- I liked the facility, faculty, Library, Events, Infrastructure (I would tell one of the beautiful campus in UK universities) and quality of course and curriculum
Dislikes
- There is nothing I dislike about the university all was according to my expectation but I would tell the mode of exam was bit challenging for my course and it could vary on courses..
- I have found my accommodation through university living, its a private accommodation and it cost around 530 per month, Facilities include room, own washroom and shared kitchen.
- There are university accommodations too that would be bit more expensive option and you could find thought university official websites.


Likes
- Course module and delivery was very up to date, relevant and practical information. Courses were assignment focussed that help develop deep understanding of the subject matter.
- Professors are from diverse backgrounds and global experts in their respective fields. They are also very friendly and super helpful.
- State of the art labs that let you practice what you learnt theoretically.
Dislikes
- Placement services could be better
- More options for university accomodation could be made available
- Prior information on what the exact course module is about could be useful
- I researched on Google and read the reviews before selecting the accommodation. My accommodation's name was Hyndland House and the location and reviews were good for the price. Also, a big advantage was the regular cleaning service of public spaces and the kitchen.
- My monthly rent was £650. I would definitely recommend Hyndland House and Maclay Residences.
- It is 1 mile away from the uni campus.









Likes
- - The competitive environment amongst the students, which makes any serious student motivated to study for longer period with a clear purpose in mind.
- - The beautiful historic walls of the 573-year old university.
- - The scenic landscape of gardens spread across the campus. It's preferable to carry a camera, or a good quality phone as there would be many captivating moments to capture while strolling across the campus
Dislikes
- - There are limited University accommodation facilities which are nearby to the university, as most of the available accommodation services are way far from the campus and require a transport to travel. So, it's better to book earlier in advance.
- - The weather can be depressing at times, with sudden rains and cold breeze.
- - During the months of November to January, there may be much less exposure of sunlight, with sun setting at around 3:30-4 pm itself. Due to which, I developed depressive thoughts during the initial days of stay, and had to eventually consult advice from the wellbeing team of the university, which later helped out significantly.
- I had applied for my accommodation through the university portal.
- The monthly rent of my accommodation is around £700, and the facilities include 24/7 water and electricity supply, Unlimited WIFI, ensuite bedrooms, common space for playing video games and a pool table.
- The challenges that I encountered while securing accommodation were the lack of multiple choices, as I was pretty late for the university accommodation application process.
- Yes, based on the quality and environment of the Blackfriars accommodation, I would definitely like to recommend my overview for future students seeking accommodation in Glasgow.
- My accommodation is around 3 km from the college campus, which is one of the major flaws for me. While most of the Indian students stay in my accommodation as it is nearby to the city centre.












Likes
- Campus
- Culture
- Support (Professors and Seniors)
Dislikes
- Strict in terms of plagiarism
- No free parking for students
- Rush in finding student accommodation
- I stayed off-campus. It was a shared house with a few other students, and it felt more budget-friendly than staying on campus.
- I found it through online platforms and student groups on Telegram. Some seniors shared helpful links, and I just contacted the landlord directly.
- The rent was around £600 per month. It included basic facilities like Wi-Fi, a washing machine, and a shared kitchen, but utilities like electricity and gas were extra.
- It was hard to find a place within budget near the university. Some landlords didn’t respond, and a few asked for a guarantor, which was a problem for me as an international student.
- Start searching early, maybe 2-3 months before moving. Join student groups online, and don’t trust every listing—some are fake. Also, try to contact seniors for advice.
- My place was about 20 minutes by bus from campus. Most Indian students stay in areas like Partick or Hillhead because they are close to the university and have a lot of shared accommodations.

- Research oriented curriculum in par with industrial standards.
- The ancient infrastructure of the university( also called the Hogwarts of Scotland)
- The opportunity to learn from classmates and professors for all around the globe inculcating a rich diverse educational experience.
Dislikes
- While the infrastructure of the university is breath taking, practically attending the classes would make us to run from one corner to another corner is very time consuming. It would be really helpful if they can work on the time table and class allotment schedule keeping this fact into consideration.
- Would appreciate if we are provided with more industrial visits.
- Since the Masters program is 1 year, I think it would be really interesting if we can choose to do a dissertation under the University or in a private institution.
- I lived in Student accommodation from the University portal and invite.
- Student accommodation is expensive but convenient. We will have a lot of student interaction activities by the University.
- I stayed only a mile from university. Most of the Indians stay in and around university . Most of us take student accommodation but some also take up private accommodation in sharing which is budget friendly.

