University of Glasgow

As a student you are well supported by the university team. The university campus is gorgeous and walking around during your breaks and weekend is just awesome. Everyone around is really friendly and keen to help when you need. You have really nice facilities within the university campus and studying spaces to keep you on track with your assignments and studies.

The university is a lively fantastic place to study. They have good facilities, ease of access and plenty to do whether it is study or eat. There are an abundence of societies of every flavour. Only issue is the campus is huge! It takes some time to walk across campus and is always uphill!

As a PGR you’re kinda stuck between being an adult and a student. You feel disconnected with most student social experiences and PGR specific activities tend to be a bit boring….its been a challenge to find something in between. There are societies to join but a lot of them seem dormant, or do very little activity wise. I think student soc should review societies regularly/ bi yearly to make sure they are active and present. Someone smart should create a non- professional type group for the Inbetweeners. The UofG life app is good, helps me to feel safe when I’m on campus late (SafeZone) but i still don’t know how to book a study space, I’m not familiar with all the building so don’t know what rooms are what. Also it has a supposedly handy directions function for finding buildings. It is subpar. It took me on a 20minute journey when I could have got there in 10. Surly a uni specific app like that will have in it short cuts etc. I like that there are microwaves in some buildings cafeteria area. It’s quite a diverse uni but could be more diverse. The Stevenson Sports gym has some really bad reviews. Not the type that can go on an online review but the type that you hear from word of mouth. It’s seriously put me off wanting to join. Fitness instructors not turning up for classes or running classes without music??? What. And the gym space is rife with inappropriate behaviour from guys towards girls. I understand that unless these things are brought up they can’t be addressed. Everything about my course is great! The teachers, technicians and support staff I have come across are all fantastic. I know I’m in the best place for my research and I’m stoked to be here.

My past 4 years at GU have been great with lots of interesting lectures and hands on experience. As a stay at home student i had fears of coming to university and struggling to fit in however i have made my best friends not only through my course but through the opportunities i have had through joining a sports team.

Love it. Feel really welcome and love to study here. Glasgow is such a warm, and friendly environment. It also excells academically being one of the top uk universities. My uni experience sofar has been nothing but positive !
