I'm really exited to share my thoughts here, because I think I did a best work, that is the booking in this accommodation because everything is very well maintained, and all stuffs are very caring and very much helpful, whenever I have faced any problem I just told them and they has been fixed it within 24 hours. And with that according to the room the rent is very cheap, that should be perfect for a student. With that they organise many parties and classes as well. And I want to mention one thing that the rooms and gym area, laundry and garbage section are well maintained and cleaned. That's why I should recommend you that Please book this accommodation.

It was an experience above my expecatitons
Great career prospects, staff and students
As a triple gold medalist from India with a master's degree in structural health monitoring, I have always been deeply passionate about my field. For me, pursuing a PhD was never just about obtaining a degree—it was about following my true passion and aligning my research with what truly excites me. When I began my search, I knew that finding the right university, the right research proposal, and the right supervisor was crucial. After extensive searching, I discovered a proposal on FindAPhD that perfectly matched my interests. I applied, was interviewed, and ultimately received the Student Excellence Award, which provided full funding for my studies. This experience has reaffirmed my belief that when you pursue what you're passionate about, the right opportunities will follow. My university has not only provided me with an outstanding academic environment but also the support and mentorship necessary to truly excel in my research. Thanks, Strathclyde :-)
Strathclyde university supports its students in their academic and professional careers
Absolutely loved my first year at Strathclyde University. So glad I chose to come here as I’ve enjoyed my course throughly, felt challenged to do my best at every turn, met new people who are now friends for life and joined a football team full of great mates and many great memories
It was a good university for all international students. I highly recommend it.
Good university with great facilities
Staff is friendly and the room is spacious and facilities are very good.
Braw very braw indeed. Fun people top bants
It's ok. Some of the professors are amazing.
Everyone really friendly and welcoming
have been studying abroad since 2015 (more than 8 years), I have not seen such a clean, tidy, decent place for a student to stay as Riverside. One more thing I was really impressive is the management style here which was reflected on staff and the way where they treated me well. The reception staff were very nice and highly cooperative. It is really amazing place if you want an enjoyable stay.
I enjoy going to campus since it is so close to my accommodation, and love the facilities there. It motivates me to study.
I've met some of the best friends I've ever made at the University of Strathclyde. People make Glasgow, and that has easily been the highlight of me living here. Sports are also very welcoming, as you don't need to have prior experience to join many of the sports, and it's a great way to make new friends.
An amazing Uni to do my Graduate Apprenticeship with. The campus is brand new and has plenty to do within it. Union and society make up a great part of my life as well.
I think the school's facilities are very good, but the seats in the library become uncomfortable after sitting for a long time, and there are no openable windows for ventilation.
Everything is really good, enjoyed most of my time!
A very central campus with a very modern student union
住宿环境挺好的，前台也比较友善，很好沟通.就是有时火警会响，影响休息.其他没什么问题.

Living at Buchanan View was a great experience! The community vibe made it easy to make friends and connect with other students. The facilities at Buchanan View were top-notch. From modern study spaces to well-equipped communal areas, it made my student life more comfortable. The staff at Buchanan View were friendly and responsive. Any issues or maintenance requests were addressed promptly.

The buildings and activities are great here. The university as a whole seems unorganized and because of this, I lost money on a flight home due to strathclyde’s error.

University of Strathclyde is such a nice university to study as the staff is nice
UofG is a good place to study here.
UoG is the exellence place to learn. There was some strike from the facilitators, but that is understandable.
I would also like to mention that I thoroughly enjoyed my time staying at Gallery Apartments. All of the staff were extremely helpful and friendly during this period. It was a wonderful experience.

Great experience with studies, good facilities for students
Its a great place to learn, my supervisor was one of the most nobel intelligent people I ever knew, choose your supervisor wisely, it really makes a difference
Overall a pleasant experience. Have seen myself grow.
I was surprised when I came to this university cause I'm actually a Spanish student so the differences between my real university and strathclyde where extremely noticeable. People where always helping you and they where so kind to everyone even tho you don't know them. The quality of studies is so high and teachers are always looking to help you doing your best. The union and the gym and all kind of buildings or supplies they provide you are amazing.
A great experience!! Great student union, societies and facilities. Lecturers are often very helpful and modules are very complete.
Helpful tutors, good location for social
