nice .............................
The university could do with more seating and study spaces as well as parking spaces.
many facilities are available, there is enough for most students to use however, during busy term periods, especially at the start of the week there is not enough study space and facilities. Great blue and green space to promote sustainability
Overall good university. Mix of things to do and good location.
WiFi is slow in all areas of the campus. A student union is usually a cheaper alternative to drinking in the town but that is not the case at Stirling's student union.
Good student environment. Scenery allows for a nice escape from studies.
My overall experience has been enjoyable, some troubles with WiFi, not had much exposure to the Student Union, never needed it mainly because I never really knew what they did for the University and it's Students.

Can't complain. the place is good
Not bad. Campus is lovely, facilities are good.
The University of Stirling is lovely. It has everything you need as a student.
its a really beautiful campus and lovely to walk around
Wonderful university! I’m sure many can agree with this sentiment.
Great access to facilities with a wide range of clubs. The internet is fast and works quite well.
Good but need to improve more of international students interactive activities
Best choice I’ve made, loving my university experience. 💕
University has good environment and nice infrastructure
Loved the atmosphere and weather, good energy vibes from facility and staff
I have really enjoyed my time at the University of Stirling over the past few years. It has been such a positive and rewarding experience, both academically and personally. The staff and lecturers are incredibly supportive, approachable, and always willing to help whenever needed. They genuinely care about students’ progress and wellbeing, which makes a huge difference throughout your studies. The campus itself is beautiful and has a great atmosphere. The facilities are excellent, with great study spaces, modern buildings, and plenty of areas to relax and socialise. It is a lovely environment to learn in and makes university life enjoyable. Overall, my experience at Stirling has been amazing, and I’m so happy to be completing my final year here. I would highly recommend it to anyone considering studying at the university.
Fantastic University and even better people
A university in between nature and relaxing spaces. Very good student support services
Good place very senic and beautiful
The University campus is Beautiful and the student union is so supportive!
The campus facilities are good all in all, I would say I do struggle to find a toilet sometimes so I think these should be better signposted. Unfortunately the study areas are pretty much full by 10am so I think they should invest in more spaces for these. I have joined a couple of societies since I’ve started here (F1 and Book club) and both of these are very good I would say the F1 society caters more to people who drink as they don’t have a lot of sober socials which has made it annoying as I would love to meet Formula 1 fans but I can’t drink yet so I’m not allowed into the places they meet. I haven’t really had much involvement with the student union but from what I’ve seen they are really good at representing the students at the university. Also haven’t used the careers services yet so don’t want to comment on something I don’t have knowledge about. The WiFi has been good for me so far haven’t had any issues with connection but I have seen some students say it doesn’t work well.
It’s been amazing, I didn’t think that the experience would be so smooth.
Very nice institute to study and research
The uni is great, lots of sports/club facilities. the teaching spaces are great, study spaces are good
Great uni with good resources and excellent teaching staff. Lovely campus with a beautiful landscape.
It is a very beautiful place to study
Great uni, great to make friends and good to socialise.
Beautiful campus though Buildings are ugly
Nice uni, love the environment
studying at this university has been such a fulfilling and enriching experience.
Campus is breathtaking. Makes the entire experience worth it alone.
This the best student accommodation, that I have been. Even, I have booked the same room for my next academic year.
best uni ever, amazing campus and societys
Great uni, and lovely campus. Good facilities
A great place to study and connect. Coming overseas to study sport psychology is one of the best decisions I've made
not great internet or campus but students make it great
The best campus I have ever seen, most lecturers I’ve had can’t do enough for you and really do care
It's pricy but worth it , I get good security and the staff are lovely
The university accommodates to all student needs and provides support for all students
Alright, some modules work better than others
The campus is easily the best thing about Stirling Uni. It's crazy how much of an ecosystem it actually is, squirrels, rabbits, fish, robins, the friendliest swans and ducks I've ever seen (clearly very used to the presence of people), and you may even spot the occasional deer near Pathfoot. There are some pretty good events that pop up every week like the therapy dogs, but I think most of the activities poorly advertised as often not a lot of people show up. Sometimes, you'll only get an email about an event half an hour before it starts and there's just nothing to be done at that point. The fact that the Stirling nightlife is so shoddy doesn't help the situation, I don't think. There's one nightclub in the entire city and I've only heard bad things about it. Other than that, it's a good city with lots of easy public transport pretty much everywhere, and the campus is usually very lively during the day with lots of amenities.
