I like this small house for the first time I came to Glasgow. I don't think my choice is wrong. scotway house is in the top few apartments in Glasgow in view, price and location. The location is the best! You will arrive at the big partick station in five minutes, and there are also affordable supermarkets and high-end supermarkets around! There are often activities in the apartment, and the staff is also very friendly, especially John. The only thing that can be optimized in the gym~(o^^o)

I think the living experience is very good, with cheap house prices and comfortable rooms. The front desk staff is very friendly. There are many activities in the apartment.
Great Campus and facilities. A range of welcome events organised by the clubs and societies.
A very big studio room at a low price. No other nearby student accommodation is cheaper or offers a room and kitchen this spacious. There is a Tesco right downstairs and an Asian supermarket and an NHS GP surgery within 3 mins walk. Very welcoming and friendly repection and staff, everything is feel like home:) Jingwen Lyu

I really enjoyed studying in Glasgow — the learning environment is welcoming, and the teachers are approachable and helpful.
For my first semester in my first year, I had a really great experience here in my university. I made so many new friends and had a great time with them.
Good uni, excellent teacher and fantastic life here.
The experience of living here is extremely pleasant. The entertainment facilities are comprehensive and well-equipped, covering various leisure and recreational needs. The apartment regularly organizes a variety of community activities and often provides delicious treats for residents to enjoy. Moreover, the basic infrastructure here is of a high standard, ensuring a convenient and comfortable daily life. What truly touched me was that when I got injured accidentally, the front desk staff immediately stepped in to provide urgent first-aid treatment for me, offering both professional care and heartfelt warmth.
It is very comfortable and the environment is excellent. The dormitory is fully equipped with various facilities and has a reasonable layout. The staff of the apartment are also very nice. There are also many facilities in the public areas.

Good university had great people
Glasgow Tramworks is a reliable and efficient transit option. It connects key areas quickly, with comfortable seats and clear route signs—highly recommended for daily commutes.
l am very enjoying in here and so happy to live here
The university is a lovely, friendly place. It’s very nice to be in a space where the humanities are actually still appreciated, back home that’s not the case. I have had an absolutely amazing time here, especially joining the Scottish Country Dancing Club and Gaming Society has made my time very exciting. I was also very happy to be valued and seen as a non-binary student through t my entire stay.
Helpful staff and enjoyable courses
People are not bad but the buildings are kinda…
very good. my requests are often completed quickly. The staffs are warm-heart
The apartment is clean, comfortable, and well located, with modern facilities, friendly management, and a quiet atmosphere, making it an excellent place to live and relax

Good university to study in UK

I really enjoyed studying here. Got a chance to make lots of friends.

To study at the University of Glasgow is to step into a world where centuries of academic heritage dance hand in hand with cutting-edge innovation, crafting an experience that shapes not just scholars, but visionaries ready to take on the global stage. Nestled in the heart of Scotland’s vibrant cultural hub, the university’s campus is a masterpiece in its own right. The iconic Gothic Revival buildings, with their spires piercing the sky and ivy-clad walls, tell stories of centuries of intellectual pursuit—yet step inside, and you’ll find state-of-the-art laboratories, digital learning hubs, and collaborative spaces that rival any modern institution. This seamless blend of old and new isn’t just aesthetic; it’s a metaphor for the university’s ethos: honoring its roots while fearlessly pushing the boundaries of knowledge. Academically, the University of Glasgow stands as a beacon of excellence. Its faculty comprises world-renowned researchers and industry leaders who don’t just teach t
Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very comfy!
The student apartment has been an excellent place to live. The facilities are modern, clean, and well maintained, creating a comfortable environment for both studying and relaxing. The management team is responsive and professional, always willing to help with any questions or concerns. The location is also very convenient, with easy access to campus, public transportation, and nearby shops.
Nice campus with lots of facility and student welfare. Also a place to absorb knowledge. Overall great
im happier than ever in this university
The school has excellent facilities, including a library, gym, and study rooms for student use. There are also many clubs and societies of various kinds, perfect for daily leisure and entertainment; some even offer competitive events.
My experience at the University is great. So far so good. There are lots of events happening all the time for bonding career boost etc. Talking about the facilities there is everything and everyone available to help.

