Great university with great facilities the lectures are all lovely and will help with everything you need
great uni almost made it to second year.
Great university would definitely recommend
a pleasant studying experience, i would say the social aspect is more challenging but societies are always a really good way to find friends.
A lovely campus however in some lecture halls the wifi is bad
the rooms are quite small & cramped but the lecturers are nice
Good Uni but don’t enjoy the seats app having the constant pressure to log attendance all the time. Excellent clubs and some great staff members.
The University of Glasgow has a conducive space for studying in its different infrastructures. It lacks when it comes to the relationship between advisers and students also it has veey long processing periods when performing administrative tasks which is very stressful and time wasting. Apart from what has been mentioned I feel it is good place study and student friendly.
The student union is a mess and there are basically no clubs or societies but the teaching is good and you get the vibe that all the staff actually care about you and if you pass
Lovely staff and the clubs are very good. Student union could be open later and have events on in it.
The university is a beautiful campus with lots of places to study, have a bite or go for a walk. I have found the Wifi is not the best although the platforms they use are great to highlight assignments, readings, etc. I have not joined any societies however there is a ton to see. I have wants to go to GCU since I was a first year in college and Have enjoyed thus far.
It was good there were a lot of amenities
Felt exceptionally good and the service was excellent, would recommend to close friends!
Everything is perfect , The facilities in the apartment are perfect and the ktv is perfect. I hope to have a Halloween party
Staff very welcoming - Good facilities
It is a wonderful experience being here
A great university with a beautiful campus and resources
Campus offers a wide variety of study resources and and student help with many educational opportunities but also personal and mental health support facilities.
Great, modern (albeit small) University.
During the year I have stayed here, I have no complaints, staff is very friendly and helpful which I think is the most important thing, the rooms are great and the amenities are also very much amazing
Excellent location, lecturers are really friendly and helpful.
love it!! so many places to explore!
Caledonian is a decent experience but I find the university to be lacklustrer
Staff where amazing, especially Gary who was always there when needed and he was so accommodating
Really great location - close links to transportation and shops. Helpful staff. The rooms themselves are pretty small but cover the basics for the most part. The heating is fantastic - I always feel warm and comfortable in my room. I also love the floor to ceiling windows that allow a lot of natural light to stream in. My only complaint is that some of the rooms don't include a kitchen table which is inconvenient. The bar table is far too small especially if you have a guest over for dinner. I usually have to eat at my study desk which isn't ideal. Overall, however, I'd say the accommodation is decent.
I like this apartment very much. The front desk is very friendly.
Really helpful staff and the campus is lovely. Close to transport links as well for commuters.
University of Glasgow. It’s funny that one of the reasons I chose this uni is Harry Potter’s vibes!
I've enjoyed my student life here.
Lmao what would I even say. It's a uni
Helpful teacher and staff, caring and warm
Provides good academic support. However some administrative tasks are slow paced and require patience to deal with
very accepting and supportive uni
Nice, clean university. Good facilities.
This accommodation is perfect, the rooms are so clean and have lots of space. The kitchens have lots of room and all the utilities you need. The staff here are so friendly and are always happy to help or even just have a chat with. If your looking for the perfect place, Canvas is all over it.
Very Good University.,course is good, runs well
Amazing exeprience at cali uni
My experience at Caledonian is very limited but I have enjoyed my time there
Inclusive environment, everything you could ever need support wise
Helpful staff that are always willing to help

Good cultural blend with excellent student support.

Good university with proper student support
Glasgow Caledonian University is a great university especially for nursing students. Support is fab.
In a good location, close to the city centre
good uni some classes aren’t prepared will but depends on the department, union isn’t tht cheap, the food is decent in the canteen and the wifi doesn’t work for everyone
One of the more affordable universities with good reputation rankings in the UK
I have really enjoyed my time at GCU - good support for courses
Good university and right in the city centre so great for going out
The university is amazing! Great lecturers and great choice of subjects to study!
