I enjoyed my experience in GCU. The Campus was located at the heart of the town with easy access to the city center and bus/ train routes. The various lecture halls were well defined with tags and descriptive signages to enable one locate them with ease. The lectures were well defined with adequate information and robust course content that is applicable in the current industry. The professors were readily available to provide clarifications to students when necessary. Campus life was fun and enjoyable. there were various activities that students could engage in, in the students association building, we also had a gym and sports complex.

Glasgow Caledonian University is a fully inclusive university with very welcoming staff and students. There is a lot of mental and emotional support made available to the students. I think the university is a great fit for any students looking for a welcoming environment.
One major thing I dislike about the university is the amount of pressure on students with regards to courseworks.
I would definitely recommend the university.
