The facilities are amazing, eveyrthing is either very new, cool 70's buildings that are well maintained, or very old buildings like the royal college that are beautiful to be in and still have great equipment. There is always tonnes of support (even more than a lot of people care for!) and EVERYTHING is super close together, literally nothing is more than 5 minutes from halls including the incredible Strath Sport. The shops are nearby, and so is the train station, bus station, and all of the city centre and clubs, we never have any trouble walking where we want to go, and never get put off due to something being too far. Overall it always feels like everything has been thought off, right down to kitchens with microwaves and kettles on campus and in the union where you can heat food brought from home. Wifi is literally everywhere too, and very quick, overall an unbeatable uni in the best location.

The classrooms are sometimes loud or not very new and the staff not really knowledgeable abt how to help especially as an international student. Otherwise the social life is amazing, good gym and modern library
Academic wise, great. Facilities and staff create supportive learning environment. While the student union is a lovely building and nice to be in, there’s a lack of community and the union is usually empty most nights. Disappointing to see when a student union should be busy all times of the day
Great university with great facilities especially sport and social facilities
Loved my experience at Strathclyde so far, both at uni and socially
Strathclyde university is a great uni with many student opportunity and societies.
Hmm as a research phd , so far so good for my feild of intrest, didnt get so involved with undergrads, so honestly I don't know, but as a postgraduate its good
lovely campus and great union. lecturers and tutors are mostly all keen on answering any questions you have.
I love all the green spaces but questionable teaching
Nice spaces but very questionable teaching since Covid
Career services needs ti be improved
Its a pleasure to study here. Really love the faculty.
very happy with my university choice
Very good university，in the center of Glasgow
I took a programming course at the university. The quality of teaching materials was so poor that it resulted in having to spend hours googling how to fix the code. Might as well have not bothered becoming a student at this university and bought "python for dummies" and taught myself
Good university experience, staff willing to help and further your learning

Great university great location
Really good university with helpful staff
A very good university with all the support throughout the course and even after you are completed.
The flat is very well located in the city centre, surrounded by supermarkets, restaurants and bars, and only one minute to the metro station, making life very convenient. If you have a room facing the Clyde river, you can also see the river. The manager is very welcoming and friendly and you can go to him if you need any help. The flats are not all exactly the same type of room, my room has a large bathroom and is very clean, while the bed is very soft and comfortable. I am very happy with my room and the flat and most importantly the rent was not too expensive!
Understanding lectures and staff with amazing facilities available to everyone
Overall satisfactory in all aspects.
Everyone at Strathclyde is so welcoming and happy to help where necessary

The house is comfortable and the staff is friendly. I have made many good friends. It is very happy to live in the city center by the river
The University of Strathclyde has a first class teaching and high quality research environment.
Good facilities available, nice union
The food on campus is not very good. There are many clubs and societies for a variety of interests. The university location is quite good. There aren't nearly enough general study spaces (they get full very quickly)
Amazing university with a lot of facilities for an engineer like me
Good university, good professor
A really good place for learning
This university is great if you’re looking to meet long lasting friends.
Best uni in glasgow and best campus
It’s good I love it there! the business school is the best
I love uni, the location and the societies make Strathclyde better. I enjoy studying here
You can get many hands from the university,but sometimes their response maybe a bit late.
very good university to study and good school facilities and always good functions. Hope to graduate smoothly in 2 years！
A truly friendly environment for new students
I have been studying in ISC and it has helped me improve more and contribute more to society
My MBA PROGRAM HAS BEEN A GREAT ONE FOR MY MANAGERIAL PROGRESS AS I CAN CLEARLY CONNECT WITH THE MODULES
Amazing university and great infrastructures!! The only thing that was lagging is due to the pandemic things were mostly online which made me a bit sad sometimes as you feel the investment isn't worth it if you're an international student.
great university Good connection for studying and entertainment in various spots around the buildings/campus.
Good lecturers, friendly staff and help services, loads of opportunities sent and recommended to you.
A very friendly university community with a huge range of places to study and clubs/sports to get involved in.
It is quite a good university with immense internal exposure and networking opportunities.
University is good, but lack those market skills. If more of interaction with certain local companies that would be helpful for the students to get better exposure and get relevant market skills.
nice university for finance students
University of Strathclyde is a an amazing historic university where you feel are in the middle of a paradise! Meeting people from different countries and cultures was a great exposure for me as an international student
Good one to explore but restricted students in the initial phase with online classes. Didn't feel like attending university at that point of time.
University of Strathclyde is one of the best universities to study your chosen major, the tutors and the staff are all friendly and nice. Strath Union is a place to study and socialise..
Mechanical engineering needs better organisation
Great amazing wonderful the best
University of Glasgow is a an amazing historic univeristy where you feel are in the middle of a Harry Poter movie! Meeting people from different countries and cultures was a great exposure for me as an international student.
Nice facilities. love hiking every morning to my class. I like the new Student Union building and the library.
I've studied at uni of strathclyde for 2 years. I have enjoyed my time at the uni. Although COVID limited clubs and societies online clubs and societies have strived.
Excellent Architecture course and facilities.
Very professional. Overall good experience.
The university is clean and has many extra cirricular activities
Great university, one of the best decisions in my life.
Great university, students are super friendly, lovely campus spaces
Staff on my course are usually helpful and informative. You feel researched and have access to help. However, my first year politics class last year was appalling so I do not recommend.
A good school for postgraduate studies in terms of reputation but somewhat lacking in terms of interaction with the faculty, possibly due to COVID restrictions during the 21/22 academic year.
I love my university. It helps me build my future and opens so many doors for me.
The location is perfect, as it is actually in the city center. There are many places to study, eat or socialize in the campus. The library and the gym are worth using.
The University of Strathclyde provides excellent knowledge and support to students combining high quality of research and teaching!
To be honest, i myself do not have much suggestions for the review, since everything over here is good enough:)
A great university to get in. I feel proud that I m a part of it
We haven't got chance to enter the campus due to the restrictions of Covid-19.
Overall, the amount of assignments is obviously more than other universities, it may as advantage or disadvantage factor depend on different student. However, international student may spend more effort at the beginning to follow the course pace.
Great university with a really good Student's Union!
