I have made many new friends since my arrival in Glasgow. The city is very welcoming and so are the people here. I do miss the seaside where I come from but Glasgow has things to offer me that are not available back home.The university is great, it’s a nice place and the classes and lecturers are great.

This is my third year into my Accounting degree and it has been great. Despite all the assessments, reports and exams, I have learned how to balance university with a part time job and extra circular activities. I have gained a lot of support from our union aswell if something happened unexpectedly. Overall, a great university experience although I would not go through with again for obvious reasons. :)

Strathclyde university has an online portal where many vacancies, internships, and apprenticeships are advertised. There are also additional seminars and workshops from different companies coming to our university for students so we get an insight about what it is like to work with a specific company.

Sometimes our lecturers use the online portal to put up videos of the lecture taught on that day so we can refer back to the video presentation online incase we have forgotten something. The problem with this is that it discourages students to go into class to get the full educational experience and just sit at home going through the online video presentation.

I believe we have a lot of support from our union and even of some that we aren't aware of.

We have a range of facilities available for us students at Strathclyde. From sports to library services to union support, we have it all.

I live at home so it only takes 20 minutes to get full campus by walking. Strathclyde is situated less than a 5 minute walk from George Square which is the city centre hang out area. The university is also close to campus halls.

Due to the recently built new sports centre, we now have even more variety of different sports and societies available that are available to sign up for through our Strathclyde Union website.

Having used both services, I believe there is excellent support from our university for both academic and personal circumstances.
