University of Glasgow

Knowing people in my classes before I started Time table suits my life style Struggling to find practise questions for tests and exams

Great location in Glasgow, very close to city centre. Occasionally student support is lacking, but mostly depends on the course you take.

The uni have many study spaces and rooms to book for when you want to have a study session with your friends, it’s very convenient and useful! But sometimes it’s so hard to get one since there are so many students around.

Despite it's flaws - I can't imagine ever having gone to another uni. Glasgow is brilliant for studying Politics/Sociology with dedicated and genuinely interested lecturers and helpful pastoral staff. There are countless places to study on campus (although the JMS is always packed and there are rarely seats available). Coming up to the end of my second year - the course has been varied and interesting so far and has covered theory and practical remits and the staff are willing to help with assignments and exams where they can. Most lecturers have office hours and there are numerous workshops you can attend for writing skills, numeracy, and study skills. I would be aware though that for every brilliant lecturer - there will be some that you don't agree with as is normal! I would encourage any prospectus students to thoroughly research the university through alternative sources than UCAS and the uni website alone however, and would recommend paying attention to the political sphere that the university currently finds itself within. As a whole, I recommend Glasgow Uni to incoming students!

The campus is very busy but there's always lots to take part in and students feel supported. Very pretty buildings, despite some of them being a bit outdated.
