The university of Strathclyde got some fancy sports center and student union with decent amount of famous sports clubs, also with great support from professors and tutors alongside. However, I dont really like how the campus look, didnt really feel like a uni campus as it is located in the center of glasgow
With it being half online and half in sometimes communication is very hard to understand what the lecturers want us to do. Uni has been good because it has given me a purpose in learning new things and to push myself to do new things I think the mental health of students needs to be better. Even if people come in to talk

It's okay. Some folk are decent
I just graduated school and it is my first time attending a university. The shift from school to uni level was not that pressurising when I started my first semester in Strath. Later, I seemed to pressurise myself to do better so that I could fit well with my fellow students. To make it clear, the uni did not require anyone to have skills before enrollment. The tutors and seniors (mentors) are friendly and shares their experience and tips to handle the years' assignments and curriculum, which are very useful for freshers. Not too expensive for international students, good help and support service for them as well. A very understanding and flexible university in terms of Covid-related situations. Library and Department services were helpful too. To improve: More appropriate references needed as study materials, and more digital copies so that a lot of students can read and learn at the same time.
According to me, everything is so good. The only thing is the staircase at the union building side. We have climb up the stairs with grocery as the supermarket is across the street that side.
the buildings are very modern and attractive to study at and spent time with your peers it has lots of facilities and technology too.
The staff at the university is a great help and they help you with your learning and studies. However, I have yet to make friends being in Year 4, so I hope this can be improved on.
The facilities being so close together makes it handy to get from one area to another. The new union also has a lot of study space which is good. However the new union has not enough good desks, a lot of the desks in the study area are too small to use properly.
Great place to study, excellent union, brilliant location. Support is excellent and disability support very accessible. Timetabling could be improved.
The university campus has great facilities like library, sports centre and student Union building and the campus is a two minute walk from George Square in the centre of Glasgow which makes many of Glasgow's facilities very available to students. It is also close to Buchanan Street bus station and Glasgow Central station making it easy to get in and out of the city near the university.

Strathclyde University is right at the heart of Glasgow, so it’s easy to walk down to the high street before or after your classes to get a quick snack (I personally recommend Oaka’s pork buns - I get those after almost every class - or the MooBoo bubble tea). Also, the student Union is really cool. They have a bar, lots of places to get food, really fun event nights (drag bingo, for example, was amazing to see) and good society scouting opportunities. I meet up with my friends there all the time for pre-drinks and sometimes a little show. I’ve met lots of nice people in my classes, and generally the teachers I have are quite approachable, so I don’t think twice when I have a question to ask. The workload hasn’t been too bad either. As a student coming in from England, settling in wasn’t difficult for me. Everybody was really easy to understand and you get used to navigating the city eventually. Plus, the Strathclyde app has a campus map that you can use, which really helped with getting to my classes. Overall, I like this place a lot :)
Great place to study, right in the centre of town, good facilities with new buildings. Me union is a bit small but still great night out.
Strathclyde is an amazing place to study. Not only is course content detailed and engaging, the lectures go above and beyond to make learning enjoyable. Additionally they are always on hand and willing to help and support you in any way they can. Student feedback is always taken into consideration no matter what this is regarding, it makes you feel like a real part of the community they have created knowing you are listened to. The people you meet along the way of your studies can become friends for life as you are always given opportunities to work with your peers which is another amazing aspect of studying at Strathclyde. The campus is phenomenal and while some buildings are tricky to navigate your way around, you get there in the end. The new Union and learning and teaching building are wonderful additions to an already great campus. They bring a modern feel to some of the outdated buildings and the facilities with them are great for utilising as study spaces or hanging out with friends. Overall, being a part of Strathclyde is something that will stay with you for life, for all the right reasons.
My experience has been great and good.

10/10 uni. Friendliest people and some of the best lecturers you could ask for.

The blended learning experience has significantly reduced my social anxiety - it is great that there is the option for online and/or on campus teaching. The staff at the University of Strathclyde do an exceptional job at ensuring the welfare of students because they know that this is essential to get the best out of their higher education experience.
The staff, facilities and all aspects of the Uni are top tier, during lockdown there was plenty of extra support to help keep you up to date with any changes.

The best part of studying at Strathclyde is the community that is prominent in every program and within student life. The students are helpful and welcoming, the Union has been a great asset to meeting new people, making friends and getting to know the city of Glasgow. The staff and school are very accommodating to international students by providing Airport Pickup Service and Quarantine Services. Strathclyde made travelling and studying during covid effortless. Glasgow is the perfect city to study in. It’s diverse, lively, but not overwhelming. Commuting is easy and there is always plenty to do depending on your preferences. There is a lively arts and entertainment scene, great outdoor hikes, walks and bike trials, tons of history museums, and international cuisine to help you feel more at home.


Wellbeing service aren't the easiest to get proper contact with and i preferred the old union each floor had. it had it own purpose instead of the new one which is basically like a night out bar.

Bus transport is terrible. Trains and subways are very good.
