The student union puts in great effort and offers many different activities for students to engage in. There is even a bar on campus! One downside is the state of on-campus accommodation, but it is not worse than in other universities.
Good facilities
One factor i noice is I find I difficult to find seats during breaks, I feel there should be more available.
It’s great, could use some more seating areas
Best aspect would be the high quality labs and the resources provided. Worst aspect is the hill outside.
I only have proper experience with a few parts since I'm in first year, but so far I've found the staff to be very friendly and welcoming, both within my course and out with. The student union is excellent too. However, the location makes it worrying to be working at the university late or going to nights held by the union due to it being in the heart of town. It's expensive to live in the accomodations on-campus (or in the town centre in general) and it's worrying to walk home alone in the town at the dead of night.
Love the Uni and support network. Information overload is probably the 1 downside but hey you are a first year and the Uni wants to make sure you are informed!

For me Strathclyde is very good, honestly I don't know what you can improve.
Lecturers are amazing. Tutorials are great. Library staff are so helpful, they go above and beyond. Only criticism is the blind invigilated exams. Law is a subject which in practice, for any job, you would never attempt to do from memory. By its very nature (it changes) you would always research before attempting to represent a client or explain a legal position. What compounds the difficulties in exams (a memory test in essence) is the curriculum subjects (some are too large to cover in 12 weeks) but the Law Society of Scotland set the curriculum. I think Universities should have more autonomy in decision making regarding the curriculum and at least half of the exam questions should be released in advance. Researching the law in preparation for an exam is still a valuable learning tool and equally important experience

Excellent location and staff. There could be better catering services.
I love just outside Glasgow and I’m able to commute there easily every day (about 40 mins).
Just a bit mid you know
It is a welcoming place where students feel comfortable and can share experiences with other students and meet people, have a good time while they are entertained and unwind.
Good location but doesn't really feel like a proper campus since its spread across town
Best is the course quality and learning as a graduate apprenticeship. Worse is not having as much on campus contact as non GA students
Strathclyde has genuinely made me feel so welcome from the day I started, right from the beginning, their welcome and development week showcased what a tight-knit, welcoming community it is. Their facilities are fantastic and they keep up to date through modernising their buildings etc, and the Strath Union offers so much more than I expected, on top of this, the uni offers a lot of support to students, which I hadn’t seen much in any other universities that I visited. It feels like the uni really understands their students and wants to enable them to flourish in their studies. I’m really enjoying my course too (Politics) the lecturers and staff have helped ease students ease into their studies as it can be overwhelming at the beginning. The university also has great communication with students, I regularly receive emails on a variety of different things, and informing you of what’s on at the union and helpful tips and tricks. I couldn’t be more pleased to be going to such a great university in one of the best cities!
Good location in the city centre
