I had an excellent accommodation experience here, especially on sunny days when the sunlight streams into the room, it's particularly beautiful. The facilities here are all new and there are many interesting activities. I am very glad that I chose this apartment for the year.
I think Bridle Works is the best private student accommodation in the UK 💜 Most of the staffs are so kind and the rooftop is soooo pretty 🥰 I was able to make friends and play with many facilities 😆 I can drink free coffee on the ground floor and do free laundry in my kitchen everyday. Furthermore, the staffs make good events frequently. A disadvantage is.. internet/wifi. Those could be felt quite slower and more unstable than Korea because these are always fast and stable anywhere in Korea but the British Internet/wi-fi/mobile service is quite slow and unstable😔 Despite all these nice facilities and services, rental fee is also quite cost-effective comparing to another student accommodations ^^
It has been a nice experience and lovely to meet new people. I have faced a number of internet connect issue during my time
very nice and the worker here are nice too
I love course but a little bit tired
Colleen and Irwin as well as Graham are so friendly
This accommodation has been a wonderful choice! The location is incredibly convenient—close to campus with great access to public transport and local amenities. The staff here are friendly, professional, and always responsive to any requests or questions, making it a comfortable and welcoming place to stay. I would highly recommend this residence to anyone looking for a supportive and well-situated living experience.
The staffs are very nice~ environment is pretty good.
I think it's very nice. I love it. There are lots of activities and the front desk is very enthusiastic about helping every resident
so glad to be here. Most things are excellent
Great experience, stunning campus and with a ample space for students in libraries.
The university has a lot of options for you to expand on your skills and interests apart from studies. It cares a lot about your mental health too which is very important.
Nice campus and lovely location, do wish dealing with the different services through the school (like student finance services) was easier. They take forever to respond and when I go to the Fraser building to ask questions in person, often times I get conflicting information. Other than that I've enjoyed my time up here so far
Main study building (James McCune Smith, known as JMS) is somehow both absolutely massive and constantly full. It's often hard to find study spaces.
So far The University of Glasgow has everything I could wish for in my PhD studies.
It is one of the best University in all of the UK
Cairncross is in a great location and I've got good wifi
All ok generally but the university is quite crowded so can be tough getting study space and the wifi can be quite bad
Overall, it's great. Wonderful lecturers, interesting lectures and group discussions. However, most cafés on campus are expensive as hell. Also, some rooms/lecture theaters can be very warm/cold compared to others. Plus, you have to walk a lot there, sometimes a bit too much if you have lectures at the opposite sides of campus one after the other. But it's still very nice.
campus is good societies are varied and of high quality, with friendly and engaging members two student unions with cheap beer and good food, although they're on the periphery of the campus careers service runs careers fare with high profile and desirable exhibitors attending and they also send out emails of current opportunities and part time work eduroam is difficult to connect to and doesn't run well, same can be said about the visitor wifi
Loads of study space locations with high quality amenities and resources. Helps students feel privileged with perks and the career service is welcoming and insightful
Good student job hub, WiFi good but can cut out
I love the Uni of Glasgow. The campus is stunning, there are so many pretty walks nearby, and you’re a stones throw away from the city centre, so night life definitely isn’t an issue! As a dental student, the amount of support I receive is amazing. Everyone is trying to help me with everything. I couldn’t recommend this uni more. It’s the perfect blend of a busy city, and scenic park.
2 university unions (GUU and QMU), both of which had a great deal of stuff every week, and membership for both was free so you could get discounts and stuff at no extra cost! So many clubs and societies to join, not even counting the sport clubs and the university gym! The internet was sometimes tricky, but for how many people are on it, 99/100 it worked and it was always fast. So many facilities on campus for studying, although you may be limited for seats in the popular areas, there's always somewhere you can go, and people get really creative with it. Good careers service, they're always happy to help out, and send emails regularly about new opportunities.
The campus is very nice, however some areas are difficult to find (Adam Smith). There are a lot of societies and many events done by the unions.
The university campus is gorgeous and with all the classes spread out encourages students to move about and explore the offered facilities and societies. The WiFi could always be better though.
It is very easy to get what you need at the University because the campus has all the facilities you may need.
So far, I love everything in Glasgow.
Overall a great uni. They definitely get you working and prepared for life after uni.
Very good experience in the campus
University campus is stunning and pleasant to walk around. Facilities are decent and well equipped
Studying at the University of Glasgow has been an amazing experience. The campus is stunning, with its historic buildings and beautiful green spaces. Academically, the university offers a wide range of programs and the professors are knowledgeable and supportive.
I love my university, it’s top 100 and our campus are beautiful.
I have not found University of Glasgow to be a great experience due to the limited study spaces for the number of students they take on, while still having online classes?? Also there is a lack of support and care for its students. A lot of engineering lecturers have poor teaching skills, even making it difficult to teach yourself with their resources. The union is old fashioned and needs updating. Tuition fees are so high, yet it doesn’t feel like much money goes into improving the student experience.
The resources of career and study are really nice. The first week activities are interesting.
Choosing University of Glasgow is one of the best decisions I made. The faculty, facilities and environment of the University is top notch.
I would like to know a more comprehensive summary of university activities. You know, for Chinese students, we don't often use Instagram, so we miss out on a lot of information about club activities, which makes me quite frustrated.
