Student review [#15787] for Film and Television Studies and History
at The University of Glasgow - UOFG

I mean, just look up the Main building of the University and you will get why I was so drawn to it. Located at the heart of Glasgow – a youthful and ever-evolving city – the University of Glasgow was the main reason why I grew up mentally in the past four years. It was not just the education that made me the person who I am today. This institution is filled with activities to find yourself involved in, societies and clubs led entirely by students where you will find like-minded people or people who are different from you but who can teach you about their interests. Life on campus is busy, exciting, never-ending because even in the small hours of the morning you can see people going for a late-night walk. The library is home for all of us and it is, if I am not mistaken, one of the biggest, if not THE biggest, library in Europe. In other words, the campus is HUGE but don’t let that scare you. When I first came here, I was a shy Bulgarian girl who knew English pretty well but who was scared to say a word. It was the other students who made me feel at home and who took me by the hand into this vast experience that brought out the best in me. Looking back one day, you will realize that you have probably had the greatest ups and downs of your life for the humble 22-23-24-25 ? that you will have lived so far, but trust me – you will come out stronger and more confident than ever. I know it sounds like an ad for any university experience, no matter where, but Glasgow Uni is, indeed, exceptional because it is so lively that there is no way you can leave and feel like you have missed out on something. The reason why I took away one star is because it could improve on the number of counsellors and accessibility to the mental help services. Otherwise, it is a golden place where you will find golden people.
