Glasgow

Amazing for vegan options, loads of really interesting independent vegan cafes. The west end has great shops and bars. There's plenty of free places to go out at night such as bars with dance floors. The transport is good but a bit expensive especially for students but it's usually punctual. Everyone is very friendly. Everywhere is easy to get to by transport and many places are walking distance from the city centre which is filled with high street shops and places to eat.

I'm a spanish student that decided to come to Glasgow to do my degree, I really cannot complain. It's a really friendly city, to both students and foreigners, other than the weather I really can't complain!

The city centre of Glasgow is absolutely amazing. The building opposite George Square is stunning due to its architecture. Transport: train -> good , busses-> good, subway->ok, taxi-> good, main problem for all of them-> not affordable for all categories of people (i.e. busses do not have better prices for students). Nights Out: Pros : many places to visit, good food and variety of drinks Cons: close time (close early), offer drinks to drunk people!!!!!!, many drunk people everywhere Shopping: AMAZING (VARIETY, AFFORDABLE) Eating: many good and many bad places to visit Entertainment: many concerts, events -> Excellent but not that good promotion , not that affordable prices

I love Glasgow. It's an amazing city for students, with super cheap alcohol and lots of clubs and bars to keep you busy! There's also a ridiculous variety of restaurants and cafes - whatever you want, I can guarantee Glasgow has. I'm vegan and I haven't even been able to make it to all the vegan restaurants/cafes yet! The only drawback to Glasgow is its transport, trains are always late! If you live in and around the city you won't need to use them though. Why not come visit us? After all, People Make Glasgow :)

I love shopping in Glasgow as there is loads of different shops whether ur on a budget or wanting to spend a lot, there is also lots of restaurants that I enjoy eating at, the nightclubs are also a plus.

This city is amazing so many shopping centres , entertainment venues , and overall amazing things to do for free or for a small price.

Glasgow is an amazing city filled with friendly people and fun things to do! There are many museums and sites to see, the transport museum and Kelvingrove art gallery and museum are a couple great ones. Nights out are great in Glasgow because there's so much variety, you won't be able to pick one place! Shopping is absolutely fantastic, with the style mile you are guaranteed to find what you're looking for. Last but certainly not least is FOOD! There is so much available I don't know where to start! From pancakes and Prosecco to the best burgers in the world to a cheeky Nando's, Vapiano's or just pizza, Glasgow has it all!

just a fab city all in, top notch people n top notch banter. Should be the capital! Sauchiehall street for nights out is amazing! As well as merchant square and merchant city. Buchanan street , argyle, Buchanan galleries and st Enoch centre are amongst many fab places to shop. Food , there are countless options of everyone's favourites everywhere, wont be hard to find!

Great city with great people. Always someone nearby to give you a shout if you are lost or looking for advice for wheres best to go for a night or day out. There's a huge diversity of cultures and interesting restaurants to explore and quirky boutique shops. Also one of the most dog friendly cities in Scotland which is always a plus!

Glasgow is a great city. I came here two and a half years ago to study in the University of Glasgow and I am absolutely in love with this city! I love the fact that the buildings are built in a more vintage style, the city centre with all the shops is wonderful and that leads to a more enjoyable shopping experience, and the most important thing is that the roads are always filled with so many happy and kind people and this is absolutely brilliant! Glasgow's logo is "People make Glasgow" and I can assure you that, this is so true! Glasgow is a city that is definitely worth visiting!

