What students say about life-science

the university is very welcoming with a fantastic social scene and provides many opportunities for students in most courses that aren’t accessible in a lot of other places. You can feel the university’s prestige and history without the worry of a class divide as there is a diverse scene of students. The one worst aspect of glasgow university is the struggle to find a space to study at certain times of day. There isn’t too many facilities for studying on campus considering the size of the university and the number of students they host.

The facilities are really nice for students such as library, microwave and so on. Although my timetable is not quite well. Due to those facilities, I could easily find places to stay in and warm up my own made dishes.
