Do not live on campus but can't say overall.

Fantastic university - beautiful campus, excellent lecturers and interested research opportunities. My time at Stirling was amazing and I will remember it for the rest of my life. I was given so many opportunities, curricular and extra-curricular; I wish I had appreciated them more when I was there.
For most of my time here it has been great, I have made some fantastic friends and would definitely say its changed my life positively. Usually it is safe and welcoming here although on some occasions there are some incidents such as racism and sexual harassment, which the uni could have dealt better with. I love my course but do really worry about getting a job afterwards! I would say it's not an essential experience at all but if you do come here make sure you join in with clubs and societies, you meet people just like you!
Really enjoying university. The campus here is beautiful. the support from tutors are amazing and really good. tutors are always happy to help and they reply quickly to emails. Accommodation is ok. Although remembering your university email is a pain !
Stirling is small but great, the campus is amazing and I'm never bored despite coming from a large city. I've made some life long friends and I'm so happy I made this uni my firm choice, absolutely love it here.
I am very much enjoying my time and efforts here at Stirling university, the course is well organised and structured and the tutors put alot of detial into their lectures. The accommodation was awful but it is gradually improving which is good. The city life is good, quiet and small, but good. The facilities offered here are absolutely amazing!
Course is not one bit organised.. I'd expect alot more for �9000 Never lived in halls, they seem okay. The city is average, some nice food places though.
A really good uni which facilities compliment my course pretty well, the teachers are understanding and patient, hardworking and always willing to put in the time and effort for you. Lots of activities to get involved with here, personally I do alot of sports but there is literally something for everyone here, get involved and remember to enjoy yourself!
I really like the people who help to organise and run student support services, they are lovely people, so caring and give brilliant advice! My room has paper thin walls... I can hear everything, yes that's everything. pePlease improve this, some decent heating would be great aswell. campus is stunning, I love ducks!
Good university. I feel safe and welcome usually however some sports teams I am involved with can often be vindictive. My lectures are very helpful and approachable. The accommodation is very expensive and unaffordable but living off campus is fine. It's a small city with everything you need in it. The union is great and they get stuff done! Although avoid sport services if you can.
The campus has great scenty and is spacious. However, I am moving unis as it is too quiet and feel I could get a more in depth and higher level of education elsewhere. It has good sports facilities but thats about it. I would not recommend you coming here for a social lit outside sports, and the quality of teaching is better at other institutions.
I am enjoying my university experience so far. The lectures and course are brilliant. The course is good. The university gives you good support and help when needed.
My lectures are ace, thopportunities at the uni are great and topics are usually related to my main area of interest which is good.Having George Ezra making an appearance at the uni has been life changing. In all seriousness, the university is of a gold standard. There's a great range of sports and the union is cheap, the quality of the accommodation needs improvement, its a mess.
Be prepared to mingle, don't be afraid of joining as many clubs as possible- its the best way to interact and meet new people.
Enjoying being at university here. Classes are interesting. The most important piece of advice I would give someone is to go to all lecturers and avoid falling behind, but don't miss on on being social, as that is an important part of university, and having a central campus is great for this.
I really enjoy university. My course is fantastic, my lecturers are really helpful and I have made lots of friends. I am enjoying it all, make sure you do too.
My uni experience has been great, I have met so many amazing new people and living alone has been great! Don't even consider living in Spittal Hill it's so mouldy that I often get chest infections, apart from that its awesome!
I enjoy being here at Stirling, it's pretty and I have made alot of friends. However there are so many aspects which could be improved, such as help with finding off campus accommodation, space to study in the library and basic facilities such as the food outlets and shops.


My overall uni experience so far has been great as I have met friends for life and have also met my Girlfriend whom I’ve now known for 2 years. It’s a great place to interact with people from various backgrounds whilst pursuing your degree and helps you realize what it is like living in your own and with balancing finances.
The city life is great. It is a way of getting out and helps taking your mind off of your studies and to destress. Also great to have lunch as there are a great amount of restaurant and various cousins and coffee shops in town
There are various clubs and societies which fit the role of every student. It really depends what you are interested in, but primarily ranges from sports clubs to whiskey tasting societies which is a great way of socializing and meeting new people as well as making friends and contacts for life.