Glasgow is back. Once the second city of the British Empire, when its shipping, industry and commerce circled the globe, it has reinvented itself as a cultural powerhouse of music, creative arts, theatre, design and innovative cuisine. The transformation from a period of economic decline has been dramatic. It began in earnest in the 1980s, and by the end of the decade it had been proclaimed European City of Culture, followed by City of Architecture and Design, and Unesco City of Music ... the first British city to win this accolade. The rusting shipyards faded into history, and in their place rose the striking futuristic architecture of award-winning museums and performance venues. It remains one of the most eclectic architectural cities in Europe, with a wealth of extravagant Victorian buildings in red and blond sandstone with artistic flourishes. Look out for Italianate palazzo frontages, Art Nouveau masterpieces reminiscent of Gaudi, classical Greek and Roman motifs, and the lavish Spanish Renaissance style of its Kelvingrove Art Gallery. Glasgow is a sociable city that has always known how to party. In the 1920s it had 81 ballrooms and dance halls, more than anywhere else in Britain, and thousands were still dancing to big bands in the famed Barrowland as German bombers roared overhead in the 1940s. The music scene today is more diverse and dynamic, with scores of pubs and clubs rocking to indie bands, cool jazz, fiery folk and Latin rhythms, and concert halls showcasing the classics. An average of more than 100 music events take place each week, with international headline acts staged in the city's stunning new SSE Hydro arena. Scotland's national orchestra, opera and ballet companies have all based themselves in Glasgow, and this year's Turner Prize is being staged in the Tramway, a contemporary visual and performing arts centre in a former tram car depot. The city's original Gaelic name, Glaschu, means 'Green Place' and it boasts one of the greatest arrays of public parks and woodland in Europe

Glasgow is a brilliant student city, from its city centre full of high street brands, to the west end where there is rich culture that continues to thrive and give character. Studying as a theatre student it is hugely beneficial to have new shows from Scottish national theatre, the citizens theatre, the Tron and many others, being developed, especially as Scottish theatre continues to be on the rise. It is less that a 45 minute train journey to Edinburgh, with a day return costing less than a travel card to London, so me and my friends have visited many times. Likewise with journeys to Loch Lomand and other great places in Scotland.

The atmosphere is the best thing about Glasgow it is genuinely amazing and just so different from other cities ,The people definitely make Glasgow there is no place like it

It's a beautiful city for holidays during summer. Winter season is not highly recommended as it can get very cold in Glasgow. Christmas time is a good time to visit during winters as the whole city is decorated with lights and the Christmas spirit is the best!!!!

Glasgow is one of the best cities for students. Cheap food and alcohol (depending on where you go) great clubs often with free entry for students.

Glasgow's so lively theres always something to do, there's great shops! Always somewhere to eat and if you're skint there is lots of cheap places to eat that are amazing! Also cheap nights out during the week!

A fun place, not too expensive, friendly, good for nights out etc. Nice parks and a compact city centre. All around a good place to be a student.

Honestly such a great place. So many shops, restaurants, cinemas, museums etc you could get lost if it wasn't for the friendliness of the people. Going to Glasgow just guarantees a great day/night out. Don't get me wrong, it has its faults. The rate of crime isn't so great and there's certain areas to stay away from at night, or at least be wary of, and I wouldn't leave my stuff unattended either. But overall the atmosphere is brilliant and always makes me personally feel proud to be Scottish.

The nightlife in Glasgow is incredible, with so many different options in such a central, compact and safe area. There are plenty of shops, places to eat, and entertainment venues all within walking distance or short transport rides away on a well-organised system.

Great access by bus, train and subway for non car owners. Services run right into the city centre so you dont have to walk far. Night life is great and cheap with no hassle. Many options for food and drink wether expensive or cheap. People are also nice and friendly.

Glasgow is amazing from the beautiful shops to the delicious restaurants it is a must see for many people and 10 out of 10

The food is always amazing especially with me having ceoliac disease, I struggling to find some places to accommodate me with my condition but Glasgow is always good

My university is great. Smack bang in the centre of pretty much everything any student needs. Lots of cheap places around from local shops, clothing stores, pubs/clubs, cinema etc all offer student discounts. Various ways in which you can travel including walk,train,bus,cycle

So many cheap things to do, and the friendliest people! I would definitely recommend it to a friend just based on the city itself, but it’s also an amazing university.
