Top-class faculty, wonderful facilities, and an environment that is truly about companionship and camaraderie, and not about individual competition. I can't think of a better place in the entire world for me to receive my education, and I wish I didn't have to leave :)

Being in Uni is great and the staff and teachers are lovely, the only downside is it’s hard to get onto the wifi sometimes which takes a while but all in all pretty good practice rooms and the environment is amazing!

I am at the Wallace Studios most of the time so I can't really comment on the main building but the ballet studios are fantastic and we are very lucky as other ballet schools do not have similar level facilities.

I like this building, it’s very friendly stuff here, very close to RCS building, I like the furniture here, the atmosphere in student campus! The one things - is WiFi not working in elevator, but it’s really small thing. And lot of fire alarms😅 But anyway I’m strongly recommend this accommodation!

RCS is an amazing place to study!! The staff and teachers are so supportive, understanding and very encouraging. The bonds you make with students not from your course but others within RCS is truly amazing. The resources available to students is fantastic and the Conservatoire really care about the health and well-being of students as they truly want the best for their students.

I like RCS but a main issue is that the building is too hot all the time. Also there is no signal in a lot of the building and it’s quite a hard place to navigate. However I do like the location and the atmosphere inside.

As an international student, RCS is one of the schools that has been very helpful. As a dancer and an artist RCS really is a space for you to grow and learn. Couldn’t ask for a better school.

RCS is the perfect place for me to study towards the career of my dreams. In the BMus Vocal Studies Department, there are competitions held for all years every session, which include various genres. There are also Performance Platforms held every month. These opportunities allow every student to gain valuable performance experience. The practice rooms are great and have everything you need in them. The main Renfrew Street building is great and all the facilities including IT studios and such are mostly reliable. RCS certainly isn't the place for everyone but it is very attractive, and for good reason.

I do recommend this school for music and drama, but not for the film course. I found it unorganised, very few lessons, and I learnt more by myself than in three years in this course. I recommend an internship instead of this school.

Be aware when leaving any small children with music tutors. Some have low tolerance for creatures that might carry colds, or not concentrate for the duration of their lessons in which case they might choose to be less than professional in their treatment of said child.
