The accommodation is so good, and thanks school
Everything's fine. Hope that oneday I could study my PHD here.
Great university, very prestigious and hospitable
Considering its facility, location, and price, it might be the best student accommodation you can find in Glasgow. Definitely my best decision to choose this accommodation!
Hyndland House provides an exceptional living experience with its excellent location, outstanding property management, impeccable cleanliness, inviting social spaces, vibrant social experience, and reliable internet connection. The staff, including Erwin and Colleen, are incredibly prompt in responding to all the residents' needs, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable stay. Hyndland House is truly a home. We celebrate events from different cultures, mingle with the staff, and enjoy plenty of free food during these moments. I would highly recommend Hyndland House to those studying at the University of Glasgow, particularly students from the Adam Smith Business School.
Would highly recommend uni of Glasgow to anyone
Great university, very social and fun
Amazing people, big room with lovely view. I wish I could stay another year. Ewa and Ali are very helpful and nice.
The uni itself is nice, just kind of standard, what you'd expect.
Wifi often Biggs out in the university buildings and not enough study space generally.
Didn't spend much time on campus. It was nice to look at but none of the societies or events really drew me in (I was a postgraduate student however, so that could have something to do with it.) It was alright in terms of general facilities, such as study areas and wifi.
I have absolutely enjoyed my time here at the University of Glasgow so far. The accommodations are superb and the faculty, custodians, and staff are beyond helpful.
Could have better wifi, but other than that it’s all right
Wonderful experience at the university with a lot of opportunities.
This university is amazing for international students!
i love uofg! wonderful place and love my tutors and professors.
Great University great place to study masters
The school environment is very good, and the teachers, international students from different countries, and senior students are very enthusiastic and helpful
very sophisticated university with good staff
All good, I love the amazing facilities!
Living in the student dormitory has been an exceptional experience for me. The rooms are not only spacious and well-lit, but they are also designed with a keen eye for detail, ensuring that we have ample space for both study and relaxation. The dormitory is equipped with all the necessary amenities that a student could need. The high-speed Wi-Fi connection ensures that I can complete my assignments and research without any interruptions. The common areas are always clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable environment for both socializing and studying. One of the highlights of living here is the sense of community. The dormitory organizes regular events that help us to get to know our fellow residents better, fostering a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect among us. The location of the dormitory is another major plus point. It is conveniently located close to the university of Glasgow, making it easy for us to get to our classes on time. There are also plenty of shops and
Love my experience at UoG, the people and professors are wonderful. Some of the buildings are a nightmare to navigate but you get used to it.
Nice place to live in. The environment is very nice!
Ballet is definitely the best value for money and comfortable student apartment in Glasgow! Beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows, comfortable sofa mattresses, spacious bathrooms and kitchens, a variety of activities and the most kind, warm and friendly staff, living in ballet is really the right decision for me to come here! Highly recommended!
This flat offers a high cost-performance ratio!
Everything is great. One of the best beautiful university over the world.
great but the weather is not charming
Good but a bit awkward for travel
Lovely staff who are always available to help you with any issues ❤️
Overall good. Staffs are helpful Livid environment is good!
I think everything is good in university of Glasgow
The ballet school accommodation are really nice. The staffs here are lovely and friendly. I’ll choose here for my next year accommodation as well!
sometimes the university network is really busy and Icannot get connected to the Internet when I am in a hurry
It’s really good and inclusive
The university is a very inclusive and diverse space.
Amazing facilities and chances for social life. The food prices could be lower. Spacious multiple spaces for studying in a pleasant environment.
The campus and its services is excellent.
Very good environment. One of the most prestigious university in Scotland.
The University of Glasgow is a very good school. The students are very friendly.
The location is really near to the uni,only takes me 10 minutes walk to course. Friendly staff,high speed reaction to any problem.
Love the floor-to-ceiling Windows of the ballet, great view. In winter, the heating is very sufficient, and the staff is very warm and nice, which makes me feel warm
Great uni, has a range of activities, things to do, and many learn learning opportunities
Decent , SU is good but not amazing
A really great uni, the location is amazing and everyone is lovely
all staffes are very kind and the speed of maintance staff coming to fix my room’s issue also very fast
Completing my master's degree and currently pursuing my PhD at the University of Glasgow has been a transformative journey that has indelibly changed my life for the better. The university's rigorous academic environment, coupled with its vibrant community, has facilitated a rich learning experience that extends far beyond the confines of traditional education.
