Neuroscience

University of Glasgow

The location is great, very beautiful and many things to do however it can be hard/long time to get to for home students Lecturers tend to be great however student advisors aren’t always best suited for the student (different course etc) so they can’t help students much

Good location and a nice campus. Good teaching facilities and most locations are modern and nice to be in. The sports centre is pretty disappointing. The opening times are a joke (shuts at 5:30pm on weekends ). The gym is always packed with people and lacks some key equipment (though the equipment they do have is high quality). Personally, if I had known this before I came I would not have bought a membership, especially given the availability of other commercial gyms around Glasgow. The food on campus is overpriced for seemingly no reason. The library coffee that is made by a machine costs the same as a high street cup of coffee. This is not the case at other universities I have gone to. It seems like Glasgow University is trying to squeeze as much cash out of its students as possible. Student representation is also lacking. For example, I have no idea who to go and speak to to raise the issues above.

The best part is definitely the amount of support I have available to me academically, but I think that there could be some drastic improvements to the communication channels that the societies use.

Morestudy spaces would be ideal, the hub in particular, there are never any seats and people resort to sitting oh the floor

No where near enough seats with tables for students to study at which puts me off coming into university to do revision as I know it will be a struggle to find a study space. Unions are great places to be around students and be a part of the student life.