Top uni, great place to study, good facilities
The school offers a great learning environment with supportive teachers and well-designed facilities. It’s a wonderful place for students to grow and achieve their goals.
Definitely worth the hype, if you overlook some admin hiccups
I adored my time at UofG. The campus was gorgeous, situated in a beautiful part of Glasgow and the facilities were outstanding.
Best university in Glasgow and best experience
Great institution, living up to expectations
Everything else is good but wifi could be better
You won't believe when you are welcomed like a champ. Welcome week is one of the best for freshers. Great and lots of study spaces, Student Support, and Lively community. Also a great opportunity of employment with career support services.At last not least, Scholarship!!!!!!!
I’ve met very friendly teachers, and even though my English isn’t very good, they’ve given me the courage to speak up and use it.
Great university facilities for study, quite beautiful and plenty of places to unwind nearby.
Excellent accommodations, but very big, more maps across the campus would be great for us international students that just arrived!
I like the university, i like the friends and people i have met though lectures tutorials and societies
I think my university is very good.
Studying at Glasgow has been wonderful thus far! I’m in 3rd year now and things are ramping up, but I feel well prepared for my future knowing the work I’m putting in here is being supported by the staff and student community. The location of the uni is great and everyone enjoys the park that connects to the university in the warmer summer months. Sports facilities are good and there’s a society for everyone here. I’m very happy to be a student at such a diverse university.
I love my experience here! Main building literally looks like Hogwarts, and other buildings are well-equipped. Student life is very diverse, with tons of sports, clubs, and events to participate in. Great career services, from little details like CV-tweaking to planning your career. Best university!
I like the University building, museums restaurants, and coffee shops—the facilities for students including gym, study room, and meeting room are nice and beautiful. Alos, the university location is perfect and easy to access from different way. There are multiple subway stations , and bus stops.
Great place to meet friends or go out for food or a drink. The campus is massive as well but it just means more space for everyone
Staff have been extremely supportive and it is a friendly and encouraging environment for learning.
Honestly a really nice campus, very clean and taken care of which is very nice. The only complaint is that I have to stay later for labs and whatnot but that's around the time the WiFi decides to not work which is annoying.
The finest university With lovely scenery And friendly people I'm very fond of it
It is a really good university with many opportunities for students to join.
A wonderful school with a deep history. While there are some older buildings (particular for those for in arts and humanities) that are a bit rough around the edges, they also have a charming character that makes it such a privilege to study in an archetypal Scottish city like Glasgow. People are friendly, there are plenty of societies to join and events to hit up, and the unions are solid! There are some wifi issues on campus, particularly for those who try to use eduroam on certain models of phones, but it's otherwise stable enough for doing assignments in the library or classrooms.
A nice apartment, especially managers are very nice and supportive, they are one of the most reasons why I have stayed here for 4 years. Highly recommend to reduce the rent though.
I've absolutely loved studying at the University of Glasgow. I first came here in 2020 for my undergrad, having to start studying in the middle of the pandemic (as if it wasn't scary enough to start uni already!). The range of online events by the university and the societies was fantastic, and I felt so welcomed despite being in the midst of social distancing. I suspected it would be even better if starting a course under normal circumstances, and when starting my postgrad, it was confirmed. The range of societies is great - anything from Shrek to whisky to psychology to cultural societies. Everyone has been very welcoming, also in purely academic circumstances. If there's anything that isn't working, e.g. if you experience issues with your course or mental health, there are many options available for you as well, such as friendly student support officers, counselling services, students representative council etc. A bonus is that the university and location is very beautiful.
The university is good. It provides a great selections of courses and the lecturers are concise. Some buildings are a little drab and clearly need refurbishment. The wifi, like all universities which use eduroam is abysmal. Especially when we now rely so much on the internet for studies, this needs improvement.
Great university in great city to explore
