Good so far, sometimes work can get almost too overwhelming but loving the uni experience and atmosphere so far. It’s best to make use of resources and time within the university and its very important to balance social and study time
When I thought about moving to university I was filled with nerves and fear. Those feelings began to disappear when I found an amazing group of friends and got stuck into my course. From joining clubs and societies I have been able to meet more people and engage in things that I wouldn’t have tried at home. My university experience has been very memorable and enjoyable and I hope that these feelings only continue to increase!
Ups and downs. Difficult being 17 and not being able to go out as most opportunities and ways of making friends you have to be 18 but happy that I’ve gone into halls as I’ve been matched people with similar interests to me
Amazing like it so far. Ensure you get involved in all the clubs as there is many to chose from. Make sure you keep up to date with course work and don’t let your self fall behind
It has been a great experience so far. Tutors are approachable, lectures are well - organised and work placements are great. There are loads of areas to sit and study.
Very satisfying and good can only recommend going to the University of Strathclyde, you meet a lot of new people from all over the world
Overall I have found this university to be very supportive and much more so than other universities. This is down tight dedication of Mike Murray to connect us with industry and help us in the search for placements, jobs and opportunities.
So far so good ,
In the first year it took a while to get into the flow how the teaching and competitions in uni work. But when you get to 2nd year its pretty good and i just joined some groups and competitions related to my course. its fun and helps you get some excellent experience.
Students receive a lot of emails about venues, fairs, job offers and all kind of helpful and fun events. It is hard to not take part of a sport class or pizza night with yout student mates and department staff. The library and sport centre are amazing places for a person to spend time and develop. Moreover, lecturers are willing to respond via email or in person to resolve any issue you have. I personally love Glasgow as well - pictureque architecture, growing economy, numerous places to go and friendly people to talk with.
Good
I’ve had a great start to university life, it has been overwhelming with the work load and family life, but I will organise myself better and make that easier for myself
University has been great, I’ve enjoyed every year of it despite very hard work. It’s been worthwhile and hopefully set me up for the future with a career in the subject.
My experience has been great so far. There is many problems however with timetabling, through the Strathclyde app and occasionally through MyPlace. Despite the building works that have been going on throughout the university, I have yet to experience any problems, apart from a few drilling and banging through a couple of lectures.
I am happy with Strathclyde, it's a good university. With good facilities. I would like to get more involved when i have more time. Maybe there are more study places needed
Not quite exactly as I expected. There is a lot more self responsibility on how thorough you decide to learn. There is a lot of opportunities available if you seek them. There’s a lot of learning for yourself but it’s a journey that will take time and you increase in confidence in all aspects as time goes by.
My overall university experience has been positive. Difficult at Times but with correct management its not too bad. Finances are always difficult and i wish i had had a better idea of where i would be this year so i could have planned ahead more and not be recovering for so long
good but lonely


It’s a mixed bag really, it’s not a walk in the park but it is also not an unrealistic option for anyone who is willing to put the work in and commit to their course
Busy, trains always cancelled
So many options