It's a good university with plenty of stuff to do
U of Glasgow is an excellent school, with some very talented professors and students alike. I've met lots of amazing people from around the world, and and learned a lot through my studies. Attending it is certainly a highlight of my academic career.
Great place to live!! Very lovely staff and it is located very close to UofG!!
Very good It was a good experience
Everyone is so nice and reception always helpful. Although the furniture and facility on here is little bit old, staffs are working very hard to try to solve this problem. I like this place.
Everything is good . Everything is good.
I like this university . The perfect environment and the best teachers!!!!
EVERYTHING IS GOOD! LOVE MY CAMPUS
everything is good！I feel lucky that I study here
Good experience! I only wish there was free or at least cheaper printing and more spaces to print papers.
Love my time here as an exchange student, frdly ppl nice environment
Studying biochemistry at the university and I have loved my 4 years studying there. Building is incredibly beautiful, staff is accommodating and helpful. Facilities overall are well maintained.
The wifi does cut out quite a lot - it’s the Eduroam system. But the James McCune Smith Learning Hub building is very modern and nice. Can be hard to get a seat lots of the time. The uni is quite big and impersonal so it can be quite lonely and when you need to access help it is hard to know the right contact, especially when someone’s email address isn’t listed on the website. There are lots of societies which is good, but you no longer get free gym membership in first year, and lots of the sports clubs need you to have that in addition to their own membership fee.
As an American international postgraduate student, I'd advise prospective students to study elsewhere. The uni is poorly run, disorganized and unhelpful. There are few study spaces and almost no amenities. Professors do not grade based on mastery of target learning objectives, do not use the full grading scale and cannot or will not explain what they are looking for in assessments and assignments. I have found most of my professors to be pretentious, unhelpful and uncaring. The grading is opaque, convoluted and entirely subjective. There are no grading rubrics or clear expectations. You will not receive feedback in time to make adjustments on future assignments, so you will be stuck working blind. There are hardly any contact hours. I have 20 total hours of class for one of my core classes. Without much instruction, it ends up being a £22,000 reading list. An average university in the US may not have the same reputation, but it will probably provide a far better education.
This is a very good apartment! I like the enthusiastic attitude of the staff and thanks a lot for their good works and dedication. There are also a lot of activities here and I have made a lot of new friends here.
I am in one of the best Universities of the world.Every thing very systematic and well kept.
Good uni and city to be in to be fair
Studying in UofG is excellent. Teachers and friends here are really easy to get along with.
I am able to finish my work on campus because of the facilities provided to us
Teachers and students service are comprehensive and really satisfying.
nothing to complain about on campus. any complaints i would have would be towards those using facilities which the university can’t do much about
Excellent University experience
Good management and guaranteed safety! Sometimes there is no hot water supply late at night.
everything is nice，and l hope the canteen can stay open longer🧚♀️
The JMS building has good study spaces.
The rooms where I had to attend my lessons where cold most of the time and there are not enough plugs around to accommodate the number of students
The Campus is beautiful, so are the additional newer buildings. There are plenty of study spaces around, though often it can get hard to find a seat. However, a lot of amenities are provided and there are many options for in campus food, such as cafes or canteens and to-go meals.
Perfect Physics Faculty and internationally qualified research opportunities
Everything is good, but I just have no time to experience everything due to the study pressure.
Perfect study hub, manages to balance modernity and traditional structures, feels great
Everything nice，it is comfortable to live here
Living here is very happy, the surrounding environment is very quiet, the manager of the apartment is very friendly, and the request can be dealt with and solved in time
very pretty main campus in all seasons
Very very very bad slow wifi experiences!!!
Excellent value for money, very close to the school and excellent accommodation
uni life is good but clubs and sports are way too expensive,, £120 + £40 for each clubs is a bit crazy
Spesificly for MBA kitchen, the cleaner are not doing her/his cleaning properly.
It is good but overall experience can be improved
Life here is so cosy. I'm enjoying it very much.
Buildings of the campus are amazing, it is great that there are variety of old buildings as well as new ones. The location of the campus is also great, it is close to city center as well. One of my favorite buildings is JMS, because of the amount of good study spaces, great catering services.
Lovely staff and amazing facilities
Poor Wi-Fi connection, the signal is very weak, takes a while to load a document
Beautiful buildings and nice shops/restaurants nearby! A lot if clubs to choose from and the cafeteria is pretty tasty!
All staffers are good, helpful and so nice of them
A great student experience so far.
great uni, with an upper-management who only care for profit. the new jms building looks great on brochures but has an offensive lack of study space. despite it all, i love this city and i love this uni. i hope management changes soon
