Living in Kelvingrove House has been one of the highlights of my student life in Glasgow. Its unbeatable location means I can literally roll out of bed and walk to class — no more setting five alarms or rushing through breakfast. That extra sleep has been life-changing! But what truly sets it apart is the room size. My room is HUGE — every friend who’s visited has been blown away by how spacious it is. It's rare to find such a generously sized room at this price point, which makes the value for money absolutely incredible. The reception team, especially Beth, deserves a special shoutout. She’s not only super helpful when it comes to collecting parcels or solving any issues, but she also brings a real sense of community to the place. From handing out cookies and fresh fruit to hosting fun little events like quizzes and games with prizes — there’s always something to look forward to. Kelvingrove House isn’t just a place to stay，I’ll always remember this experience fondly. Xaoqi Guo♥

10/10 Experience! I would definitely recommend anyone to study in the University of Glasgow
I'm particularly happy to stay here. The front desk staff here are all very friendly.
Sometimes hard to connect to wifi.
I've had a wonderful experience living here. The location is excellent — safe, convenient, and close to everything I need. The staff are always helpful and responsive, making the whole experience stress-free. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, and I especially love the social spaces that make it easy to meet new people and feel part of a community. Internet has been super reliable, which is perfect for both study and leisure. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great student accommodation. Luoerjia Long♥
It’s a good choice, depending on what you want to study for your degree.
I have been having a wonderful tome studying at the University of Glasgow. The University and the programs are highly ranked. The courses are interesting and varied. The university offers a large number of clubs, societies, and activities throughout the academic year. The university also offers career support and opportunities for students to prepare their life after graduation.

This is a wonderful university. I think all the teachers are very friendly.
Most of the time was great, but we were asked to pay for a vacuum cleaner that we didn’t break.
Absolutely fantastic university! Enjoyed myself on campus which is just beautiful. The staff are also friendly and helpful. All other services are also great.
The university offers a wide range of resources and provides targeted support for students.
Good university with lots of ways to get involved!
They have been very organized, and the facilities are great. I've never needed to go off campus to do anything that should be done on campus. I find that it's easy to reach out to people that I need to, never have internet connection problems, and there are plenty of opportunities for socializing.
It’s pretty average across the board. The only major complaint I have is the lack of seating and waste of space in the student study areas.
Extremely nice! As a university in the QS top 100, it deserves this honor. The kind teachers, the beautiful school environment, and the excellent school resources allow me to fully utilize my talents in this school.
The university is refusing to listen to the student votes for arms divestments, this is such a big shame. Also Data Science course was so busy, so strict that we didn't have enoıgh oppurtunity to live a uni life. And I am not sure it was wisely so.
Very good student support and career services
I feel extremely lucky to be a student at Glasgow University. I am a mature student studying law and I feel an immense amount of support and assistance in the progression of my degree. The campus Is beautiful, and the people make Glasgow!
It has good study spaces and offers engaging teaching methods
A university's best service is its academic support system, providing students with guidance, resources, and mentorship to excel in their studies. This includes tutoring, career advising, research opportunities, and well-equipped libraries. A strong support network fosters student success, ensuring they develop critical skills and knowledge for their future careers.
The campus is clean and well kept. Wi-Fi can be an issue sometimes but overall I have not had any major issues with connecting. The people are friendly and the lecturers are helpful as well.
Currently studying my masters at UofG, a good uni with lots of opportunities to join societies or study abroad. Friendly staff and many resources to assist in studying as well as resources for those who stuggle with mental health.
Good price and good facilities
Really cool! I think they give us many fun
I’ve had a wonderful experience living in this student apartment. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, the environment is safe and quiet, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. It truly feels like a home away from home, and I would highly recommend it to any student looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay.
Bad WiFi, edinburgh union far better in term of enviroment and stuff to do that doesn't involve drinking or knowing people already
I have absolutely loved my time at the University of Glasgow. Especially, for my course French and Spanish. I had the opportunity to live in Spain for a year and France for 4 months and without the university I wouldn’t have had that opportunity.
An overall good institution for higher education study.
Very good. I’ve enjoyed my time here a lot
Studying and living in glasgow are very pleasant and the local residents are also very friendly.
good experience overall. No negative things can be thought of
Great university, vibrant learning and research community. Somewhat slow to innovate, comfortable with old ways of doing things. Constantly building new facilities.
Great fun to get involved with- there’s so much to do beyond the classes! Definitely try to get stuck in- the facilities make this easy!
University modules and courses are diverse, teaching staff is approaches, campus is very nice
Awesome accomodation and staff always available
I will spent a very unforgettable time at uofg！
Everything is good in university of glasgow
I am new here and enjoying all the facilities. They are very cooperative and supportive.
Campus is good but often overcrowded, library and JMS are always full and can be hard to book a room especially since most classes have group projects. Often not enough computer rooms with the programs you need for your class. It has good transport links to and from and decent food and shops nearby.
Great overall with opportunities/facilities. Can get some bad lecturers, like they don’t teach the content in an understandable way/are hard to understand themselves. Amazing range of clubs/societies, however not accessible due to most sports clubs requiring a gym membership to join, even clubs that don’t use the gym!
