I've had a fantastic time at the University of Glasgow. The professors are knowledgeable and genuinely care about the students' success. The campus is absolutely stunning, and there are so many facilities available for student support, from mental health services to career advising. However, I think more emphasis could be placed on practical experience in some programs. While the theory we learn is great, more real-world applications would be useful. Overall, I’m happy with my choice, and I’d recommend it to others!

The University is set in an area of Glasgow that has a magical feeling about it. Knowing you are walking the same paths as some of the most influential characters that have helped shape the world we live in today is an honour and privilege. It is inspiring and can be a motivator to think of the former students who studied at this amazing institution. I am often overcome with imposter syndrome, though I quickly remind myself how hard I worked to obtain a place at the University of Glasgow. The sheer size of the university can be challenging, especially if you only have a short period of time to get from one end of the campus to the other. So for those who may have mobility issues I think having electric buggies for those less able to get around would be helpful to them.

As a mature student I sometimes feel some of the course material can be a bit disheartening as it is engineered mostly for young students to develop engagement and communication skills. I understand this is essential in the work we strive to do but if I’m being honest I have felt out of place at times. My work placement is something I am extremely passionate about, regarding helping the homeless, though it does not provide the material required for my assessments. I’m hoping this can be overcome through dialogue with my placement advisor and work supervisor. Overall I have learned so much in a short space of time and as long as I keep reflecting on how I can improve situations that I have struggled with, I will continue to develop new skills and grow as an individual.
