Love going to Glasgow, loads of fun in different clubs would recommend club Tropicana for its 70/80s music. Transport is really easy to use as there’s regular buses and trains that are cheap as chips and aren’t a maze of routes. If you’re broke af there’s loads of charity shops and places to eat that doesn’t cost a lot of money, like the Chinese restaurant next to central station, or the abundance of Wetherspoons across the city.

Glasgow is very underrated, the shopping is awesome and it’s a very big city with so much to do and see. It’s not an overcrowded city, the nightlife / food is great (huge variety).

Glasgow city centre is centered around student and provides everything you could need. The nightlife is great with a lot of clubs open 7 nights a week, and clubs for whatever your preferred genre of music, my favourite being sub club on Jamaica st. despite being quite a pricey night out with tickets typically costing around 10 pounds per event. There are several cheap places to eat in and around the city centre as well as increasing variety of vegetarian and vegan options. One major drawback living in Glasgow (particularly in the west end) is the cost of living. My first year I stayed in university halls which is good for parties and socially but comes with a price (£130 per week and that was for the shittiest halls Glasgow uni has to offer aka Murano). I enjoyed my time here and met many of my best friends here but let’s be honest it’s way overpriced. My second, third and fourth years I rented a flat in the west with 4 friends I met in first year (in murano). This flat cost £400 per month per person and was nothing short of a shit hole. Our fridge/freezer was in a storage cupboard because the kitchen was so small, there was one mouldy bathroom and no living room so our space was extremely limited. Granted, you can find better for your money out of the west end we were limited due to distance from the university. I’ve loved living in Glasgow during my studies but like most students, I have struggled with money (even having a part time job) for the duration of my studies one and so one should carefully consider the cost of living here beforehand.

Glasgow is a rich cultured, exciting and fun city. There’s plenty to get upto from going to the lighthouse on Mitchell lane to exploring the kelvin grove park. Glasgow’s the top location for vegan and vegetarian food! But if you’re in to meat there’s still pleanty places to go.

The options for nights out and places for food are endless (and cheap!), the centre is great for shopping and there are loads of gorgeous parks such as Kelvingrove to enjoy during summer

Working close to Max’s Bar and Grill, I have had a look at their menu a few times but never had the time to pass in. I finally had a full hour to go try out Max’s Bar & Grill and I was looking forward to it. I was welcomed as I walked in the door by a waitress and was led to a seat and the girl said she would bring me a menu. I sat at my seat and waited. Then I waited some more. As I sat there I could see the girl going from table to table serving others. Taking a new order at one point then on way back to the bar, taking the time to sip on her drink and chat to the bar man.

There’s always something to do in Glasgow, constant events for everyone to join and meet others with the same interests. The people here are great too hence “people make Glasgow”. Sooo many food places to try, so many cute quirky cafes with all different price ranges so even on a budget you can enjoy almost all that Glasgow has to offer. Shopping in Glasgow is great with a large town centre housing multiple shops and two main shopping centres as well as there being many other shopping centres dotted around the city ensuring you’re never too far from one. Night life is also just like everything else in Glasgow, diverse with countless bars and clubs.

A lot of attractions and a lot to do even when you’re trying to save money. Free tourist attractions at a walking distance

Great city! Small enough to get around everywhere but big enough to have everything you need. Glasgows got many students there so has a young buzz to it but still holds lots of history. The nightlife is amazing, couldn't ask for more bars and a variety of places to go. Food is one of my favourite things about Glasgow. Whether ordering in or going out, Glasgow has absolutely everything you could think of eating. It gets a bad rap from people outside of Glasgow but after spending 3 years here, I love it and it's definitely my home, I won't be leaving anytime soon!

Glasgow always has something happening so you'll never have a day where you have nothing to do. They always have plenty of places that offer student discounts. Outwith the city centre there's plenty of things to do that are easily accessible by train, subway or bus. There's museums, botanic gardens, breahead shopping centre, soar, and so much more.

Great place for everything you want! It's the place to be if you want a cool night out with the gals or a casual drink with some friends.

Glasgow is an eclectic and diverse city. There is something for everyone on any budget or lifestyle. As a student it's great for cheap eats and amazing nights out. Techno music is insane and the famous club sub club is well worth a visit. In general it is a very laid back and casual city. It has lots of green space too, so plenty space to go on scenic walks. There really is just anything you could want. And above all, the people make Glasgow. Their friendliness and sense d humour will really make your visit.

Glasgow is a brilliant city to go to university. It has everything you would ever need. A large enough city centre with everything a city should have and an amazing night life! And the loveliest west end with cute restaurants and the best brunch cafes!

The student scene in Glasgow is just incredible - especially if you're into music, there's gigs on almost every night of the week! From smaller venues like King Tuts to the iconic Hydro - there is something for literally every music taste. And if you need somewhere to eat before the concert - the food scene is almost as varied! Burgers from Bread Meats Bread, pizza from Paesano - and if you're looking for brunch the next day head to the Left Bank in the West End for some amazing breakfast!
