- - 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.

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.

- 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.

- Terrific infrastructure and a great historical value.
- Excellent study spaces and world class resources.
- Great unions and societies.
Dislikes
- No on campus placements.
- Tight schedule.
I was motivated to move ahead in tech and learn more about the emerging field of Data Science. Since I had plans to study abroad from a very young age, I started looking for the top universities. After applying with my proposal to the top universities in the UK, I got selected in 2 of the most prestigious universities. Amongst them, I decided to go ahead with the University of Glasgow because of its excellent research output in my domain. The course contents were the latest and quite daunting. And the cherry on top was the amazing city of Glasgow in the heart of Scotland.

- University was really good. It was in the Top 100 universities in the world.
- Quality of education was good. The courses were very practical where we had to brainstorm the solution. The exams were very practical oriented and didn't ask any theoretical questions. The staff was very supportive of all the things.
Dislikes
- I enrolled during the Covid time which didn't give me full exposure to the university facilities. There is no placement system, so I had to search for jobs own my own. There is a lot of competition in job, so it takes a lot of time to find the right job."
Overall experience was really good and it is always worth studying at a top university.

University of Glasgow is one of the oldest universities in the UK and the department of Computing Science is also a reputed one. There is a very good research history for the University and a strong alumini network

Scotland is investing huge money to become the data capital of Europe. Glasgow is a friendly city and fun. The university is ranked among the top 100 universities in the world and 7th in the UK for my field.
