Great sports facilities and excellent student experience only let down by campus being in city center
Strath union and students very friendly, lots of different unions to join Hills are killer
It’s easy access to the campus with several train stations and bus access. The quality of lecturing and teaching is high and the opportunity for support and seeking help when required is always available. The pricing of food on campus is too high to sustain a balanced diet for a student.
The only issue is the hills come to the buildings.
The campus has a positive feel and provides good facilities, although some parts of accommodation could do with some work. The outdoor areas of the campus seem to be improving a lot recently which is nice to see.
I am an exchange student and I haven't had any problems with that. The university is very good and the teachers are attentive to the particularities of each student.
I love how it is in the city centre and there are so many places to study
honestly so far it’s been a great experience with everyone around me so friendly and staff always so ready to help!!
The new aesthetic for the Uni is a bit too brutalist. The old union was far better than the last one. The wellbeing facilities are a bit lacking, wait lists are very large. On the whole the uni is good and far better than what I've heard from others.
Great social life close to other universities. Lecturers are typically helpful and want you to succeed. Nightlife, societies and socialising definitely the best part of my experience and has shaped it into what it is. Only real issue is the lack of study spaces particularly in the library for the amount of students there are.
The communication from some faculties isn’t great but the teaching is good
Great lecturers and students
Overall is a good experience could be better uni life facilities
Strathclyde provides a number of high tech facilities to support the learning of students and also has a great student union with many events. The only comment for the other side of eye union is the face that on some occasions and with some departments they’re a bit more last minute with things such as class timetables. When friends at other universities have already been given their timetable for the semester and we are still waiting until only a week or two before we are supposed to be starting back to actually hear what days we need to go in. But understandably there are a number of students to it is obvious that it will take some time to write them all up.

It's better than Glasgow. Staff are very friendly and always happy to help. The library COULD have more books and although they are trying to fix this and are asking for book suggestions (I have given mine), until I see more finance-related books it's staying at 4/5 (I know I'm being selfish but I want to cut costs as much as possible).
There is a society for anything and everything you'd be interested in and the union hosts loads of fun themed events. The library has all the books you could need for your course and its staff is always happy to help. The lecturers are ok but i wish students were chatting less and more involved in group work. There is a lack of seating spaces for lunch time and for studying in quieter areas. None of the cafes/food booths take cash money and they can get quite expensive. Not enough student flats on campus, means you have to spend ridiculous amounts on private accommodation or own flat. The timetables are not very clear on the app so lead to missed classes when I first arrived. The lecturers are always happy to answer any questions during or after lectures and are generally on time and deliver great content. Sometimes we spend too much time on notions that should be known by everyone (eg. content from high school or re-watching pre-class tasks in class) or for lecturers to try and work the softwares or computers and as an international student paying 16k+£ a year, this seems disrespectful for my money.
Students are really friendly and helpful. Could do with more spaces for students to study in.

Great location right in the middle of Glasgow, lots of places for students to hang around
Lectures are relaxed whilst being informative and the lecturers are friendly and entertaining
