History/Psychology - MA (Hons)

The best aspects of my university experience so far are all the clubs and societies you’re able to join and meet people through. The location of the University of Glasgow is also amazing as it’s nearby to lots of shops and restaurants that you can go to in between lectures! The worst aspects of university experience would be the cost of living and the price of joining sports here.

Beautiful campus with great educational, social, and extracurricular opportunities. Being able to take elective subjects broadens your ability to understand topics from different points of view and gain a more comprehensive understanding of the topic at hand. Extracurriculars which can suit anybody and any specific interests, also great for beginners who want to take on new challenges. I would say that the university’s avenues of support should be more accessible and have more funding - with such a huge student body this is vital. Those struggling with their mental health or require extra assistance with a physical disability should know that they have somewhere to go with any queries or concerns straight away. Though these are available, they should be advertised around the university a lot more so people know that they have a direct network of support which they can access whenever they may need it.

I like that my course is very organised, the buildings are easy to use and that I feel comfy here. I think there could be some improvements on the help given to responding to students with a query

Glasgow is a fantastic place to live because there's so much going and it really feels like a proper city instead of a university town dominated by students. The university itself has mostly good facilities but could do with more study spaces. Flat hunting has been a mixed experience and improvements could definitely be made to make that an easier experience for all students. The university library is a great place to study but changes could be made to different floors to create more desks and also more charging portals.

Glasgow is a brilliant city both to live and study in. The on campus facilities are of a high quality and living in the West End means everything is easily accessible to students. The library is vast and there are plenty of places to study and hang out. The student union could potentially be improved to provide more spaces for social activities such as dart boards etc. Potentially some of the lecture spaces could be improved and the library does have a lack of plug sockets on all floors which occasionally makes it difficult to always find a space to reliably work for a sustained period of time

I am really enjoying it, but sometimes it is too tiring. Essays due date are often too close to each other, but if you have a good reason for an extension you can always get one.

The uni is in the West End of Glasgow which feels so safe and is very picturesque with parks within walking distance. The French course is very good. The rent prices are very high compared to other universities in the UK.

I have enjoyed second year far more than first as I think first year is quite difficult in terms of settling in. My advice to other students would be to make yourself busy, go out to events and reach out to new people even if you feel you don't know them that well.
