Sort:Latest reviewsThe learning and teaching building is a nice space to be in between lectures, lots of good food options I love how green campus is you can forget you’re in the middle of a city if you know the right benches for lunch :) The gym is great, loads of classes Lecturers are passionate about what they teach The gym, library and learning and teaching buildings all need to be open more; the gym and library close early at the weekend and learning and teaching doesn’t open at all which makes studying more difficult We are often in the most random buildings for lectures, we have our own brand new SIPBS building but we never get to be in there There needs to be more mandatory career and next step classes, it’s easy to just push after uni thoughts to one side as it feels so far away and I think that’s quite dangerous
The union is incredible to making Strathclyde feeling like a community
Best - it’s on campus Worst - the union should have been built to be bigger

Great pastoral support, passionate lecturers and good location in the city. Buildings need updating
Extremely supportive both personally and academically. Inclusive, progressive and brimming with facilities both on campus and online. My only complaint would be the process of changing personal details is quite long-winded and frustrating but this too has been streamlined in recent months.
Great facilities, great staff, great teaching. Student union needs more seats
Lots of societies and sporting facilities and clubs which enrich the social aspect of my uni experience. Material delivered is interesting. Workload is pretty heavy and there can sometimes be limited support and unclear instructions on assignments.
Lecturers provide i sufficient feedback however the general university feel is good and we have access to a plethora of machinery for my engineering course.
Lectures are always very interesting and lecturers make their passion for the subject known. However not many people visit the union, this could be improved by putting more events on eg concerts
Worst aspects- takes an extremely long time to receive feedback on work, which makes it very difficult to prioritise different classes. Best aspects- great facilities and excellent societies
It’s right within the centre of Glasgow which is ideal for student life. The one thing I would improve would be the prices of items on the student union menu. They need to be cheaper than the average restaurant as students sometimes can’t afford to go out to eat every day.
It has really good resources: such as labs, library, computers.... It could be improved by using the heating in a more efficient way
There’s no where to sit. If it’s too busy I cannot find a place to sit and eat or study. Best parts is maybe because it is in the city centre
The atmosphere around the uni is very homely and together and I feel supported by those around me. The union is always very enjoyable and my only complaint would be the size is a bit too small but the vibe around campus is always great.
I'm enjoying my course, the staff are good however getting a reply outside of lectures sometimes takes a while. The city centre location means there's plenty to do. The halls maintenance team take ages to come and fix issues unfortunately.
I really like the union coffee shops, great place to study, the coffee in roasters is really good as well, friendly staff too

the staff are welcoming and supportive and show an understanding of the student life, however the study buildings such as the learning and teaching building and union could do with more seating areas as finding one is a dailey struggle.

Socially wise it is a great place.
Strathclyde has a perfect mix of a great student experience and life in the city. The services provided by strathclyde are of very high quality. The union is great, serving food throughout the day and offering a good space to have a few drinks at night. Overall my experience at strathclyde has been great!
4.5
I love the community aspect of strathclyde and how much they do for their students in terms of health and well-being, it makes being away from home a lot easier. It could be improved by helping us more in finding jobs whilst we are studying.
I like the lectures, the lecturers are very engaging sometimes the assignments can be tricky and stressful to understand
