glasgow is known to be a friendly city, if you need help just ask! Glasgow has so many good pubs/bars. Ashton lane in west end is my favourite. Especially in summer so nice to sit outside with a cocktail with the girls

It’s hard work and you need to be able to motivate yourself to keep going. Uni is not like school anymore. You have to get on and do things yourself. And at Strathclyde attendance Is not always compulsory so sometimes it is tempting to skip a lecture or class.but just always be careful and catch up and make the most of the good classes and learning that you will do. The uni is great, highly recommend! The business school is well known so it’s very popular

Freshers week at Strathclyde was packed full of inclusive activities. There really was something for everybody allowing you to make connections early on. Chancellor's Halls were in great condition and were cleaned professionally on a weekly basis. The rooms were standard size but felt light and inviting. The library was fantastic and had earned awards for its modern set up. The Sport centre is brand new as of 2018 and offers great value for money. The course was flexible and offered a variety of business subjects. This allowed you to shape the course to your needs and really get the most out of it Glasgow itself has a buzzing nightlife with endless restaurants and bars to try. For day time activities the west end hosts a number of museums and coffee shops to wander through.

I enjoyed my freshers week. There were a lot of things to do, like free food events, introductions to social clubs, and gigs. I enjoyed meeting new people on my course. I have lived at home for the duration of my course. However what I have seen from inside friend's flats, it looks to be really good. Spacious and a good place to study. Really good! The library is excellent and one of my favourite buildings on campus. I found it really engaging to learn all about how the mind and body interact with each other. The lecturers have all made a huge effort to make their classes interesting and have been really supportive outside of class time. Really good. Being in the city centre of glasgow meant we could easily go shopping or go for a coffee off campus if we had an hour free. There are loads of great cafes to study in right next to Strathclyde, which was perfect.

I have found the course good. I have Met a lot of new people and enjoy still learning even after leaving high school. The best part about university life is probably being able to do what you want whenever you want. At first it's hard moving away from home then you get used to the freedom. Overall I have enjoyed my university experience.

My experience at university has been far better than I ever expected. The independence of living away from home cooking for yourself along with everything else is so nice. It's also great to be able to go out anywhere and till anytime without your parents worrying or waiting on you coming in. Living with friends is such a good experience. My course is good and I'm enjoying it, it does require a lot of work but the lecturers are always happy to help and answer any questions. The best advice I'd give to a new student would be to join a sports club because the sports union is a great thing to be part of. Socials are so much fun and it's another great way of meeting new people, I play hockey and it's the best community to be in as everyone is so close and looks out for each other. Timetables and classes are planned in advance to it was so easy for me to know where I should be and when, Glasgow is always such a student friendly city so I couldn't be happier.

University is great, meeting people and going out adds to the already interesting experience that you learn on your course. Leaning a specific field in depth and understanding concepts you wouldn't otherwise hear allow you to really see how a business runs and the precautions they take in times of risk and uncertainty.

Lots of societys to join that allows you to make new friends from different faculties. Physics is a great department full of helpful staff who support and encourage their students. On campus there are lots of amenities, lots of coffee pit stops. Also the university has an app which contains a timetable, map, computer avaliablity and many other features such as notification of when exam results are up.
