University of Glasgow

Campus is beautiful and next to Kelvingrove park. 2 unions that host lots of events but the Glasgow University Union (GUU)'s Beer Bar is where you want to be. Career services can be easily found and accessible but the library, despite the size, is an absolute nightmare for finding seats during exam season.

Great uni, great location. Some departments are poorly organised. Lots of societies and clubs lots of students from lots of cultures

University of Glasgow is a well recognised successful university! The courses are well structured with much support received from lectures and staff.

Glasgow School of Art part of the GU associated institutions provided great opportunity to explore and develop cross disciplinary skills through the environment and set up of courses. Though disorganised in parts the experience that it provides and connections that can be created are fantastic and really allow for the blossoming of innovative ideas.

University is located in the most beautiful part of the city and the campus looks lovely. An amazing and cozy place to be a part of. My courses of film&tv + philosophy were interesting, not always the best but still thought provoking and broadening my mind. One of the best decision in my life was coming here. I'm not involved with unions but it seems that they are doing a great job.

The campus has a few dull brown buildings that are an eyesore, but the Harry Potter-eque main Halls are the University's saving grace. The gym facilities are amazing, and the revamped library seems a lot more organised than before. QMU and GUU are both great student unions to join, and both have a lot to offer. The course I am taking - Veterinary Medicine - is engaging, stimulating and challenging, and also very rewarding.

Beautiful campus with great facilities, my course is intellectually stimulating and very enjoyable with good lecturers and lab leaders who make it fun. Advising team are lovely but could be more helpful when it comes to offering advice regarding mental health difficulties as they were a bit dismissive when I went to them however they do have a great counselling service that any student can use for free and they are very helpful

Good facilities for engineering. required software's are all provided and easily accessible. Lecturers are all leaders in their field with excellent knowledge and interesting research. Could provide more practical opportunities for hands on learning. Unions and societies are excellent and very inclusive.

The university grounds are great and location is prime. Sports and recreation is top class. Course choice in later years for mechanical engineering was limited however. Library becomes very crowded but other buildings are less busy

The university campus is tightly packed which is good when you need to rush between lecture buildings, and the amount of study spaces in the library, the reading room, and the Fraser building are great and you can usually always find a seat - even in exam season. The glasgow University Union is great for hive nights and beer bar and always has great events on that aren’t too pricey.

Being at Glasgow has been an invaluable life experience for me, and ultimately I wouldn’t change my decision to come here for university. However, within my departments there have been shortcomings to my education which I feel could have easily been rectified, however haven’t been due to some staff. Organisation of final year students has been particularly bad in this academic year (2017/18). As well as this, the strike action and weather disruption was particularly badly handily by staff in regards to treatment of students. The attitudes and actions by some, and not all lecturers, come across as very self serving. This is not to say I don’t support lecturers in their right to strike. I ultimately just have serious problems with the way in which staff have used and dealt with their students during this industrial action, which ultimately I feel has damaged their relationships with students.

Iam lucky to study in such a privileged uni and under privileged teachers...although my household problem affected my studies in alot of ways but m very thankful to everybody who taught me in this uni. The experience had been great fr me.

Good overall facilities and support for students. Some excellent lecturers who are often willing to offer support for struggling students especially at exam time.

Great campus and fun uni. Study Mechanical Engineering. Great but in later years subject choice was limited

The campus facilities are amazing, and the library has everything you could ever wish for - just sometimes it gets a bit too crowded. The gym is amazing too, and the price to join is very reasonable. There is a possibility to get involved in any kind of sport.

The University of Glasgow is a spanning campus with a wide range of varied class options, as well as lots of societies and events to suit everyone's needs. With all of this activity there is a lot of support for individuals, however the vastness and fast paced basis of the site and teaching means it is very easy to get lost amongst the crowd.

Stunning campus. Studying law, students have great fun in and out of lectures. Luckily Glasgow has two unions so there’s Lots of choice, both have loads of events, including the Daft friday extravaganza. The internship hub have helped me get an internship at citizens advice.

Overall my experience at UofG has been great, I have loved my courses and the social life! Biggest negative is the organisational skills of many tutors and staff are abysmal.

Big campus, greAt for meeting people! Lots of societies very helpful to meet people, course too packed, too much to do

The university is great. There is so much to do both for learning and entertainment. The campus is large with many facilities and is easily sign posted. It also looks stunning and the location is like no other. It is close to many shops and pubs which is very important for us students. There are good transport links along with cyclig racks and car parks. There are great hotspots to meet your friends and very friendly staff! My course is very intellectually stimulating with really nice lecturers and tutors. This makes the overall experience so much better! There union makes you very engaged in the uni life along with the student bar and activities. Overall it has been really great.

Amazing opportunities and very well put together course (vet Bioscience). Choice of two good unions and a lot of support services. Great sport facilities. So much university research. In such a busy city. Careers service helpful thoughout your time at university and great website for opertunities. Overall set you up really well for graduating.

The overall 1st year experience has been a positive one , however this is not down to the excellence of the University, instead more general reasons. The campus is beautiful but quite spread out and is very awkward to try to get from one building to another on the other side of campus in under 10 minutes. Also the library is constantly too full to get work done on a computer. However the book selection there is excellent and the librarians are extremely helpful. The GUU is significantly better than QMU in terms of atmosphere and nightlife however the Hive Clubnight plays awful, saturated chart music.

Glasgow university is a beautiful uni! With great tutors, facilities and sports facilities I would recommend it to anyone thinking of going. However there is minimal contact time with many courses and not as many assignments for the money we pay which is disappointing. Learning at such a historic university with great scholars partly balances out the issues previously discussed. Also Glasgow is a great city for any student to study and explore.

I have had such a positive experience at my university in Glasgow. It is easy to make friends here, which I have noticed as a student moving here from Finland. The campus is beautiful, it looks like Hogwarts. The Glasgow University Union is the best! So many fun events and such a good place to spend time with your friends. My course is English Literature and I've found it very interesting. All in all, I love it here.
