Student review of Glasgow        member978904 
19th February 2023

“…in comparison to other places in the UK, Glasgow is one of the most affordable places to live…”

One of the cities with the best public transport system I have ever seen for students. Cheap subway tickets and a free bus pass make travelling a breeze. Since I was an international student, the cost of living can be a bit high for accommodations and general expenses but in comparison to other places in the UK, Glasgow is one of the most affordable places to live in. The one minor downside that I have observed is if anyone is not into clubbing and that sort of nightlife there's not a whole lot of things to do at night.

Great city with so much to do and explore. There's pubs, clubs and restaurants for all different kinds of people. Cost of living has increased but still not too expensive.
