Glasgow is a busy, active city; somewhere is always open. Public transport is good but you can walk most places if need be - the city is beautiful. One moment you’re in city centre, the next it’s scenic mountains.

Glasgow is an amazing, multicultural city. With lovely people always ready to help, the saying “People make Glasgow” is very apt. With wonderful parks and many many shops, Glasgow is a city you can spend a whole day in and still have things left to do.

Being right in the centre of the city the university of strathclyde is great for students as they will have almost everything they need in a walking distance. No need for expensive taxis home after a night out. Restaurants and shopping just five minutes all with a range of different offers to be had.

Glasgow is such an amazing city to attend university in. Glasgow has everything you need - tons of places for a night out, hundreds of clothes shops to buy yourself a new outfit for your night out, Buchanan Street and Sauchiehall street at packed with fab little stores! And if the great bus system isn’t enough, the subway makes things even easier! So if you have an hour or two between lectures, you’ll always find something to do! The west end and the city centre both provide some great little restaurants and shops, I’ve never run out of new places to try or things to do. I love it in Glasgow, best city going

Great night life whether it is student bars and night clubs (cheap drink and pop music), live music from folk to rock, from brand new bands to stadium headliners or the best DJs that the UK has to offer, Glasgow has so much to offer. The West End is filled with interesting and exciting bars, for instance the Ashton Lane. Particular shout out to Jinty McGuintey's which offers good value for money and live music ever night in warm, friendly Irish pub environment.

Great city! Big shopping centre where you can find everything you need, lots of student-friendly places to eat and, of course, brilliant nights out

There's plenty of stuff to do from museums to clubs to parks. There are also some big shopping streets containing pretty much all you could need. East end has the big shopping streets and Merchant city whilst West end is the trendier more beautiful side with vintage shops and nice cafes.

Easy to get around the city either walking or using public transport. Nights out are great with a large variety of clubs available, great food all over the place and every price.

The whole city is full of snakes . Two faces bitches. Who aren't loyal. They will bite you in the arse every chance they get.

If you're looking for a place with diversity and excitement there's no better place than Glasgow. It has so much to offer and I feel like every day I'm finding new places and things to do. It's great if you like to go for a quirkier scene too. It's pretty cheap considering its a big city and there's a real mix of students and locals. Even though its big it never feels excessive and getting a taxi back is never too pricey. Public transport isn't amazing but the subway's pretty good and most of the time you can walk. Nights out are great and varied. In every category there's something for everyone.

Great shopping, fantastic and affordable food joints, lots of bars ranging from high class to affordable student-oriented places.

The city offers a variety of nightclubs so everyone should be able to find something for theor taste. A big plus is that one can find something to do any day of the week - not only on Fridays and Saturdays.

Glasgow is a great location for students. The whole city has great transport links with two large train stations and the underground service which makes transport across the city very easy. Shopping is really easy, with good variety of shops.

Glasgow, compared to many other cities of similar size, is remarkably cheap to live in. With a wide range of affordable supermarkets (aldi, Lidl, etc) within the city centre, food shopping is easy and affordable. Rent can also be very good value for money with rooms in flats very close to the city centre at sometimes less than £300 a month. The further east/ South you go, the cheaper it will become. However, Glasgow is split into two city centres. The main centre-left with George square, and the West end. The West end is a considerably nicer place to live, especially as a student as it's very young and popular, with heaps to do. However, simply living west of Charing cross means any accommodation price sky rockets, and the quality of flat seems to decrease- (high ceilings with little insulation makes heating a nightmare. Also watch out for uneven floorboards that can cause huge issues with furniture positioning- think wardrobe falling and squashing you flat) . So think carefully about what matters to you before you choose where to live. Remember that Glasgow is extremely wet and can get very cold so bare this in mind too- currently writing this during the 'beast from the east storm' when all university facilities have been closed for 3 days now due to bad weather.

I am not on main campus so have to allow that as a factor however personally I think the location of my campus is crap. It’s not utterly horrendous as it is quite easily located by car however before I could drive it was at least 1 mile walk uphill from the train ststion with no bus and the nearest shops and amenities are at the train station ( which is too far to walk during our hour lunch ). Also most of the student accommodations are no where near the campus with people having to get a 30 min bus or bike miles and the only accommodation near is the most expensive which few people I know can afford.

Glasgow is a great city for students. Shopping on Buchanan street in the city centre is ideal - loads of high street shops. Night life is great with loads of cheap clubs and bars in town and in the west end. The subway system will get you to any part of town in minutes. Glasgow really has it all.

I love the city of Glasgow. It has it’s own personality and it’s a great place to familiarise yourself with Scottish culture. Within the city centre, there are a variety of restaurants providing a host of cuisine from countries all over the world, and there is a selection of stores to explore. I love Glasgow!

Great for everything. Pubs, clubs, sports and food! Never a dull moment, which is both good and bad. People are friendlier than any other city.

Glasgow is a great city for students. The shopping is brilliant and the location of all three universities is amazing. The nightlife is the best in Scotland I would say as it is super cheap and everyone is really friendly.

Glasgow is a great city in itself, the nightlife is tremendous with pubs or clubs on the majority of streets. There are shops for everything, fashion, games, memorabilia, bongs, anything a poor student loves. Transport is great, there’s taxis everywhere, buses galore and if the weathers nice then walk or cycle. There’s lots to do on free time when procrastinating from uni work like going to museums, or gallery’s. Glasgow is the heart of central Scotland so there is always the ability to travel beyond the borders of Glasgow and explore other parts of the country.