Good uni, in a prime location in the centre
Having a really great time at the GCU. Instructors are knowledgeable and helpful
GCU has very big students society that shares a lot of communities and traditions. The learning experience is much appreciated and the staff are very supportive. I think I had done the right choice by selecting to study at GCU.
There is always positive and negatives but it can be improved. Especially facilities such as library closing time and it’s not 24hr.
Great location and campus, library is great with plenty of computers and spaces to be able to study
The staff is really supportive and helpful. Highly recommended.
its a great place,very nice!!!!
it is a great and lovely place to study！
Pretty decent uni, great modern campus and good location being right next to a major bus terminal.
I'm a fourth year student, been here a long time I've never had an issue with the university everything has always been right at the front of my door. Very helpful team and facilities
Very helpful staff and engaging experience
Great experience at dobbies with Particularly great staff in Maria, Ani and Natasha who are hardworking and friendly..(Glasgow Caledonian university)
Needs better Wi-Fi in library, but good other than that
All round great place to go to! Such an amazing campus with all round great staff and lectures that are very helpful and informative.
Uni is in a great location and has lovely facilities. Library is great
Very good location, library is excellent
it's been good so far, very few in-person classes cuz covid tho
The facilities here are amazing, library and gym open everyday. Campus is easy to navigate around and staff are helpful
Good Uni, good courses and good people
in a first year at Glasgow Caledonian University and have loved it. friendly staff and amazing library facility
all the nursing lectures are incredibly informative and easy to understand
Although there are many facilities and societies, I still found I did not get much support in the first term. However, through module evaluations the uni was able to take these complaints and fix these for the next term.
Not enough in person but hopefully will be better next year lecturers are lovely and the staff are all kind and the campus is good. Library is amazing. 100% recommend joining as many society’s as you can!!! Work load is okay
Not in very often due to covid
My experience with the school so far has been good. Have not had the chance to try lots of the facilities.
It’s a good uni very nice looking
Has some of the most amazing facilities and the staff are engaging and easy to talk to. I have learned invaluable skills throughout my time here and I am sad to be graduating
i like the uni but i do feel they have very high standards for their marketing that isn’t reflected in the teaching
i love it so much it’s really great
Good uni but not compared to other unis that do so much w their societys
The tutors and the student services/advisors are phenomenal.
I am disappointed that I’m only on campus 1 day a week it meant it was really hard to make friends. If it wasn’t for my accommodation I’d have no life
i love it, having the best time !
Great place and like my time here so far.
Really enjoying life so far at GCU, really good staff who are committed to making your experience great. So much support offered.
A bright and modern campus, which has a generous size library. Most of the staff are engaging towards the subject matter and you can see their passion, however, some staff members do favor helping a few particular individuals. The career department is adequate however, due to covid-19 I didn't practically use any of the services available, how could I?
Great uni, can't wait to get back on campus.
I love Glasgow Cali, staff sometimes take a while to reply to concerns but otherwise staff are kind and facilities are great
The university has amazing library in which you can either chill with friends or study during the breaks
This university is great and has a varied blended teaching approach which can accommodate students from all walks of life!
Campus is very nice as everything is all crammed up together. Student union could definitely be improved as it seems quite outdated. Club and societies are ok, I tried to be part of a specific society but wasn't accepted due to discrimination - same thing happened at Strathclyde University (I used to go there as well)
Best experience for students and especially internationals. Great faculty and quality learning for all educational departments.
It is based in town and quite handy for the international students who like living in a lively area.
Fantastic university! The campus is wonderful and modern. It has great facilities and is beautiful. Very sad that I was not visit the campus more often because of the pandemic. My experience on my Digital Design course has been fantastic but that's specific to my programme. Have heard good things from other courses though.
The university is a great place to learn. I do hope however we can get back into skills labs soon and it is important for my course
