The teaching and class activity is poorly organised. Not suitable for studying here!
A great uni, with great courses and staff
Excellent campus and facilities.
Pretty good but haven't had the chance to be on campus much
Currently, in my second year of my bachelor's degree and not a pleasant experience due to remote classes and all, certain crucial information gets lost as a lot of teachers do not respond to students' emails. Hope it gets better in my future years of study.
Really vibrant social atmosphere as there is such a mix of people from across the country. Not too boarding school dominated compared to similar top tier universities. Amazing learning spaces such such as the brand new learning hub. There is definitely a strong academic sense among students; people do care about their degree. At least much more than I would of thought for undergraduate level. Couldn’t recommend highly enough! Great options for nights out ie variation on clubs and live music bars.
Big campus with lots of study space. Can be a bit confusing to find your way about when you first start but you get used to it quickly
The university campus is simply amazing with a mix of old and new buildings. The new Learning Hub is fantastic with lots of spaces for study. There are over 300 clubs but most of them are focused on undergrads but are not exclusive to them. Computer Science Department has good faculty and a decent student support system. The student unions are very active and hold events regularly. There is a club for every sport but most of them require a university sports membership to join which I feel is inconvenient (and expensive). WiFi is available throughout the campus although its strength varies between buildings. Career Service holds regular workshops and masterclasses and also keeps us informed about placement opportunities.
Haven’t been on campus a lot, only about two days a week, so don’t really have much to say. But looking forward to working on campus throughout next semester!
Hogwarts in real life! Excellent campus, great Learning Hub, good teachers.
The university is helpful and there are a lot of facilities.
It's frustrating that we have to pay to join societies on top of the 50k pounds I am paying the uni every year. I am a student..we are poor
It's an amazing school, and does a lot to help international students.
Really good university! Wifi is decent but the other amenities makeup for it
Lots of good facilities, WiFi is good and university has lots of green spaces
The best choice of University. Ever.
Excellent student support from lecturers and student support officers, outstanding campus building and facilities, great welcoming community feel for freshers which the University has clearly put a lot of effort into encouraging with events and such.
University of Glasgow is a well-known top ranked university world-wide. Students would experience the best study quality courses while also keeping their social/entertainment activities balanced within their timetable.
We don't have any offline class, I wish we can study in the classroom.
I am satisfied with UofG besides the faculty members. Some of them are so slow in replying email or being helpful in caring students' concern. My Good Cause has been waived for 3 months without any final decision. What kind of efficiency is that?
Lacklustre communication from the uni and unsatisfying covid updates
The campus is amazing! I really enjoy my time wandering around the school :)
Inspiring, amazing university.
Amazing campus, really good study materials
It's great, I'm really happy to study here.
Great place to study, very good academic support.
Nice campus with good view of nature
Tricky year in the circumstances, just felt like you were teaching yourself the course no matter how much you used the resources given. I enjoyed the course though but was hard to make friends on course.
Very good library facilities. Modern and comfortable campuses.
Couldn't go into campus all year but got my degree
Can’t fault anything honestly, always a laugh
I am very pleased with my living experience during my Masters programme here at Merchant Studios. It is a very clean and tidy building and the staff are extremely helpful and welcoming. Any time there has been a problem or issue I needed help with the staff were eager to get it fixed ASAP. Also, the building is only approximately 2 minutes from the university of Strathclyde, and 5 mins from Glasgow city centre! It has made my experience here extremely rewarding and I’ve been able to walk everywhere as everything is in such close proximity. I would definitely recommend anybody to stay here during their studies and I would definitely come back! Thanks.
Love it historical and beautiful
Glasgow University scenery is very good, is a relaxed and pleasant university.I like it here very much
University often hold some activities but in this special period, most of the activities are hold online. It is not very comfortable honestly. We have few opportunities to meet new friends. What we could do is just to go to the library and try our best to explore something helpful.
