Top tier university with international reputation.
I think the apartment is very clean, comfortable to live in, and the facilities are new
I absolutely loved my stay at Kelvingrove House in Glasgow! Its prime West End location is unbeatable—just a 10-minute walk to the University of Glasgow, with easy access to the city centre, transport links and Kelvingrove’s iconic parks and galleries. The on-site Tesco Express makes daily shopping a breeze, and the well-equipped facilities including a gym, study room and high-speed WiFi cover all student needs perfectly. All bills included in the rent takes the stress out of living, and the modern, clean en-suite/studio rooms with ample storage feel like a cosy home from home. The 24/7 security and friendly management add an extra layer of comfort, and the vibrant surrounding area with cafes, restaurants and student spots makes it the ideal base for university life in Glasgow. Highly recommend!
The student residence offers a quiet atmosphere, convenient facilities, and thoughtful management, making it an ideal place for both study and daily life.
The management of the apartment is excellent, the environment is very quiet, there are many activities, the maintenance is very timely, the equipment is new and diverse.
good My university is a beautiful, historic and expensive Scottish school. The teachers here are very responsible.
The school has a great environment and lots of activities.
Good, an accommodation fits a lord.
Great university to study and great career services
I like this small house for the first time I came to Glasgow. I don't think my choice is wrong. scotway house is in the top few apartments in Glasgow in view, price and location. The location is the best! You will arrive at the big partick station in five minutes, and there are also affordable supermarkets and high-end supermarkets around! There are often activities in the apartment, and the staff is also very friendly, especially John. The only thing that can be optimized in the gym~(o^^o)
I think the living experience is very good, with cheap house prices and comfortable rooms. The front desk staff is very friendly. There are many activities in the apartment.
Great Campus and facilities. A range of welcome events organised by the clubs and societies.
A very big studio room at a low price. No other nearby student accommodation is cheaper or offers a room and kitchen this spacious. There is a Tesco right downstairs and an Asian supermarket and an NHS GP surgery within 3 mins walk. Very welcoming and friendly repection and staff, everything is feel like home:) Jingwen Lyu

For my first semester in my first year, I had a really great experience here in my university. I made so many new friends and had a great time with them.
Good uni, excellent teacher and fantastic life here.
The experience of living here is extremely pleasant. The entertainment facilities are comprehensive and well-equipped, covering various leisure and recreational needs. The apartment regularly organizes a variety of community activities and often provides delicious treats for residents to enjoy. Moreover, the basic infrastructure here is of a high standard, ensuring a convenient and comfortable daily life. What truly touched me was that when I got injured accidentally, the front desk staff immediately stepped in to provide urgent first-aid treatment for me, offering both professional care and heartfelt warmth.
It is very comfortable and the environment is excellent. The dormitory is fully equipped with various facilities and has a reasonable layout. The staff of the apartment are also very nice. There are also many facilities in the public areas.

Glasgow Tramworks is a reliable and efficient transit option. It connects key areas quickly, with comfortable seats and clear route signs—highly recommended for daily commutes.
l am very enjoying in here and so happy to live here
The university is a lovely, friendly place. It’s very nice to be in a space where the humanities are actually still appreciated, back home that’s not the case. I have had an absolutely amazing time here, especially joining the Scottish Country Dancing Club and Gaming Society has made my time very exciting. I was also very happy to be valued and seen as a non-binary student through t my entire stay.
Helpful staff and enjoyable courses
People are not bad but the buildings are kinda…

Best university in Glasgow and best experience
Great institution, living up to expectations
Everything else is good but wifi could be better
You won't believe when you are welcomed like a champ. Welcome week is one of the best for freshers. Great and lots of study spaces, Student Support, and Lively community. Also a great opportunity of employment with career support services.At last not least, Scholarship!!!!!!!
I’ve met very friendly teachers, and even though my English isn’t very good, they’ve given me the courage to speak up and use it.
Great university facilities for study, quite beautiful and plenty of places to unwind nearby.
Excellent accommodations, but very big, more maps across the campus would be great for us international students that just arrived!
I like the university, i like the friends and people i have met though lectures tutorials and societies
I think my university is very good.
Studying at Glasgow has been wonderful thus far! I’m in 3rd year now and things are ramping up, but I feel well prepared for my future knowing the work I’m putting in here is being supported by the staff and student community. The location of the uni is great and everyone enjoys the park that connects to the university in the warmer summer months. Sports facilities are good and there’s a society for everyone here. I’m very happy to be a student at such a diverse university.
I love my experience here! Main building literally looks like Hogwarts, and other buildings are well-equipped. Student life is very diverse, with tons of sports, clubs, and events to participate in. Great career services, from little details like CV-tweaking to planning your career. Best university!
I like the University building, museums restaurants, and coffee shops—the facilities for students including gym, study room, and meeting room are nice and beautiful. Alos, the university location is perfect and easy to access from different way. There are multiple subway stations , and bus stops.
Great place to meet friends or go out for food or a drink. The campus is massive as well but it just means more space for everyone
Staff have been extremely supportive and it is a friendly and encouraging environment for learning.
Honestly a really nice campus, very clean and taken care of which is very nice. The only complaint is that I have to stay later for labs and whatnot but that's around the time the WiFi decides to not work which is annoying.
The finest university With lovely scenery And friendly people I'm very fond of it
It is a really good university with many opportunities for students to join.
