Sort:Latest reviewsthe university is really pretty it’s self the social side with all the sports teams is so good.
Constantly things going on, something to do. Sports facilities are excellent.
Lovely library, environment. Wish the uni had more car parking spaces as I've missed a few classes due to this.
The campus and amazing sport facilities.
The campus is beautiful with lots of green space, walks for study breaks and everything in close proximity to each other. The library overlooks the loch which I enjoy whilst I study. Everything on campus is easy to find and close together, everyone is in the same area so whilst it might seem busy there is always someone you bump into and it gives a strong feeling of community. The downside to this is it can be hard to find a seat especially in the library during exam season. Being so close to the countryside and the highlands is something I love, there is always something to do on the weekends and it makes being in the outdoors really accessible. This is definitely a university for those who love to be outside. Campus is located slightly outside of the city so whilst living on campus a bus, bike or car is required to get into town to go out or for a food shop. This can be annoying and requires more planning. But I prefer the campus rather than a city based university.
the environment and determinate from students to be high achieving makes Stirling feel like an academically focused town. there are plenty of places both on campus and off campus to study and do well Aswell as facilities in the uni for unwinding (we have a cinema and a theatre).
Best- beautiful campus and great city, so close to both Glasgow and Edinburgh, good public transport, lots of course avaliable Worst- no where near enough study spaces, parking impossible,
More parking needed, also free parking because I’m a broke student. Good location and courses. Great societies. More atrium spaces.

Really nice campus Great sports facilities
Everyone is really friendly, great selection of sport teams to join and top class sport facilities
Stunning location. They always have a lot of events on for students which I find useful. Needs more water fountains though, especially in Pathfoot.
Best - amazing campus with great facilities and helpful teaching staff Worst - not enough seats in campus central and not enough parking spaces

The campus is so lovely. The union in particularly the sports union provide lots of help and support to their members. It is a small university so all student life is very inclusive!

Covid-19 had a massive impact on my study time. The uni did its best to make sure we didn’t miss out on the best years of our lives by bringing us in for classes when it was safe to do so and delivering online classes so our education wasn’t impacted.
Uni has only just become back in person the last couple of weeks - found it hard being online for so long
Nice campus, good facilities
4.2
The university itself is excellent, campus is gorgeous and it’s nice having accommodation on campus in such a beautiful place. However the IT facilities are terrible and the website for students is confusing and terrible to find anything you need. Also the maps make no sense so prepare to get lost. Staff are excellent as well as the people but it’s never going to be as exciting as a uni in a city but that’s a small price to pay to have everything in the same campus without having to fight through tourists to get to class.
The course overall is very good but the course has went from no lectures at all for education, and everyone was a bit confused to mandatory lectures. Which is pretty shocking because they are at a terrible time, clash with a lot of seminars and it feels like a double edged sword in terms of attendance. The other two subjects are excellent though.
