The support for disability sucks but everything else is on
main campus super big!! time table is good
Bad wifi and disability support. The students representative council are great though
So glad I chose this uni have made amazing friends
My experience on campus has been alright nothing has especially stood out
I had an amazing experience at the University of Glasgow. The campus is absolutely stunning, blending historic architecture with modern facilities. The libraries and study spaces are top-notch, providing a quiet and conducive environment for both individual and group work. The staff and professors are knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely care about student success. I also appreciated the variety of extracurricular activities available—there’s always something to get involved in, whether it’s academic, cultural, or social. The university is also perfectly located, with easy access to the heart of Glasgow, offering a perfect balance of city life and campus tranquility. Overall, a fantastic institution that offers a high-quality education and a vibrant student experience!
Huge range of sociteies which have all been very welcoming and friendly, beautiful campus with so many study spots, reliable wifi in every building.
I have been enjoying my stay at KHG. Its quiet, clean and room is actually worth the money.
Love University of Glasgow so far! The campus is beautiful and so many great study spots and places to eat lunch etc. The variety of clubs and societies are amazing however my only issue with some are how expensive they are. I play football and to be apart of that society we are required to pay for a full year gym membership which was £175 alongside the £50 fee to join the club which is £225 altogether which is crazy and not great when trying to budget in rent and groceries nevermind a gym membership you don’t want. However the facilities and the societies themselves are great and a great way to make new friends the only bad thing to say is the price. The SU is good fun and there’s lots of things on all the time. Careers team is great, I got my part time job through one of their part time jobs fair which was amazing!!
Its good, not amazing nie bad.
Really liked the campus’s and its facilities
Good apartment! Staffs are very nice and friendly😊
Beautiful campus and also fairly easy to get around in foot.
Overall, I enjoy the University of Glasgow :)
I’ve been here for not too long but it’s great so far

I love my uni, the study spaces are good, but I feel like they should have nap spaces as well
I always go to classes with my friends who live in the same building with me, which makes me feel good.
University of Glasgow is beautiful!!!
Old building and poor wifi connection.
beautiful and great. I have a lot of good memories here.
All in all a very good place to study. However some lectures English is extremely difficult to understand, as someone born and raised in the UK.
Very good vibes, friendly atmosphere with loads of social events and opportunities to make good friends :)
Very good university. Lecturers are very friendly and willing to help
I've truly enjoyed my time living in this dormitory. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it feel like a second home. The rooms are clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed to provide both comfort and functionality. The common areas are spacious and perfect for socializing or studying in a relaxed environment. What I appreciate most is the sense of community here – it’s easy to connect with others, and the management is always responsive and helpful. Whether you’re looking for a quiet place to focus or a friendly environment to make memories, this dorm has it all. Highly recommended! Yuge Ma
Campus is nice and buildings are good for studying, library is constantly full during exam season, the clubs are fun especially the sports team and the union do a good job at making events
Please choose the University of Glasgow, you won't regret it!
The living experience is quite good. It's a bit far from the school, but very close to the supermarket.The elevator and Wi-Fi in the apartment are always breaking down, which has caused some inconvenience.Living here is a good choice, but not the best one.
Very good school, very good staff and lecturers.
I love studying here but wish societies were more welcoming and open
I really like this university. The teachers are really kind and they all like to help you with any questions
Great university, can’t complain about anything really.
Beautiful campus and historical architecture. Big clubs are usually very social, such as the Boxing Society. I would say that Careers services offers many learning events but high quality events are hard to find.
I’d highly recommend the University of Glasgow to any potential students. It is a strong choice because of the academic experience, vibrant student life, and great location. It can be an ideal choice for students who want to have a dynamic university experience and can be an excellent place for both personal and academic growth.
Best choice！ Staff is really nice！
incredibly beautiful campus that gives you good exercise!
Fine accommodation, Cairncross was better though
Loving uni so far, great study buildings and the staff are really good, particularly at responding to emails!! I’m really enjoying my course so far.
