My initial thoughts about coming to RGU have most definitely exceeded my expectations, now half way through my undergraduate degree. I have been highly impressed with the additional support teaching staff provide to students and the dedication they have to ensuring that we get the most out of our learning experience. Something that makes RGU unique as a university in Scotland is the emphasis on the practical skills aspect of our learning and developing our skills and practical applications of our learning to prepare us for the workplace. The university as a whole creates a social and welcoming environment to students and emphasises the importance of the social aspect of university, with an immense range of extracurricular activities to get involved in and I think as students, it is great to see that the university values our needs out with our learning and taking time to relax and escape from the stresses that studying can bring at times.

My best experience would be personal support from tutors and the health and well-being team I haven’t really had any bad experiences

The support system the school has is one of my best aspects of my university experience. There’s easily accessible help for any struggle, whether with course material, career and jobs, personal issues, disabilities or difficulties etc. I don’t really have any negatives
Overall my experience at RGU has been enjoyable and I would definetely go back for my postgraduate studies. The accomodation and living expenses when budgeted well is good.
Wish I'd never gone. Worst 3 years of my life. I was told how much I needed this, how much I'd love this and how great the future would be for going. All lies I gave up work to go so have lost out on 4 years of wages, (was told I'd recoup this within 5 years) So far I have been unemployed since leaving. No interviews, most companies don't even bother to say thanks but no thanks. Worst mistake of my life was going to this. Now I am going to be paying for this mistake for the rest of my life and be in worse jobs if I ever get one
Good
Aberdeen sucks! Cant wait to leave and return home. There's a poor choice for places to eat and very expensive for students
Met some nice people here and enjoying myself completely. I loved learning and taking part in various group lecture sessions - they were amazing
An amazing university in the middle of a beautiful city, the uni experience according to me depends on how you make use of it, I am hoping to make the most out of my uni life
