Advantages: Campus, Sports Facilities, Course Flexibility

Disadvantages: Halls of Residence

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
.a massive gym
.a full size running track

Secondly i would like to mention the quality of courses offered at Stirling. The university offers courses in a wide range of subjects ranging from business studies all the way through to the likes of global cinema and culture. As well as offering a wide selection of degrees in many different areas the University of Stirling is also known offically as Scotland's University for sporting excellence and is also very highly rated for degrees in business and the arts. However the main reason why i think Stirling offers a great quality of course is the flexibility of the choices available. the University is like no other in terms of the ease of which you can swap and mix courses to find the best possible course for you. For example i began a degree in Sports Studies, however i have now changed my degree programme to Marketing and Sports Studies due to my enjoyment of the Marketing modules i took in my first year. I also know people who have began studying at Stirling doing one degree and have ended up graduating with a completely different one.

However just like with every University Stirling does have its negative points. The main one for me is that in comparison to other Universities the Halls of Residence at stirling are not great. The rooms are a little bit on the small side and they are also a little bit dated.

Having said all this i would highly recommend the University of Stirling to anyone thinking of applying. I believe it offers a unique experience that can not be found at any of the other Universities.

Summary: A beautiful place to study, second to none for the experience it can provide
