Throughout my four years at Glasgow I have to say I loved 99.9% of it – as the University has four student unions and hundreds of social and sports clubs, it’s super easy to get involved in clubs, societies or volunteering work that suits you! I made a ton of friends right off the bat in Queen Margaret Residences, but there were opportunities to expand your horizons and get involved with other clubs for as long as you’re at the uni – and even beyond! Lecturers were super friendly and approachable on the whole and would respond to queries really quickly (at least on the Zoology course). Lots of opportunities for both intra- and extra-curricular trips, I even found myself doing my dissertation research in the Caribbean for 9 weeks through the Exploration Society! The one downer for me was Glasgow’s reaction to the UCU marking boycott – we’ve still not received our final degree results even though we graduated in June as Glasgow won’t negotiate with the union 🙁 However, right up until then I had no complaints!

The University of Glasgow always gave very good reviews in terms of each student’s pros and cons. I believe that it has helped me get a good understanding of how the marking scheme is different from my home country. The way of learning and testing in UoFG has also tested my understanding and not my ability to memorize which is a huge change.

With really supportive professors and extremely relevant course work, it definitely will play a huge role in shaping me for my upcoming career goals. The best part is a progressive outlook that considers students’ personal growth as one of the top priorities apart from high educational standards and skill development!
