- The Infrastructure: I liked the infrastructure of the University a lot. For a Harry Potter fan, studying at this University is like a dream come true. Cloisters look heavenly pretty during winter/Christmas. You can outshine on your Instagram with just one picture of a University building, but what will one do with the building when there's no placement, and no job security after graduation? .
- Faculty: Most of the faculty members are really nice and have good knowledge of the subject. But you will definitely find some of them just reading the ppts and saying anything and everything to satisfy your questions. null
- College Life: Life abroad is full of fun. In University you'll meet people from different ethnicities and beliefs. There will be great exposure and fun every day. null
- Alumni: UoG has a widespread alumni network of noble prize holders, business man's, scientists, etc. You can always exploit this advantage to ripen your fruits. null
Dislikes:
- No placement: You have to pay a hefty amount of fees just like Indian IITs and IIMs in India, but you won't get any placement unlike them. These Universities organize career events and counselling sessions to provide placements, but reality is start-ups come to sessions to promote themselves and bigger firms just come and give you their website address or cards and go off by saying check online. Then it's up to you only to apply, face 100's of rejection and finally make it if you can. null
- Lack of funding: After BREXIT, most of the Universities in the UK are facing funding crises, that's why they don't have internships/ research opportunities, especially for science students. null
- One-year Masters Program: One year program is too short to analyze, adapt and act. But it can be good for those who have good work experience already and looking to grow rapidly. null
To be honest, I chose this college in a hurry. I also got letters from the University of Edinburgh and UCL, but my financial conditions didn't allow me to join UCL as you've to show a 12.5Lakh London living allowance to join it, whereas 9.5 for the rest of the UK. Fees were bearable for UOG, So I decided to go for it. Also, I wanted a blend of Biotech and management programs, as I didn't want to pursue a PhD or research and wanted to join a biotech firm as a Project manager or in Operations, so I thought this course and this Uni would be perfect. I would rate my overall experience as 2.5/5.

- The architecture is gothic and amazing. Student accommodation and student hubs/library are really good. The student union is quite helpful as well. null
I joined this university as I was attracted to this University since my course is research-oriented and this particular University places well in the world ranking in terms of research. The modules were laid out well and practical laboratory courses are the highlight. Coming to the admissions process - it was very easy and all online. Any hassles mid-way will be taken care of by the Uni admin department.

- I choose UoG because they were offering an amalgamation of both biotechnology and management in my masters. They are a Russel group university and had a good QS and TOI ranking. null
I live in university accommodation, I have my personal room but share a kitchen and washroom with 4 other people. It costs around 540 pounds a month.
University of glasgow is a very well renowned institution especially in the field of biological sciences and I also wanted to experience life in the UK
