Very fun and good Lots of great opportunities and societies- one to suit everyone I’ve found all lecturers great and online resources are hard to beat. The course leaders really just want the best for you
My experience has been varied whilst studying and I would be lying if I said that it hasn’t been hard at times. I have managed to get to where I am now though and will hopefully be able to progress through the course okay. The uni itself have been good at accommodating for issues out with university which always helps. I have made good friends also and being part of a club definitely helps this.
It was not what I expected. There is a lot of studying and new responsibilities, especially when you live alone and far from home. We are adults now, and I love it.
Despite having a tough time and taking academic suspension for two years I have thoroughly enjoyed my time. I have made the best friends and have an amazing support network and I feel ready to take on the future
Been very good so far, feel like the department cares about my personal development and encourages the students to achieve what they are working for. University is good
It's been interesting as I've not met that many people but I've still gotten to know some through sports and labs. The amount of spare time given feels silly as I can be sitting there at 4 and have no clue what I should be doing.
I've recently started my 2nd year and overall my experience at university has been fantastic! There is plenty of help from lecturers and everyone is super friendly, would highly recommend to join strathclyde university.
It's been great! 1st year wasn't so good as I was in halls and didn't get along so well with my flatmates, but 2nd year was great and so far 3rd year is going well, and I've had a lot of support to help with applying for placement jobs.
Overall Strathclyde university has been an excellent place to study. Their commitment to investment is evident and is having a huge impact on their success. I am proud to be a student at this university and have no concerns about employment opportunities after completing my degree.
That kind of experience that you see in movies. I really enjoy being here and having this opportunity to study. Life here it's not that cheap but you can adapt using your students benefits. Example this app: To good to go!
So far it's been good. I'm really enjoying the course & the social aspects too. Made some great friends on the same course as me. Definitely better this year than last year.
It has been great! I have loved my course and met some great friends!I have joined in some of the recreational teams and joined the gym. Got great use of the library for during exams and when there has been group projects. The pharmacy society also has lots of events which have always been great fun and a good way to meet other people on the course.
Overall I have had a very good experience with no complaints. I have had helpful feedback and have enjoyed meeting new people and having the opportunity to learn new skills.
Uni is amazing! It takes a while to adjust but it is so great to be in control of your own life. It feels so great to learn from mistakes and be independent. I have made so many good friends and there have been so many great laughs already!!!
Overall I'd give it a solid, students are nice so that's cool. I'd honestly give the university a 3/10 overall, but folk have good craic.
It has been great, however I wish I had more time for social life and hobbies that I don't have now due to work responsibilities. I have learnt a lot and hopefully I will take my knowledge further onto my postgraduate studies
The learning experience has been fantastic in some areas with great lectures and key points are explained clearly. But some classes, with the structure and delivery of the module content can make it a nightmare to understand and follow key concepts.
Good First year of uni is not very useful Some classes are irrelevant/ repetitive Good opportunities to travel such as Erasmus, and education related volunteering trips e.g Malawi
It's been amazing, I've had a lot of great times here and since my first day I've loved it. The classes are interesting and even the ones that aren't that compelling are made fun because you can feel the lecturers' passion for their subject and it really gets you engaged.


I have really enjoyed it so far and I am looking forward to continuing my education and university life at Strathclyde. I would recommend to a lot of people that if possible they do stay in halls because this has made meeting people so much easier and has definitely been the highlight of my experience so far
Yss it's location is perfect. Although when it comes to looking for accommodation in later years it is likely to be more expensive as it is in the center of town
Incredible range of societies and sports available. As well the opportunity to create your own

Safety, location and roughly the cost of the accomodation are appropriate. We have a brilliant first aid trained security team on campus who we can depend on. Strathclyde halls are on campus so this is very helpful and it is right next to the center of town for access to shops etc. However the conditions of the halls are poor, in Thomas Campbell and Birkbeck to say the least. Mould on the walls, fungus growing underneath, water damage etc. We can only be thankful that there has been a rent freeze but even still it's not exactly worth where we are living
