Best experience was the English societies pub quiz night. Worst experience was when a lecturer decided half the class was guilty of plagiarism on a Shakespeare question because we all answered in a high school introduction formatting and she wouldn’t listen otherwise even when people had evidence that they didn’t cheat, the lack of trust between lecturers and students is reminiscent of high school and it’s blatantly disrespectful.
The lab facilities could be updated and the course could involve more practical based classes. The students union pushes only one political view and I feel under represented
I love where it is in the city and that the buildings are well laid out and close together it makes class commute easy. There are lots of places nearby for lunch and the Union is a great option! Societies are great fun and there are loads and loads to chose from.
Learning is great, some buildings are a bit outdated but it is genuinely a really good uni
Very social Uni, with lots of opportunities to make friends. Lecturers are all very passionate about their classes and are very approachable For improvements, certain facilities need upgraded - particularly old lecture and tutorial rooms which are not the best environment to learn in
The library is very good.
Great resources to study better, great teaching and materials It would be better if there are more fun activities for students to engage with, especially after a long session of work and exams.
I love spending time at the Strathclyde gym. Everything is brand new and it’s a great way to wind down after a full day of uni. The library is also wonderful. It has plenty of private study rooms, group study booths, and computers to borrow.
New teaching and learning building has lots of social spaces and cafes
People are great, they help a lot. Also lokations für studys as well as sparetime are great.
Great uni
The student life is really good with especially good facilities in the James weir labs to support the learning. The disability and welfare service has a really long waiting time when needing to access their services.

The best aspect of uni is meeting new people from different parts of the world (learning from them, learning about different cultures, etc.) Strathclyde University provides students support and it cares about the wellbeing of its students. The worst aspect of my uni experience is feeling stress during exams and being far away from my family. However, managing my time and also doing other things can help me during exams, etc.
Student union is not big enough and too expensive food etc also too divided a more open space would be better
All the study facilities available to students. Some course materials should be revised so they are more current
Worst - bad organization sometimes Best - social life for students

My course itself is very interesting as Uni of Strathclyde offers a wider range of module options than other universities in Scotland and therefore I feel like I've been able to study more things that I enjoy. The most needed improvement to Strathclyde is within the union and the Learning and Teaching building as they are both marketed as places for students to sit and relax between classes but the university has failed to utilise the building space properly and therefore the seating available is not equivalent to the number of students moving through the university at any one time.
I think that the lecturers are helpful and the course content itself is very interesting as it varies quite a lot. I believe that there is a clear difference between the facilities offered to humanities students and the rest of the university however. This is clear as the buildings for such subjects as business and science are consistently being invested in and their buildings are much newer than the buildings that Humanities are required to use
They are way too expensive for the amount that you are given