It has been an exciting experience as I have made many friends from different backgrounds and the workload has been good and engaging with my topics. It has been fun to study a subject that I am interested in.
wifi can drop off sometimes but you can usually get back on prertty quick
The union is great- beer bar is lovely and the campus is great for socialising and studying
Fanstastic opportunities and support.
It’s a good university but cold up here
For amenities it's good,staffs are friendly just improve the security please
lovely space, poor wifi at times and hard to connect
Gym facilities are poor. Could be much better. Always loose WiFi connection in the JMS building. Very annoying. Other than that great stuff.
The university is so diverse in courses and the facilities are all great. There is a broad range of sports and societies for everyone
its generally awright thats what i would say on that matter
It’s very good and very close to university of Glasgow
very nice, the pubkic area is very clean and staffs are very kind. I really like the environment of this house very much! such a great experience. I enjoyed this apartment very much
Nice environment, nice construction
Nice and see you next year! Hope we have nice 2yr in the place.
I really enjoyed studying around campus as the facilities available were really robust and it wasn’t difficult finding a space to study. The student portal also provided information about the availability of study spaces, which was really helpful.
An excellent university with a range of societies and events. Lectures can varying in quality by my dedicated course lectures were excellent. Very welcoming to LGBTQ students
The dormitory gave me a good experience, the environment is quiet everyday, there are two supermarkets nearby to make my life very convenient, 15 to 20 minutes away from the school. Usually have any problems the staff will be very active to help solve!
I really appreciate the facilities and the convenience of the campus and I wish I could find a seat during the exam week.
Good good seating spaces in buildings can be improved further
Overall is good. WiFi is confusing sometimes.
Glasgow University is so beautiful and scenic. The campus is right next to great western and buyers road which have so many nice shops and cafes. There are a huge variety of clubs and societies to join, something for everyone.
I love this uni, so glad I worked hard to get into it!
university of glasgow has a wide range of activities for students to participate in
One of the best UK Uni Campuses, internet is pretty bad though. Everything else is flawless.
Great experience,, great university
good apartment,really worth a recommendation
Good university, wifi runs like a potato sometimes tho
I really enjoy studying here, the architecture is always on my way to stop and shoot, and the classrooms are well equipped. At the same time, there is plenty of learning space so that I can concentrate on completing my learning tasks in the Learning Hub
An overall excellent campus experience with a great variety of clubs, societies, and events.
I am currently studying in Glasgow and the student accommodation I live in is very cosy and the staff are very friendly
Amazing experience so far. All services available and staff is always present for any trouble or queries.
love the place great people love
Nice place to live, although sometimes there is a problem.
Good love it .warm if I have another chance, I will select it again
I enjoy studying at the University of Glasgow because it has a beautiful atmosphere. However, I believe it lacks opportunities for diverse individuals. While I don't want to make a big issue out of it, it's unfortunate that there is still a lecturer who seems to be somewhat racist towards students.
The campus is architecturally beautiful but the facilities could be better
Experience has been alright. Good extra curricular activities and top class educational facilities.
I am studying for my MBA at the University of Glasgow, and it has been a great experience so far. The program is well-structured, combining theory with practical learning, which helps me develop the skills I need for the business world. I also enjoy working with classmates from different countries, as it gives me new perspectives and helps me learn about other cultures. The professors are well experienced, knowledgeable and always ready to help. The university provides good support services and has excellent facilities. Living in Glasgow is also a highlight because it’s a lively city with a lot to offer. I would recommend the University of Glasgow to anyone looking for a strong academic program in a friendly environment.
I like the welcoming community and hospitality. I also love the library its my favorite part of the University.
I travelled to Glasgow University because it provided all the information on its website I needed to make an informed decision. My course seemed exactly what I was looking for in terms of opportunities and experiences. Now that I am studying here I couldn't be more happy with the new friends I have met, the accommodation it provided and of course its online facilities available to all students.
Exciting experience with new dynamic as the day goes by.
