Great lecturers, very happy to help explain things, will go out their way to help anyone. Building is getting a facelift, facilities already good and getting better. Paisley town is lacking in things to do and shops, but is improving.

5 years ago, I would never have thought I'd be at university, especially being in my 30's and yet here I am trainjng to be a nurse! Best decision I ever made. Lecturers are great support, course is enjoyable and I've made friends for life.

The university has a nice atmosphere and is open to all people from all walks of life. It could use some updating across some of the campuses excluding the Ayr campus.

Great widening access university that has provided me excellent support in my subject choices and facilitated invaluable opportunities in research. The courses and lecturers are great. Accommodation was not great in previous Halls. New halls are good but over priced

I've enjoyed my time at this uni so far. The lecturers have all been very knowledgable and willing to help at all costs. Students lack motivation however to get involved in extracurricular activities, this could be due to the majority of students travelling to and from campus from other towns though.
