University of Stirling in general

For me the University of Stirling is the best possible University. It terms of its campus the Uni boasts a beautiful green campus covered in trees and grass. One of the centre points of the campus is the stunning loch which sits right at its heart. The campus also contains its own golf course which no other University campus in Scotland and possibly the UK has. As well as this the rest of the sports facilities are also top notch. The facilities also include: .good grass pitches maintained by Falkirk Football Club .a Rubber Crumb all weather pitch .a 50 metre swimming pool .indoor games hall .many indoor tennis courts ...  Read the complete review

I spent a fantastic 4 years at Stirling University (1999-2003) - 3 years of which, I was living in AKD on campus. The reason I chose to stay on campus for the most part, is clear to see on arrival. The campus itself is a self-contained haven which is more like Center Parcs than any university campus. There is a large loch, a cinema, a theatre, lecture halls, cafes and the student union - all based within the campus, which is surrounded by a wall and only covers a couple of square miles. For some, it feels like a prison; for me, it feels like a resort. Most of the University was built in the 1960s and thus, still feels modern and fresh. Some will detest the ...  Read the complete review

Stirling Uni is actually nearer Bridge of Allen but anyway.. Im in my second year of first year here now, i started september 2003 and decided at christmas to take a semester off so have restarted this september 2004.

Amd of course the campus is gorgeous, it is only let down by the ugly 1960s concrete buildings that are the residences and teaching blocks. So other ...  Read the complete review

Hi there, thought some of you would like to read my opinion of Stirling Uni from someone who has just finished their first year there: Accomodation There are many halls on campus, and first years go into either AKD, Murray, Geddes, or ASH. I was in Murray and it's like all the others except from AKD and the East side of ASH. AKD is a 37 week let, meaning you stay over xmas, and the east side of ash is en suite. Halls are a great place to live in. I was in Murray last year and had a ball. All halls are portered, meaning there's someone at the door. They'll help you with problems, let you in at night, etc. They're a great laugh - Murray ...  Read the complete review

How many universities in the country can say that on their grounds they have a castle, a cinema, a golf course and a loch? How many can say that they are a five minute walk from a famous range of hills (the Ochils), and at the foot of a monument to one of Scotland's national heroes? How many can say that you get capped by one of the Avengers (Dame Diana Rigg) at your graduation? How many Universities have held European film premieres? The answer: not many, but the University of Stirling has all of the above to offer. Over the years I was at the university (1998-2002), the place has seen many a change: *The building of a state-of-the art centre ...  Read the complete review
