No microwave Good muffins
The staff are great! They are always there for support and I never feel like I do not have someone to approach when struggling. Having a personal tutor is so beneficial as well, as you always have them to talk to whether it be about your studies, personal matters or career paths! I also love that it is all one campus so no need to run between building to building making it to classes as they all link in some way. The student wellbeing service is also a great support system in place, the counselling service is extremely helpful and an amazing thing to have built into the university.

What would make it easier is if there was more seating for eating lunch and studying, as when it’s times that majority of classes are finished it’s almost impossible to get anywhere
Staff are friendly some don’t get back to you in a timely manner and prioritise their own research.

The university offers a variety of courses. I have access to all the support I need and a range of opportunities to develop my career such as Student Ambassador.
Invest long term as even smaller institutions have invested around £500 million and above. Look to establish better partnerships, attain research grants and wider donation pool to fund these and also work to champion a masterplan to other stakeholders to invest inwards. Maker GCU as a key economic player and that our campus is vital component to Glasgow and the local area. A well invested masterplan that radically changes the current campus can create purpose built new buildings and extensive refurbishments that will tailor to every students needs and also build on areas that the university is known for.
I love the location of the university. As I’m a nursing student I have had a great variety of placements
Small family community with a lot of support
I am feeling more concentrated and the space can be enlarged
The best about GCU are shown through the high skilled staff members and lecturers part of the university and the number of services they offer to support students.
Good Student-lecturer relationships High quality library facilities Social facilities could be improved
The lecturers/seminar tutors.
Library is really good and useful but could do with more areas to study as there aren’t much seats for the amount of people there during the day
Best time at GC
i’ve loved all the opportunities for experience i’ve gained
The best would be the variety of facilities within the campus, along with the location which is right beside the bus station. The worst would be time tables which sometimes mean I need to travel up for 1 hour lectures, rather than them all being in the same day.
I do wish the university was much more inclusive as I'm from a different cultural background and feel as if it’s very overlooked
Could have more social study spaces, a better student union Staff always very helpful and understanding

The students at our university are the most important people on campus. Our university is very good at putting the students first and allowing them to have their say. Furthermore, there is a multitude of opportunities for staff and students to work together making the campus feel more like a community. I myself have worked with the Comms; Events; People and Wellbeing teams allowing me to form close bonds with facility.
Placement takes up a lot of course hours. 2300 to be exact. There is also 2300 of academic hours to be completed. Some of these classes could benefit from being online and not on campus. I believe we should not have Academic hours scheduled when placement hours are scheduled. I believe all academic work should be completed prior to placement beginning.