The university is beautiful and the weather here is comfortable
Is is a wonderful experience being here.
Wonderful campus, and good student societies and union, however the teaching and academic side is greatly lacking, especially in my course. They couldn't give less of a damn about the students if possible.
The University has amazing facilities and services which have helped me as I study my degree, as well as excellent educators and course content.
The University is really good.
Eduroam is the usual but apart from that no complaints! UGRacing is fantastic.
Great facilities, great Lecturers and vibe of the place
I'm international exchange student here, so I can't much compare with other UK Universities, however it is much better quality of everything especially comparing with my home Institution
The campus buildings are well equipped and maintained, although the wifi is a little spotty in some areas.
A very diverse university with a beautiful campus and excellent support systems.
Alright but not amazing. Pastoral support lacking
Im proud to be in the university. Top 100
Everything is good except for the wifi!
Uni wifi is everywhere so its very handy when you are low on wifi
This is a school with a long history, where I deeply realized the cultural heritage of the school. I like every brick and tile here very much, and I will take a camera to record it from time to time.At the same time, teachers and classmates are also very friendly, which makes me more comfortable in my study. I believe that my study in the coming year will be very exciting.
Everyone in the UoG are friendly. They are willing to help me.
Enjoying the university doing medicine, great facilities and teaching. Could work on the parking facilities for commuting students.
The accommodation experience is very good, and it is the most cost-effective student apartment in Glasgow. It is not only very close to the school, but also very affordable. The apartment team is very friendly and the service is particularly good. The facilities are complete and the room is also very large. Thank you for giving me a wonderful starting point for my trip in Glasgow.
I would say Glasgow university is a great place to study and it offers so much and gives a real sense of diversity
I love being a student in a Scottish university!
Everything is good and I appreciate that I can study here

Nice environment. Overall had a great experience
Willowbank located is a super place, with everything you want. It is very convenient as there are two subway station around here, just 5 minutes walking distance. Willowbank looks like a beautiful building and has a lovely countryard. Staffs are friendly and helpful, no matter whay you are looking for, they are always behind and help find solutions. Room has feasible layout and space, and it was quiet at night, you can enjoy a good sleep without any noisy outside. Highly recommended to live here, you will feel like home.
The accommodation is so good, and thanks school
Everything's fine. Hope that oneday I could study my PHD here.
Great university, very prestigious and hospitable
Considering its facility, location, and price, it might be the best student accommodation you can find in Glasgow. Definitely my best decision to choose this accommodation!
Hyndland House provides an exceptional living experience with its excellent location, outstanding property management, impeccable cleanliness, inviting social spaces, vibrant social experience, and reliable internet connection. The staff, including Erwin and Colleen, are incredibly prompt in responding to all the residents' needs, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable stay. Hyndland House is truly a home. We celebrate events from different cultures, mingle with the staff, and enjoy plenty of free food during these moments. I would highly recommend Hyndland House to those studying at the University of Glasgow, particularly students from the Adam Smith Business School.
Would highly recommend uni of Glasgow to anyone
Great university, very social and fun
Amazing people, big room with lovely view. I wish I could stay another year. Ewa and Ali are very helpful and nice.
The uni itself is nice, just kind of standard, what you'd expect.
Wifi often Biggs out in the university buildings and not enough study space generally.
Didn't spend much time on campus. It was nice to look at but none of the societies or events really drew me in (I was a postgraduate student however, so that could have something to do with it.) It was alright in terms of general facilities, such as study areas and wifi.
I have absolutely enjoyed my time here at the University of Glasgow so far. The accommodations are superb and the faculty, custodians, and staff are beyond helpful.
Could have better wifi, but other than that it’s all right
Wonderful experience at the university with a lot of opportunities.
This university is amazing for international students!
i love uofg! wonderful place and love my tutors and professors.
Great University great place to study masters
The school environment is very good, and the teachers, international students from different countries, and senior students are very enthusiastic and helpful
very sophisticated university with good staff
All good, I love the amazing facilities!
Living in the student dormitory has been an exceptional experience for me. The rooms are not only spacious and well-lit, but they are also designed with a keen eye for detail, ensuring that we have ample space for both study and relaxation. The dormitory is equipped with all the necessary amenities that a student could need. The high-speed Wi-Fi connection ensures that I can complete my assignments and research without any interruptions. The common areas are always clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable environment for both socializing and studying. One of the highlights of living here is the sense of community. The dormitory organizes regular events that help us to get to know our fellow residents better, fostering a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect among us. The location of the dormitory is another major plus point. It is conveniently located close to the university of Glasgow, making it easy for us to get to our classes on time. There are also plenty of shops and
Love my experience at UoG, the people and professors are wonderful. Some of the buildings are a nightmare to navigate but you get used to it.
Nice place to live in. The environment is very nice!
Ballet is definitely the best value for money and comfortable student apartment in Glasgow! Beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows, comfortable sofa mattresses, spacious bathrooms and kitchens, a variety of activities and the most kind, warm and friendly staff, living in ballet is really the right decision for me to come here! Highly recommended!
This flat offers a high cost-performance ratio!
Everything is great. One of the best beautiful university over the world.
great but the weather is not charming
Good but a bit awkward for travel
Lovely staff who are always available to help you with any issues ❤️
Overall good. Staffs are helpful Livid environment is good!
