Ratings and Reviews
have been studying abroad since 2015 (more than 8 years), I have not seen such a clean, tidy, decent place for a student to stay as Riverside. One more thing I was really impressive is the management style here which was reflected on staff and the way where they treated me well. The reception staff were very nice and highly cooperative. It is really amazing place if you want an enjoyable stay.

I enjoy going to campus since it is so close to my accommodation, and love the facilities there. It motivates me to study.
I've met some of the best friends I've ever made at the University of Strathclyde. People make Glasgow, and that has easily been the highlight of me living here. Sports are also very welcoming, as you don't need to have prior experience to join many of the sports, and it's a great way to make new friends.
An amazing Uni to do my Graduate Apprenticeship with. The campus is brand new and has plenty to do within it. Union and society make up a great part of my life as well.
Everything is really good, enjoyed most of my time!

Living at Buchanan View was a great experience! The community vibe made it easy to make friends and connect with other students. The facilities at Buchanan View were top-notch. From modern study spaces to well-equipped communal areas, it made my student life more comfortable. The staff at Buchanan View were friendly and responsive. Any issues or maintenance requests were addressed promptly.

The buildings and activities are great here. The university as a whole seems unorganized and because of this, I lost money on a flight home due to strathclyde’s error.

University of Strathclyde is such a nice university to study as the staff is nice
UofG is a good place to study here.
UoG is the exellence place to learn. There was some strike from the facilitators, but that is understandable.
I would also like to mention that I thoroughly enjoyed my time staying at Gallery Apartments. All of the staff were extremely helpful and friendly during this period. It was a wonderful experience.

Great experience with studies, good facilities for students
Its a great place to learn, my supervisor was one of the most nobel intelligent people I ever knew, choose your supervisor wisely, it really makes a difference
Overall a pleasant experience. Have seen myself grow.
I was surprised when I came to this university cause I'm actually a Spanish student so the differences between my real university and strathclyde where extremely noticeable. People where always helping you and they where so kind to everyone even tho you don't know them. The quality of studies is so high and teachers are always looking to help you doing your best. The union and the gym and all kind of buildings or supplies they provide you are amazing.
A great experience!! Great student union, societies and facilities. Lecturers are often very helpful and modules are very complete.

Everything is good, better than I imagined
A good university with great facilities and opportunities 😍
Amazing student union building. The other building could be renovated to give a more updated feel, have more outdoor study areas and holding society’s accountable to have multiple meetings/activities as opposed to two and then forgetting about members
It’s a good and competitive environment to be in. The standards here are really high which means you’ll get the chance to push yourself to do the best you can. Faculty is great but the management is sometimes unhelpful.
Love my department, the staff and the course. The campus, facilities and student benefits are great