Glasgow university is probably one of the best Universities. The only catch is when you hear the word "change" and it's related to academics. Although it will always be a fun experience.
Living at Tramworks has been amazing with its clean, comfortable environment. Reception Tony has been incredibly helpful and supportive, always ready to assist with any needs. Highly recommend!
the first semester is very good.
It’s very good for me! Every day is good
I feel that the professors in our School of Social Sciences are truly amazing. They are incredibly patient in answering all my questions and clearing up my doubts, which has made my learning experience much smoother. Moreover, our university is exceptionally beautiful, and every time I attend class, it feels as if I’ve stepped into a magical world.
I am not familiar with clubs and student union. But the Uni Gym, library and eco-hub are all great places for me xxx
Positive: lovely new buildings, easy to walk around, good food in the Unions cafe. A lot of support and societies to join. Amazing views in the taller buildings. Negative: not enough study spaces, older buildings are very hard to navigate. So many international students that dont speak fluent english and make group works difficult (no support when this happen in my courses).
The campus has good facilities, and Wi-Fi is available around the building and campus. However, the strange thing is that all my electronic devices connect well except for my phone. If your major has on-campus exams, you might have several courses with exam times that are very close to each other. In addition, some exam venues (such as Kelvin Hall and the Scottish Event Campus) are not part of the university campus, so it's advisable to familiarise yourself with the locations in advance to ensure you can find the correct venue on exam day.
It's a really good university with lots of support and help available, most of the staff are really kind and helpful. There are so many societies and sports clubs, there's something for everyone and you're guaranteed to find something you enjoy. I've made so many good friends from the societies I've joined, it's so worth it to get involved! My only complaints are with the Wifi, it's hard to get logged in at first and it sometimes goes down for periods at a time; and in the popular study spaces it can be difficult to get a space sometimes during term / busy periods
It is good, the academic atmosphere is strong, and the amenities are very convenient
The school provides excellent academic programs, experienced and supportive teachers, and a wide range of extracurricular activities. The campus is well-equipped and fosters a positive learning environment. It’s a great place for personal and academic growth. Highly recommended!
This apartment exceeded my expectations! The rooms are spacious, bright, and well-equipped, with everything clean and tidy. The location is incredibly convenient, with supermarkets, restaurants, and public transportation nearby. The staff are very friendly and responsive, quickly addressing any issues. Overall, it was a fantastic living experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, safe, and great-value place to stay!
Good experience here! I really enjoy here
All the facilities are perfect. It's just like home! Staffs here are soooo friendly. Really like this place!
Very good check-in experience, very good socializing, this apartment is very good, very good, super unbeatable, good location, convenient shopping, value for money, good network, very friendly, I really like living here
I feel incredibly lucky to be a student at the University of Glasgow. I am deeply honored to be part of such an institution. The university is a perfect example of how the environment and care provided can shape not only how students feel about their classes but also about themselves. Thank you for creating such a supportive and inspiring atmosphere.
The University is academically great, but a lot of other facilities need urgent attention. Cleanliness in study spaces and toilets is a major concern, University accommodation is over-priced and as far as career service goes, international students are left high and dry.
I’m really glad I chose to study at the University of Glasgow. The campus is outstanding, offering state-of-the-art facilities that make both studying and relaxing easy and enjoyable. The variety of clubs and societies provides great opportunities to meet new people, pursue hobbies, and stay active outside of academics. The Students' Union is a real highlight – it’s organised, vibrant, and full of fun activities. The support available from the Careers Service is excellent, with dedicated guidance to help with placements, further studies, or finding graduate jobs. Lastly, the Wi-Fi and internet access across the campus is perfect, ensuring that I can always stay connected for both studying and entertainment. Overall, the University of Glasgow has provided me with an incredible university experience.
I have felt extremely welcome at the university of Glasgow. The campus has a mix of modernity and history, and is close to a variety of different shops and restaurants, and includes a number of different places to study.
Fantastic experience and supportive staff inclusive teachers
