The lack of car parking spaces is embarrassing considering it’s a campus uni and charging £90 for a parking permit. Being strict on attendance but don’t have enough spaces for students to go to their classes.
Unilink could be more consistent
Best- teaching Worst- UL Bus unreliable
I love the campus layout and all the clubs/societies that are offered, and how accepting they are international students. It is a very small town, accommodation is limited.
best- feel good uni and good student life worst- parking at the uni
Car Parking is beyond pathetic, University clearly only cares about money in this instance. Many carparks closed off for work that they decided to take place during term time. Issuing tickets to anyone who is parked somewhere they shouldn't, i understand thats fair enough but what else are they genuinely expecting people to do? £90 permits not even discounted knowing there isn't enough facilities for everyone, more people commuting due to accommodations being closed. I have missed many classes and spent over an hour trying to park before.
Beautiful campus - lovely to go for a walk! Excellent gym facilities for price. Definitely not enough parking at the moment. Shouldn't have to get here at 8am to get a parking space near the building... Not enough seating in campus central during peak times. Could be a greater focus on mature students. Good mixture of food outlets. But they're starting to get extremely expensive. 6.60 for a burger, chips and a drink! New timetable system was a complete disaster at rollout.
Not enough focus for mature students and nowhere near enough tables in the atrium for studying at. Very passionate lecturers and whole learning experience is built around being as supportive as possible for students
Campus is beautiful, not enough parking, sometimes not enough seating in campus central
The course is very interesting and the seminars are interactive, but I feel as if assessments are pushed very quickly and I wish there was more materials for it. Meals can also be quite pricey, maybe making something more accessible for those with lower income?
Good
Worst: bus never comes Best: I like the campus
Stirling is beautiful
The campus is gorgeous and the worst part is that the buses are never on time
Best is campus environment in general, worst was when campus security refused to take my flatmate to the hospital when he was bleeding out and ended up needing surgery after attempting to take his life
Decent
I absolutely love the Environmental Geography and Outdoor Education course here at Stirling University. The lecturers are all so passionate and enthusiastic about their subject and this is so encouraging as a student to participate and gain as much out of my degree as possible! Outdoor education has been everything that I hoped for, generally a small group meaning that on course field trips you really bond and make true friends. The sports facilities are incredible and as a first year student I cannot recommend the University of Stirling enough to future and potential applicants. The only thing which in my opinion could be improved is access to some information. Most information is accessed via social media regarding social events and clubs however due to not having social media I am very reliant upon word of mouth instead. It is working out so far but consideration is not necessarily always taken about this fact though I am in the minority of students since most do in fact have social media.
The University of Stirling is the best place to study if you love being surrounded by nature. The campus is breathtaking, there are park benches around to sit on and enjoy the scenery. The lecturers and staff are so friendly and welcoming. I do wish there were more job opportunities on campus for students.