You can enjoy almost every kind of facility in this university including one of the biggest library among all UK universities.
The management of the apartment is great, with strict security measures. In addition, the location of the apartment is very good, very close to the university. There is also a park next to it, where you can run and exercise.
Good support during the pandemic
1. QS top 100. 2. Ancient campus buildings like Hogwarts. 3. Professors are all of the high qualifications and the quality of classes are high. 4. Student Union provides many social activities.
The staff is responsible, has a good class experience and helps the students carefully
The campus is European classical style, which is memorable. The library looks so cool and the facilities are science and tech feeling. The only thing that made me feel regrettable is I didn't have a class in the campus.
Good university for studying business with good professors and facilities.
Everything is ok. Nothing to complain about.
The university gives me a lot of support during the pandemic.
Good place to stay—I love the staff members
In fact, the reason why I choose this university is because of the fascinating buildings (the main building). Now I would say it does not let me disappointed. I am so moved that the SU did a lot of things supporting the international students, like sending free masks and medicine. However, due to the Covide-19, I have no chance to go through the clubs and just made a few friends who are mostly from my home country.
Beautiful college! And great teachers! But tuition is high! Anyway, a great place with high quality education! :)
Have not much to say since I have been only here nearly a month and all my lessons are online... But so far I have been to the library and it is great, i like there is a study room special for graduate students.
Glasgow university school of medicine is a fairly big and accommodating group which provide a lot of aid for our coursework and difficulties. The amenities as well are always easily accessible and nearby each other which is good for students who don’t own a car .
The campus is great! I love the buildings there and our library is great. The uni also take measures to keep students safe during the Covid-19.
One of the best universities in the U.K.
Glasgow University was a wonderful experience. I fully recommend it.
The university provides many conveniences for students, such as the new study building. Student Union provides a lot of useful information including careers information, professional lectures and so on.
I like my school very much. It has good teaching system, historical atmosphere and good etiquette.
Because the Covid-19, I did not experience much. But the James McCune Smith Learning Hub and the university library are very good and it is very suitable for study.
The experience of learing in University of Glasgow is very brilliant. The campus is beautiful and the buildings are very historical. The teachers are all serious and responsible, and I have gained a lot of professional knowledge here. I love the gift bags given by the school, including Christmas and Freshman gift bags and so on. The library and learning hub are very suitable for learning, which can effectively improve productivity, so I often go to study there.
University of Glasgow. The school is very beautiful, and the faculty and staff are also very responsible.
best university ever, with friendly staff
The environment of the campus is very lovely especially the beautiful view. And teachers are very kind and focus on students's development.
The location is very good, about 10 minutes walk from the school, and the staff are very friendly.
The accommodation is very convenient and the facilities are very good and the apartments are very safe and there are a number of activities that you can attend and it's a very nice stay experience and I love it
University provides us useful facilities and help us solve many difficulties.
i like it , it is good and look fantasic
The building, facilities are various. For instance, library, gift shops, study hub building are so good and well experienced. Services for the international student is completed and satisfied me.
This university is very good. The library facilities are new. The environment is quiet. The teachers are responsible and patient at the same time. The environment of the university is also great and the buildings are beautiful.
UofG, three competitive advantages: 1. Location, Glasgow is the 3rd biggest citys in the UK, But the price standard is cheaper than other citys or towns. 2. Building, UofG main building is very elegant and beautiful 3. Academic support, the library and students sub are good enough to support The student's study.
During the school, I felt the professionalism between the various departments of the school. The arrangement of study and examination is relatively reasonable. The difficulty of the course is also acceptable. The school’s new learning hub is also very beautiful
The reception is so nice, and the facility is pretty new. Whatever the room or the kitchen is lovely and clean. The location is convience and near by the supermarket, subway and trainline. I went to the other accomdation West View is the best. I am so glad i can live there. 👍🏻
beautiful university with nice facilities and complete service. we can get lots of help about our majors here. just want to get to face-to-face classes as soon as possible.