It’s fine, but the principal pays himself too much and puts rental prices up.
The union basically doesnt exist as they were sold to campus eats, and part of the union building is still closed after RAAC concrete was found which is a shame. we do have a wide range of societies and sports clubs which is nice
University of Stirling is amazing. Great facilities and very friendly staff. My professors were really good. Gained a lot of valuable knowledge.
A beautiful campus. great experience
The best campus I have seen, with amazing services provided for undergraduate and postgraduate students!
The campus has been undergoing continuous development over the three years I have attended. In particular, the sports facilities are superb. In terms of facilities, all of the available cafes/ eateries are reasonably priced and offer a great variety of food. One thing I would like to see in future is the Nisa shop being changed for a more affordable shop, it seems they take advantage with high prices.
Overall I am happy with the University
No nightlife and everything in town closes at 18;00
The union could have a lot more events going on however it is good during the day to eat at an affordable price or just to study.
Having a great time at stirling university. Some buildings are a little outdated, but overall, it’s an amazing university!!i
It's been a great experience so far. I wish there was a bit more community building stuff for the new students, especially thos who are just in the University for a short period.
Wonderful uni! Beautiful campus!
Is a great institution and it has a welcome environment with staff.
As a student from the Republic of Ireland I never thought it was possible to attend such a beautiful university outside of Dublin but I am so happy to be in Stirling University and everything is just amazing and I have no complaints. I've met so many great people and lectures that have supported me and helped me so far . I'm so grateful.
Stirling uni is great for all who love sports
It’s an amazing University with the most beautiful campus 🤩
The campus experience and free-time facilities are great. Could have a better selection of Archaeology books in the library.
Beautiful study environment. The lecturers are nice and helpful
As an international student, I’ve found the University of Stirling to be absolutely beautiful. The student union does an amazing job organizing new and fun activities every day, making it easy to meet people and get involved. The lecturers are incredibly helpful, and every staff member is so welcoming and kind. There are plenty of clubs to join, and the gym is well-equipped with everything you need. The campus is inclusive, with gender-neutral washrooms and disability-friendly facilities. I truly love this uni!
The University has a good support system for international students.
This is going to be one of the best university in the world!
My university has a beautiful campus with stunning views and great weather. There's plenty of seating for students, and the library is excellent for all-day study sessions with access to computers, which is helpful if you lose your laptop. The campus is clean, well-maintained, and the classrooms are top-notch, offering a great environment for learning with advanced technology used during lectures.
Campus: The University of Stirling is located in a scenic and vast campus built around a lake and lush vegetation. The combination of the modern and old buildings makes it conducive for studying as well as taking a rest. Academics: The university has a large number of programs and especially strong faculties in such areas as business administration, psychology and environmental studies. Most of the teaching staff is of quite a high quality and the courses are accessible with easy-going lecturers encouraging participation and critical thinking. Facilities: Stirling possesses outstanding facilities including a resourceful library, state-of-the-art laboratories and sporting facilities. The student union, which is active in organizing events and providing other services like counseling and career services, is quite active. Experience: In addition to the amazing sceneries and facilities offered by the University of Stirling, students are provided with rich academic programs.
Excellent library facilities. Missing culture such as a nice bar restaurant with music & more wine culture
It's actually a great place for international students
Overall good uni, Wi-Fi is pretty bad. While I was there a lot of the union was shut due to concrete and didn’t really go in first year other than to the freshers events so can’t really comment on that. Lecturers are, on my course anyway, all extremely helpful, understanding and won’t hesitate to help you out if you ask for a hand. Accommodation team on the other hand are some of the most useless people I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with, rude, arrogant and couldn’t organise themselves out a wet paper bag if they tried, do not under any circumstances stay in halls past first year, they are absolutely horrendous, disgusting overpriced dumps. There’s plenty clubs and societies to choose from with a bunch of state of the art sports facilities and potentially the nicest gym in Scotland, frequent busses (although somewhat unreliable with timings) to the city centre and back well into the early hours of the morning and the food places on campus are great
To continue, Kitchen is an absolutely disgraceful state- there’s Student living and then there’s this Bathrooms are unacceptable- people do not know how to clean and staff are rarely on site to clean Overall, this dump is not worth 499 a month and I’d rather jam a screwdriver up my nose then live here
Best student experience at Stirling uni!