- Focused on real-time application-based education. All the given assessments must not be copied from any source. A student should use their knowledge about the concept and accordingly work on them. All the assessments helps to understand a student about how the things work in industry.
- Strict action against plagiarism: The university takes plagiarism cases very seriously. This leaves no option for a student to copy other's assignments.
- Help to build teamwork: There are many projects, case studies, and research-based projects that need to be done in groups of students. This helps a student work in a team. In this model, all the students should take part in the project work. Otherwise, they will not receive high scores in delta scoring from other students.
Dislikes
- Less idea about the curriculum: It takes time to understand the whole curriculum and exam patterns. Professor should be more focused to make every students understand about the curriculum.
- Sometimes course becomes more hectic with multiple assignments of the different subjects with the same time of submission. Since, each of the course work takes good amount of time. It becomes hectic during the deadline.
- Since, University conducts less classes for each subjects. Because of that professor doesn't go deep into the topic instead they just teach the topic on high level.
- I have got accommodation off-campus (rented flat). I found this flat in the spare room. application.
- Monthly rent was 500 pounds without any bills. It includes all the furnishings like beds, study tables, washing machines, freezers, and heaters.
- Securing a flat is not an easy task, as I was looking for something near a university and at a cheaper rate. Challenges faced, like fewer properties available near the university with higher rent. No response from the landlord. Contract issues.
- Future students should look for private student accommodations for better facilities and security.
- It's only a 5-10 minute walk from the university. Most of the Indians stay 2 miles from the university.

- The campus is very beautiful. You get the best experience here.
- It has the biggest library space of 14 floors and various study spaces on campus are open till late at night.
- The Uni organises events for every other occasion and there are various societies you can get involved with. This boosts your self confidence, you communicate with various people from diverse backgrounds.
Dislikes
- There are a lot of things happening at once. pretty hard to concentrate on one thing.
- The course length is 1 year which gives you very less time to settle in and look forward for your course.
- The course fees is a bit expensive compared to other colleges in UK but at the same time it has nice Overall ranking.
-
I applied through university portal. The university has dedicated links with different spaces for accommodations.
-
The monthly rent for my is around £650. The room is personal and Kitchen and bathroom are shared with 5 people . The security is pretty tight. Noone can enter just like that in our accommodation. It's pretty safe and secure.
-
I just applied while in India before coming and i got offered a place. It was pretty easy to get student accommodation.
-
I would recommend to get university accommodation as it will be helpful to get to know the area and then later on u can look for a private stay. If you know someone who is already living here, then u can opt private accommodation.
-
My accommodation is like 15 mins walk from the uni. Indians have societies in Uni , u can connect with them. It's pretty much a personal preference but yeah i have most of my friends in university accommodations only.

Likes
- In my opinion, the university being a russel group university helps a lot when looking for jobs so that was a plus for me.
- Then the curriculum of Data Science Course was very vast and well thought out.
- University of Glasgow has a very good reputation in the field of research which I experienced during my time here, as it showed in professor's teachings.
Dislikes
- Surviving in an abroad country is difficult and that too along with studies is difficult. This is something you have to manage on your own, there will be no support from the university in this regard.
- The teaching style is very different from India, as here nothing is taught in sense of teacher explaining things, you have doubts you can ask them but you have to explore things yourself.
- Teaching here is basically just reading out presentation slides, main focus should be on the doubt sessions where you will get your doubts cleared.
- I opted for off-campus as it was cheaper as compared to on-campus.
- I used google to look for different accommodations present and then chose one of them by considering the price and distance from the university.
- The monthly rent for my accommodation was 640 pounds. Its a tedious process to look for accommodation here as every accommodation fill very quickly.
- My recommendation would be to start early if you are sure which university you are going to join. Most indian students stay in on campus accommodations.

- Well, As I have been doing a joint degree being delivered by 4 different universities, I attended three universities in person in three different countries. All these three universities were very different in terms of facilities. In terms of accommodation, the Tallinn University dorm was cheap and available but the university accommodation at Glasgow University was costly and not easily available. The same was the case of the university in Ireland.
- The library opening hours at university of Glasgow and Maynooth University were very good as these were bigger universities than Tallinn University.
- Student support systems as in counselling services were good at all universities.
Dislikes
- But please note as I was doing one semester at each university that was one of the reasons I was facing difficulty in terms of having acc. But it could have been arranged better.
Well, I wanted to change my field of work and experience an international educational system. So, I applied for this course as it seemed very fascinating to me to do a master's in 3 different countries. I got a fully funded scholarship as well. My overall experience has been very enriching as I get to travel, study with people from diverse backgrounds, and experience different cultures and academic environments. My tuition fee, living cost, health insurance and airfare were all covered except my visa application fee. So, it was not that stressful financially for me to pursue this degree which I understand is very expensive if you are going to do it self-funded. Universities like the University of Glasgow are very reputed in the top 100 ranking for their quality of education, research and other things. Overall, my experience was good but definitely very challenging and stressful at times as well as I have been moving to a new country every semester which means finding a place to stay, visa applications settling in a new place and constant planning of travel, academic stuff and other things. It was challenging no doubt but very much worth to be experienced.