GU is the best!!! Although this year is not so easy, the university and the staff here is really helpful to provide a better life and studying for students.
The university of Glasgow is an amazing university to go too. It is one of the top 100 universities world wide. It has an amazing campus, which will remind you of Hogwarts if you are a Harry Potter fan . Had a good opportunity to meet new people from different cities and countries . I hope you will enjoy it as i did .
Classmates are very friendly and teachers are very responsible. Because of the epidemic, I don't know much about various activities in the school, but the school is really beautiful and I am very happy to study here～
The common room downstairs supply many thoughtful facilities for us, gym and home theatre is also a big surprise, which means you won't worry about being lonely with so many neighbours.
It's such a great apartment where you can wake up every morning and open the curtains and see the beautiful river outside. The facilities of the apartment are very perfect and the service is very considerate. In addition, the location of the apartment is excellent, close to the station, supermarkets and commercial areas. Most importantly, it's close to the university
University of Glasgow is so beautiful and elegant with long history. I recommend Adam smith business university honestly.
The room is large and tidy. The windows are also large and you can see the scenery outside. The reception is also very nice and can help collect parcels.
The campus environment is so beautiful that I want to stay on campus every day. Besides, every time I send e-mails to teachers, they will reply in time and guide me to solve problems, so the school is also very efficient.
Glasgow it's a big, beautiful school with a long history and beautiful environment, clear air, very suitable for learning
Glasgow is the best. Love the castle ! Every time I go through it, I'm proud. security and staff are sooooo nice.
It's worth choosing here to stay. it's not only near the main campus, library, gym, and the subway station (around or less than 5 mins). It's also near Kelvingrove Park. The most important is that everyone in the reception team here is kind and nice. During the quarantine, they are also willing to help.
Everything was very difficult during the COVID-19, and the uni tried to do the best it could together
Haven’t had the uni experience because of the pandemic, I don’t really know tbh
Don’t know because I haven’t been in but it looks good from the outside
A great uni all round- academics and student experience included.
As one of the oldest universities in the UK with a long history, the education offered to students is very knowledgeable and in-depth. The campus is beautiful and the facilities for study, recreation and living are excellent.
In covid, a review cannot be made substantial enough to be objective.
Great university. I didn't have a chance to experience social activities due to Covid.
Great campus, beautiful buildings and friendly staff.
Studying at the University of Glasgow is short, pleasant and busy. Thanks to the teachers and classmates in the class for taking care of me, a person who never knew what community development theory is and came to study this major. The course content carefully prepared by Dave, Luke and Diane allowed me to get a MEd degree from ignorance of this theory. The classmates in the project often discuss their understanding with me. In addition, I would also like to thank CCDPfor providing me with the opportunity of placement, and manager Maryanne helped me a lot during the placement.
When three other classmates and I divided into a small group for a small trip in Glasgow, they kindly exchanged learning with me and introduced the local culture and history. Although I did not remember much of Glasgow’s history, I remember it was a very pleasant day. At that time, I had just arrived in a new environment, and sometimes I felt a little uncomfortable with the new environment. After that group assignment, I got much comfortable in later courses.
It's Glasgow uni, what is there to say about it but it's one of the best if not the best unis in Glasgow.
Great university but not so much activity in campus
I enjoy all the facilities on offer. I’ve not tried all the clubs and societies in the university. But the ones o have tried so far have been great and really enjoyed it
Great uni and a lot of fun to go to
The university is updated with the last technology and the professors are really helpful!
Great, except i have never been to the campus in my entire first year due to covid
Really good teachers especially in creative department. Staff friendly and helpful. Only management focus more on money then students and their experience which is a shame. I would recommend to study just because of teachers but don't expect being able to use studio after lessons even tho we are behind because of covid...
They were very helpful especially for foreign students
It’s alright, staff are friendly and there’s a nice work environment
Good experience so far although a lot of time spent off campus due to covid.
