Glasgow University in general Reviews

Glasgow was the worst experience of my life. I was eager to start university but was met with disappointment. Despite going out every night in freshers week, making an effort to get to know my flatmates and surrounding flats, talking to people in lectures and tutorials and having joined 4 societies, I made no friends. Teaching and ...  Read the complete review

I have been a student here since September 2010. I chose it primarily because of it's high entrance grades and position on league tables - I did want an impressive university for my degree. But I think the University offers a lot more than that! Glasgow has a very flexible system for courses i.e. in your first and second year ...  Read the complete review

I've attended Glasgow University since September 2010, and am coming up to the midway point of my degree. Before I came to Glasgow, I wasn't entirely sure that I'd made the right decision. Now, having been here for 18 months, I am completely confident that I chose the right university and would confidently recommend it to ...  Read the complete review

I attended MA in International Relations at University of Glasgow after I graduated my undergrad studies from King's College, which was not a good experience for me at all. Before I went to Glasgow, I've heard soooooo many good things about the university. When I arrived there, everything was up to my expectations! The campus is gorgeousssss, like i was in Harry Potter! The staff and professors are very friendly and well educated. The scottish are friendly and I happened to like their accent. My life and study in Glasgow were so much better than when I was at King's College. I'm not surprised that the University of Glasgow has a worldwide reputation! Most students there graduated from good universites with outstanding grades. In summary, University of Glasgow is the best university in the world for me!

Glasgow Uni is set amongst a set of old buildings in Glasgow's West end including the Huntarian Museum and the Kelvingrove Art Gallery, the latter is seperate from the university however.

When I was applying for Uni originally I went on all the usual campus tours to help me pick the university I wanted to go to. I know I wanted to go to Glasgow instantly! With it's beautiful gothic architecture and Kelvingrove park on it's door step it's hard not to be enchanted by this place, especially when so many modern universities ...  Read the complete review

I wasn't particularly keen on going to University. I wanted a degree, but I was downright terrified of leaving school and entering into something new and, to be quite honest, a wee bit scary. Many of my friends were contemplating whether to go to an English Uni, or a Scottish one, and were up and down the length and breadth ...  Read the complete review

I made the decision to go to Glasgow university basically because it meant i didn't have to leave home. It was within travelling distance so not as expensive as having to move away from home. I was accepted and got the grades for St Andrew's but my uncertainty about leaving home at that point made Glasgow the sensible choice. And ...  Read the complete review

I came to Glasgow uni a bit, well, miffed. You would be too if you had dropped 40% in an exam and you weren't going to St Andrew's (nothing to do with Wills, more with my dad promising a car if i got in- just a banger.. still). Also, about 80% of all the Glaswegians I'd met were junkies or stab people regularly. ...  Read the complete review

I’ve been studying at the uni since October 2000, so I should know my way about the place by now. So here are my thoughts on my place of learning. I could have applied ...  Read the complete review

I would highly recommend Glasgow Uni to prospective students, not just for the high academic standards, but also for the excellent facilities which are provided. These include two large university unions, numerous ...  Read the complete review