You are definitely treated a lot more like an adult here than in highschool. This has definitely learned me to become more independent, a problem solver for myself and to also work in teams. This university has given me the tools to handle myself when I leave here next year and survive in the real world. You can sometimes be overwhelmed with multiple essays due at the same time but on the bright side of this it trains you for working. The jump from high school was scary however it’s one you will be thankful for doing and being in such a prestigious university gets you a head start. The lecturers are more than willing to help you and give you guidance , do not be afraid to ask for help or if you’re not sure where a building is, just ask.
The University of Glasgow is a world-class institution known for its academic excellence, historic campus, and vibrant student life. The teaching quality is high, with supportive staff and a wide range of programs. The campus is beautiful, located in the lively West End of Glasgow, and offers excellent facilities. International students are warmly welcomed, and there’s a strong sense of community. A great place to study and grow, both academically and personally.
good good good good good good！
Living in Dobbies Point has been such a great experience! From the moment I moved in, I felt welcomed by the friendly staff and the supportive community. The common areas are great for socializing, and I’ve met so many wonderful people here! ;)
Studying at the University of Glasgow and living in Glasgow has been a blessing for me.
The campus facilities are ok overall
Decent university for computer science. You'll meet a bunch of lovely and interesting people. Clubs and societies could be more vibrant.
The campus is great. But especially for a master student it’s hard to get in touch with the societies which are mostly run by undergraduates. It would be nice to have more post graduate societies and benefits.
Overall, it is quite good and enjoyable
There are lots of societies for students to join and lots of study spaces but I think a lot of the buildings are quite inaccessible for students who have a disability.
glasgow university is overall a great experience
it’s a great social space, the common room has good machines
Good overall ofc some minor problems but nothing big
Love Glasgow uni. Great campus
Glasgow uni is a great uni, unfortunately the wifi doesn’t work for me
Uni WiFi is pretty hit and miss
I’ve enjoyed my time so far at university there are many social spaces which make it easy to meet up with friends around classes. The union also puts on many events throughout the year which allows people from all across the uni to meet and have a good time. The buildings that I have been in have been clean and easy to navigate. There are a few buildings which are having works done in/around them and this can sometimes impact classes but never causes any huge problems.
Great place to pursue my interest in molecular biology
Excellently placed information points with people who are very helpful.
Lots of student resources and events!
Nice university，I really like studying and spending my time in it
It’s what I would expect. It has been a fun time
I enjoy the university, however there is a lack of response towards the international students. It was difficult choosing classes and communicating with a team that does not have a physical location and a slow response time.
The campus is very nice, with the university gym being close by.
Good place to study. If possible, i want the tuition fees to be cheaper.
ive never seen a uni with so many societies
Difficult to find group study spaces
University is great, people are really friendly and nice! Very helpful too
Overall it’s fine. Didn’t have much activities in campus
It’s a great university with very supportive staff from every department. I would suggest everyone think twice before starting a PhD.
It has been a joy to study at University of Glasgow. An excellent library, good resources and friendly faces everywhere. Lovely staff and lecturers and plenty of clubs and societies for a wide range of tastes. Campus food is quite expensive, but there are plenty of other places to eat nearby. A general sense of community and belonging! :)
Good uni but not good communication
Older university with lots of historical building that are great to look at. Joined the basketball club and was very welcomed and was able to connect to the group of girls there. WiFi is strong through campus so I never have to worry about getting assignments done.
I love this university. There are so many services to help with your studying or just living alone. The education is great along with all the various clubs and societies, however if you don’t drink, it can be a wee bit harder to find a sport where that is not the center of everything.
Studying at the University of Glasgow has been an enriching experience. The historic campus, excellent academics, and vibrant student life make it a great place to learn and grow. The city is welcoming and full of cultural activities.
It’s a good university, lots of support in place over would say that it’s quite easy to become isolated- not many things feel entirely inclusive and welcoming!
I had just arrived here last winter. One night in November, I had an emergency and was sent to the hospital for surgery. I was alone and far away and felt very panicked. However, the staff of the apartment cared about me and my classmates helped me. I felt the warmth of home.I love Scotland! I love Glasgow！！I love Kelvin Court ！
good very good good course good professors
Academically rigorous syllabus. Very experienced professors and opportunities to gain hands-on experience in your field of study.
Too many options and there's not enough time to explore everything
I’ve had a mixed experience with the uni but overall I’m happy
Itals good and overall experience is better
There has been noise during lunch break, and after reporting to the front desk that the bathroom floor drain is broken, no one came to repair it.
I have been a student for just over a month and am in love with the university and environment.
Sometimes hard to connect to wifi and jt takes an hour to fix
It’s alright, it’s definitely the people there that make it a nice place
For studying, there are many good spots
Maybe could you think carefully about rescheduling the kitchen services?
Very nice university, nice campus and good courses offered.
all good, I just wish the buses were better for those living in the city centre
Campus is overall nice but the wifi can be frustrating.
The campus and facilities are great, the staff are always helpful. The WiFi is very unreliable and annoying but I think that's a common issue at universities with so many students.
Pretty good, WiFi definitely needs work
Campus is great, all within a walkable distance but there is always construction work going on. Lots of great clubs and societies to join as well as sports clubs. The union always has fun events on too. The Eduroam WiFi network drops a lot but is generally ok.
