University of Glasgow

The study spaces and buildings, the vast student support, the number of clubs and societies and unions. The quality of the education and research and knowledge from the lecturers as teaching assistants. Plentiful modes of public transport nearby (subway, trains, bus). Although not a lot of parking near the uni for students, and some of the outlets at the uni are quite expensive- given it’s a uni and filled with students, if a home students has a lot of extra curricular such as societies, or school events are from 5pm onwards which depending on your commute is not practical so can feel a bit isolated from that perspective. Lots of resources for help with different topics from mental health, general advice, help with studies etc. the student kitchens means students can bring their own food and heat it up. Some buildings can be difficult to find or specifically the rooms within it, but staff are approachable and helpful and the UofG life app offers a ‘find a room’ feature which is very helpful. Many buildings are accessible, although some of the older buildings are not as much, but a lot of them are. Overall, would highly recommend the University of Glasgow.

The campus is super pretty which I love though some of the amenities are a little aged, particularly the 1970s buildings which most don’t seem to have been touched since they were built. over than that it is great

Glasgow is such a great city for young people with loads going on and lots to do. The University of Glasgow is in such an amazing location with a beautiful campus that really sets it apart from other universities. I like that is is in the West End of the city, it is almost like a wee community of just uni students. Being part of the Glasgow Student Dance Company has been the highlight of my time at university and I know that this is just one of many fantastic societies at Glasgow University. I have had such supportive staff members at university who have gone above and beyond to help me and answer my questions. The Glasgow Uni Union is great 90% of the time but myself and some of my friends have had issues with the way in which people behave on nights out at the union sometimes. Particularly on Wednesdays when sports teams are in the union, it is overcrowded and people are really rude. I have been harassed by boys on the Rugby team before and I think the University should be dealing with these issues more seriously.

Glasgow is an amazing city, with plenty of people to meet and things to do outside of university. Within Glasgow uni, there many amazing societies, to the point where every night there will be some society doing something.

- really slow administration sometimes, and washroom facilities could be better. sometimes heater also doesn't work - really great variety of student societies!! something for everyone.
