Really easy access to shopping and eateries, lovely area with cherry blossoms and relatively clean streets. Many clubs and concert venues nearby do nights out, such as the O2 ABC, the garage etc

There’s so much to do in Glasgow and lots of different options for food, night life and any activities!! There’s also a lot of stunning parks and museums, I am never bored here. The local transport comes within every 4-10 minutes which makes getting around Glasgow very easy and convenient.

Glasgow is a big city with a lot of character. If you love a night out, friendly Scots and a historic University you will love it here. Living in the west end is a must for Glasgow University students, which comes with a great vibe. There's lots of places to visit in Glasgow, but also the lochs and munros to wonder around.

Well located. Good nightlife and lots of places to eat. Easy to reach by public transport, only issue is parking can be expensive.

The location of Glasgow university is the only thing that could be improved as it is far from central and Queen Street but it's close to subway stations so it's fine, as far as night life and shopping, you can't beat it.

Easily accessible from either central station, queen street, or the subway. Right in the middle of town with loads of places to go and things to do

Glaagow Caledonian is in the perfect spot for grtting the full experience of Glasgow. Its so eash to finsih a long day of uni and then just wind down by walking 5 minutes to a brillaint pub/restaurant for destressing drinks/food. By going through Glasgow on a weekday as a student it can be such a cheap day or night out and it can all start at the brand new union for caledonian where you can buy starbucks, food, cocktails and even play a bit of pool with your friends before taking a walk up Sauchiehall street to continue.

Glasgow in my opinion is one of the best student cities. Having visited various other cities such as Belfast, Edinburgh, Leeds and more, I believe Glasgow is among the top. Every day of the week has a student night. For example, Kokomo will be the most popular nights on a Monday, Juicy Tuesdays at Kushion on Bath Street, Wednesday Night Bamboo and Jelly Baby on Thursdays at the ABC. Each of these nights will have various drink deals where you can purchase decent alcoholic beverages for £3. However these club prices do increase at the weekend. Moreover, the restaurants all over Glasgow are tremendous. You can get student deals in many places such as Bar Soba (2 for 1) and it’s always worth checking sites like Groupon as you’ll always find midweek deals that I have very much taken advantage of. West Regeant Street is well known for its strip of unique burger restaurants. The shopping in Glasgow City Centre is like most cities, however the choice of shops is improving with the likes of a new Victoria’s Secret getting built and previously a big new H&M was opened. In terms of things to do and entertainment, there is The Stand comedy club where you can see well known comedians for cheaper than they would charge at a big arena show, theatres, The Hydro for gigs or many lovey parks.

10/10 for nights out, firewater and driftwood are very cheap during the weak and are situated in the city centre at the bottom of sauchiehall street. Also highly recommend the 02 Abc, they hold a rock themed night called propaganda every Friday which is always busy. There is a great variety of shops for all budgets, with a new Victoria’s Secret opening up soon in Buchanan galleries. There are loads of things to do such as visiting kelvin grove museum, Glasgow green etc. Great city, great people!

I am at Glasgow Caledonian University. What's great about the locations of this university is that it's next to everything that a student wants or needs. Nightlife, food, shopping and transport are right around the corner within five minutes walk, all whilst getting a good value for your money

Really good for nights out and food, there's a lot of options for every taste. Also lots of shopping and Strathclyde university in the centre.

Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland, and third most populous in the United Kingdom. Historically part of Lanarkshire, the city now forms the Glasgow City council area, one of the 32 council areas of Scotland; the local authority is Glasgow City Council.

The location of GCU is one of the best things about the university. Located simply above Buchanan bus station it is a dream for students who commute from further afield, and smack bang in the centre of town which means it's walkable whether you're living West End to South Side. Should you fancy a bite to eat, GCU is only a two minute walk from Sauchiehall Street whene you can find favourites like Pret and Ask Italian, fast food giants, McDonalds and Taco Bell and the infamous vegan Flying Duck which is tucked up alongside Renfrew Lane. Should you fancy a couple drinks between classes, Walkabout and Malones are easily accessible.

My university is near town so it’s very good for food options. As all the good options are in the city centre it’s good that my university is in walking distance from these. There is kevlingrove meat by which is great as well as that is a nice park. The west end is also very near my university which is a good place for culture and art. The kelvingrove art gallery’s is a perfect place to go to relax and study or get your mind off things. There are loads of nightclubs and pubs in my university’s surrounding area which is great for going after finishing university for the summer.

The university I attend has great transport facilities and is easily accessible by train bus bike and car. I think they should offer a discount for student for car parking as this can be quite expensive and students are always looking to save money wherever they can.

Glasgow is a one of a kind type city. The people there have their own way of doing everything and I love it. Everything is humourous and everyone is happy to speak to you. It's easy to get help finding your way about because people are more than happy to have a chat with you.

Glasgow has some great things to offer and food is the best one. Nightlife is quite good with some very interesting venues. Entertainment is very good and the shopping is great with the multiple shopping centres around.

Glasgow Caledonian University is the best university in Glasgow. It is smack bang in the centre of the city putting you at a minutes walk away for any amenities you may need. The students and staff are all very friendly. There are 3 canteens on campus that have excellent well priced food, and they have thebest student union that plan the best events. As it is located in the city right beside a bus station and a 10 minute walk fron the train station and subway, it is very easy to get to and makes for a great starting point for any night out, especially due to its very well priced Uni Bar.