Great University campus with lots of clubs and societies to join.
I have completed two years of study in University of stirling. It has been great so far, the facilities are mostly new providing a cosy space to study. Communication between the students and university can be quick and efficient. However, this isn't so consistent and you can find yourself struggling to get information back.
Beautiful campus and environment
10/10, best student hall, and the best managment, suzie and abbie, and the Dougi, elaine, terrific people, made every effort to make sure student stay experience was as best as possible.
Good university overall. The professors have been usually helpful, with a good level of teaching.
MY EXPERIENCE IN THAT UNIVERSITY IS HORRIBLE. IN MY ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE BOTH IN EUROPE AND AFRICA, I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCE SUCH KIND OF TREATMENT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE SCHOOL HAS NO REGARD FOR THE RIGHTS OF STUDENTS AND CONSIDERED IT PROCEDURAL CORRECT. THIS IS THE SCHOOL I HAVE TWO CONTROVERSIAL RESULTS ON A PARTICULAR MODULE AT THE SAME TIME. THE FIRST HUMAN DEVELOPMENT MODULE IN SOCIAL WORK. THE SECOND WAS PRACTICE PLACEMENT. EVEN BEFORE THE MID OF MY PLACEMENT, I HAVE BEEN PENCILED OUT FOR FAILURE SIMPLY BECAUSE I CRITICIZED BREACH OF PRACTICE AGREEMENT . CAN YOU IMAGINE WHERE A DIRECTOR AND PRACTICE EDUCATOR GANGED UP AGAINST A STUDENT, SIMPLY BECAUSE THE STUDENT WAS CONTENDING FOR HIS RIGHTS? COULD YOU PLEASE PROVIDE THE PEOPLE YOU USED TO CONDEMN THE INNOCENT AFRICAN TO A HEARING FOR THEM TO PROVE WHAT YOUR UNIVERSITY USED AGAINST HIM. UP TILL NOW, THE DIRECTOR AND THE PRACTICE EDUCATOR IS YET TO PROVIDE THE SOURCES OF EVIDENCE. THEY KEEP GOING IN CIRCLES.
The uni is very nice aesthetically, and has a wide range of courses
Stirling uni has amazing facilities especially if you are into your sports with plenty of societies you can join. I am in year 2 so can’t compliment the careers and services yet. The wifi at the uni is okay. Most days it works great other days you can’t log on it
Honestly love the uni, I’ve gotten support for mental health issues and support for my dyslexia
Amazing place with all the facilities. The library and the atrium is awesome to study with such cozy places. The campus is so beautiful with beautiful scenery
The campus is the best part of this university, beautiful in every season, and much larger than you’d expect.
University of Stirling is a beautiful campus with top notch facilities
A beautiful university with many useful resources and professors with a passion for teaching and learning
The university is amazing! The course works and assignments may be a little too hectic, but the environment is wonderful and you get to meet a lot of people.
It's a good uni to study at and has wonderful professors and tutors
Has a wonderful campus, very spacious and comfortable common spaces. Only a few construction delays making it difficult to access certain parts of the Cottrell building, hopefully will be remedied soon enough.
Great facilities but sometimes lacks space for all students
It is a beautiful campus with loads of activities and with wonderful lectures
I love love my uni from the facilities available to the diversity we have
Decent places to eat on campus, Co-op is the only shop in campus (albeit pricey too)
The internet or Wi-Fi of the school may be a problem in use.
Amazing university with alot of facilities.
University campus is amazing... Would definitely recommend it!
It is an amazing place to study and meet people from many nationalities.
Brilliant university. Love the campus.
Good University, with a beautiful campus, excited to study here.