Tony is a very nice person! He is a friendly and helpful staff member who made us feel really welcome. The house is very clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The location is excellent — it’s close to public transport, shops, and restaurants, which made our stay super convenient. Overall, it’s a wonderful place to stay and I would definitely come back again!
Sociology staff are excellent, and the course is fascinating the campus is beautiful
Good staff good campus. Everyone is nice
Best place to be for your uni!!
Campus is pretty nice, lots of shops near it for convenience, overall pretty good.
Pretty good school, wifi is s***, not even on main campus usually lol
Good buildings, slower internet
I connected to the Wifi once with my students' ID and password and subsequently, I don't need to login anymore. It connects automatically. I also get weekly newsletter from the careers service to check for part time jobs and opportunities that are relevant to me. There are also many clubs and societies to choose from. I love the University of Glasgow and I am sure you will to.
Its been a month here, and I really love everything. All the facilities provided are excellent.
Really nice place to stay! The building’s modern, clean, and in a great location for getting to the subway. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Definitely the best student accommodation I’ve stayed in, and the best I’ve seen.
I love the experience I am having here and the course is very much aligned to my career goals and aspects. Although it does get tough as an international student, if you manage time, everything becomes manageable/
University of Glasgow ensures inclusive environment for every student. Students get exposure to the diverse cultures and communities across the world. The beautiful campus along with the availability of huge number of postgraduate courses, placement opportunities etc made this university top notch.
It is a pleasure studying at the University of Glasgow. My time till now has been nothing but wonderful. Though the classes are rigorous, you gain knowledge of great value. The professors are helpful and always available to listen to your concerns. The campus is beautiful, capturing the essence of Scottish and British architecture. The university offers great facilities and is on top it's game.
Home away from home actually it is…Laura gave a very good guided meditation..
Great uni with nice staff. It takes some time to travel from city centre.
everything is ok not amazing but definitely not bad
10/10 experience, the support they give the students is really big and they are very flexible
It's lucky to be one of the students in UofG!
I am a graduate student, and I booked this place through the University of Glasgow's official website. The experience has been excellent. The location is very close to the university, just 5-10 minutes to reach any classroom, and the dormitory is on the main street, so there are streetlights no matter how late you come back. Additionally, it is very convenient downstairs, with a Tesco supermarket, a Chinese supermarket called Aijia, as well as a Boots beauty and pharmacy store, and delicious hotpot restaurants. Finally, what I like most is the staff member Beth. She is very kind, meticulous and careful in her work, highly responsible, and can make you feel warm even in a foreign country. The residence also hosts many free events such as pizza parties and free drinks, which I really enjoy. When you first check in, many gifts are even given. I am very willing to recommend this place to everyone.
studying here has been a transformative experience. Its blend of history, diversity, and social purpose makes it more than a place of learning—it’s a community of thinkers and changemakers. Academic standards are high, with passionate lecturers who encourage independent thought and connect theory to real-world issues. The Gilmorehill campus is beautiful, though some older buildings need improvement and study spaces can be limited. The library and Learning Hub are excellent, and the atmosphere fosters collaboration and curiosity. The student body is diverse and inclusive, and as a mature student and community advocate, I’ve always felt respected. Support services can be uneven but are compassionate when accessed, and Glasgow’s vibrant culture adds to the experience. Despite some bureaucracy and growing pains, the University of Glasgow remains a place that nurtures intellectual depth, social purpose, and personal growth—a space where students can truly become who they’re meant to be.
It was a dream being here, I would love to write the review of UofG, one of the best school in the world, It still feels like I am in some movie
The University is a mix of both modern and old architect with resemblance of great research that happened here to on-going research that can revolutionise the world. I feel really honoured to be a part of one of the most reputed Russell group, feels like home even though I am away from home.
As a new international student, I was very nervous to enter the university. However, the staff at the University of Glasgow have been so accommodating from all departments around. This ranges from career advisors, international student advisors, and course advisors. The wifi could be better, especially in the chemistry buildings but the clubs and societies run well but could be better at updating and connecting with their numbers.
