University of Glasgow

Best: -level of teaching is great, lecturers are nice -the degree i'm taking challenges me -loads of places to study -great access via underground or buses from city centre and uni -both unions are superb, with the QMU having better events while GUU has better food and building -local spots to eat and drink -moodle and UofG life services are really helpful -companies on campus and career fairs Worst -st Andrews building being away from main campus - newer buildings aren't very good looking and have little good places to study. Stools with no back support are terrible and the majority in all the new buildings -bus going into the city centre is always late without fail -library is hard to navigate, mabey have a leaflet/webpage on how to understand the shelf layouts/find books more effectivly

The University of Glasgow is a great place to study. The location right in the heart of the west end and only 10 minutes from the city centre by subway make it easy to balance uni work and fun and the city's transport links make it easy to get to uni even if you don't live on campus. As there is such a large student body there are many student societies and sports clubs, truly something for everyone, and joining a society or a sports club is a great way to make new friends. There are plenty of places to study on campus from the silent floors of the library to the busy communal spaces of the JMS there is plenty of space on campus to study and there will always be a place to suit your studying needs. The university has decent student support, but this could definitely be improved upon with better counselling and mental health support for students. Also, it can be difficult to find student accommodation on or near campus as the city is very busy and housing prices are going up.

Academically, the University of Glasgow is solid, with excellent faculty and diverse course offerings. The campus itself is lovely, and there’s a strong sense of community among students. However, administrative processes such as enrollment and grading can be cumbersome and confusing at times. More transparency and streamlined processes would greatly improve the student experience. Despite these challenges, the overall academic experience has been positive, and I’ve gained valuable skills for my future career.

I think that the university its fine. I like the campus! But the students life is more complicated when you are a international student. So it’s important to have supports with your mental health. I think there should be more information about how to take therapy.

Pretty uni, good student life, near parks, vibrant city, flexibility in courses. Sometimes campus can be overcrowded, not necessarily good outreach to students from staff in lower years. This improves as you progress through your degree
