Love the library. Would be better if some of the books were more up to date. Reading physical books is easier than trying to read them online.
- Great course leaders who care and are passionate about their course and area of study. - Creative writers are well accomplished and have knowledge of applying your passion to future jobs and opportunities beyond university. - I wish the humanities buildings had a little more TLC. Compared to the gorgeous new buildings for sports and business, humanities is lacking. - really understanding when it comes to mental health troubles, never had any issue when applying for extensions.
So far I have really enjoyed all aspects of university life. Living in the city, staying in halls, meeting new people and expanding my knowledge!
Very modern campus and really nice lecturers.
Everyone is so supportive and I love studying here because the lecturers are helpful.
The biomedical science in strathclyde is the best I love it
Marking strikes and lecturer response rate reduce the overall performance of the university. Students union could be cheaper, £4 for a coffee is so overpriced, as a student that pays for university it’s disheartening to see this prices. Love the campus, campus facilities, wish the gym was open later than 6pm on the weekends however overall great university.
Could improve the lifts. Overall a great place to study at. The library is fantastic!

Honestly what makes a university is always its students, and there is a range of different types of people. I've made some of my greatest lifelong friends already and its only been 4/5 months. Strathclyde has good sport facilities as well as a range of clubs to choose from! I also love the library and the amount of study spaces dotted around the place.
I love my maths classes at Strathclyde and the department is so wonderful. The union is the coolest place ever and I love spending time there and at the library. I have also joined some sports clubs which I love going to :)
- make the prices in the students union cheaper - provide more opportunities for students to meet - lecturers can sometimes be a bit cold and unhelpful (not the many of course but there are a few who have made this uni experience very stressful)
Good atmosphere and sports facilities
The uni has a wide range of facilities for students to study and work on their coursework. The University also has an amazing union where I have had the opportunity to meet and socialise with new friends due to having a comfortable and sociable space to have fun.
good location and many kind staff
As a student, I know of the ups and downs of university life. The best part for me is definitely the opportunity for personal growth and independence. It's a chance to discover who you are and what you're passionate about, in my case that being Law. Plus, making lifelong friendships and being part of a vibrant campus community is amazing! But let's be real, there are also some challenges. The workload can be intense at times, and the academic pressure can feel overwhelming. Adjusting to a new environment and being away from home can be tough too. And let's not forget about those financial constraints that can add some stress. Overall, I think universities could improve by providing more support services and resources to help students navigate these challenges. Having accessible mental health support, academic assistance, and financial aid can make a big difference. But hey, despite the ups and downs, the university experience is definitely worth it in the end! 🎓😄
The campus is beautiful with lots of new buildings and great facilities. The course itself requires some fine tuning as it can be very repetitive
It is right in the centre of Glasgow and has lots of places to study such as the library and all the buildings are close together and easy to get to. Although it is built on a hill so can be quite tiring at times.

There is a number of reasons to improve some student accommodations
Impressive facilities and modern buildings, well equipped


Light, airy, everything is easy to get to, good transport links and lots of charging facilities. Lecturers listen to feedback and act upon issues raised. Only downsides are the massive hill, and sometimes lack of seating in the learning hub and library
All in person, usual hours are around 3-7 hours a day depending on whether you have labs or tutorials
