Fine. The university were accomodating when I needed to take a year out and the course is interesting. Lecturers are mostly good. The facilities are good. It's been fine.

In sciences there is a lot of oppertunities to do work placements as part of your degree, summer internships and programs. There's support for academic writing and other things that help your coursework and also overall employability. academic advisers are fairly decent and the carrers advice service also have lots of helpful info.

It is taught in a ridiculous order! You do so many topics all at once, taught simultaneously and there's no space in a semster to catch up if you fall behind. In one week I have classes on 2 different maths topics, 2 different chemistry topics and 2 different physics topics, totalling 3h of lectures a day, plus 3 labs a week and occasional tutorials. It is really research based and you get taught by some fantastic people at the top in their feild but it is a LOT to keep up with.

There's 3 main unions and the sports union. SRC is amazing at sorting out help and advice for students to do with anything you might need. QMU seem to do lots of campaigning for mental health and other good causes about campus. I don't actually know what GUU does outside of daft friday...

Pretty good! Labs use technical equipment from 2nd year onwards, buildings are mostly refurbished, some lecture halls have video recording facilities. Lots of food places on campus that are affordable, the janitors and cleaners are lovely, good common room facilities and branch libraries in different buildings. Should get even better with the new buildings, for now the construction works are a bit loud.

In terms of distance to accommodation and local amenities its pretty great, but expensive. It's close to the city, and on the subway line, but closer accomodation can get pricy as its in the west end.

Ridiculous amount of societies! You will find something interesting. Some can be a bit clique-y but loads are supper friendly.

Counselling is there but it is not great. There is a lot of support availiable form outside charities bassed in and arround Glasgow though. Academic support is good, there are clear points of contact if you have an issue and issues are generally dealt with efficiantly.

My university experience has been good, although i have no had an appropriate chance to fully experience the social side due to the amount of work my degree requires. I had to take a year out on medical grounds so personally it's been up and down for me. There are aspects i really enjoy, but some i don't, which is probably a common denominator amongst other students i suspect.

There's loads of events held by the Careers Service. There's weekly updated via email on career opportunities and fairs. On top of this there's an accessible careers hub which allows you to book a meeting with a careers advisor. Many of the courses in the school of chemistry and school of physics & astronomy have internship offers and placement opportunities, or staff will send out any openings.

Sometimes the course feels quite rushed, there's a lot of information to cram into a short space of time.

I don't know much about the union therefore I am not overly involved. There's events held but I'm not told about them regularly enough.

Toilets are well maintained and clean. There's even free sanitary towels for women in toilets along the lines of a donation box - take when you need, donate when you have spare which is a good idea. There's unisex toilets available. Plenty of food areas on campus and vending machines, although quite expensive. Printing and computer access is very good as well.

Glasgow as a city is a fantastic place to live. It has it's own character. As well as nightlife, there's ample fantastic restaurants, shops and entertainment. Probably the best city in Scotland in terms of things to do, accessibility, price etc.

There's a massive range of clubs and societies to cater for everyone. From things like tea appreciation societies which consist of meeting up for cups of tea on a biweekly basis to archery and frisbee sports societies. Glasgow university has its own Sports Association (GUSA) which means the sports facilities are well maintained and theres always something going on. There's even a video game society and board game society, and a rock music society whom attend gigs and concerts in the city centre on a regular basis too.

Tutors and feedback very good, although it varies from school to school. The physics school for instance are good at provided feedback and worked answers , where as the school of chemistry have a rule where they don't provide answers to past papers etc. In terms of personal, I found that the university's health service was poor. I got put on a 6 month waiting list by which time I'd finished the semester and the appointment was useless by this time. Personal advisors of studies are more useful for personal issues i feel.
