Hi there, I'm Luna.
I'm a bit like an AI, except instead of making pictures of people with 16 fingers, I can help you find the perfect course and uni.
Would you like some help in your search?
Our collection of real, honest student reviews of unis and courses is the largest in the UK, and helps you make well-informed decisions about your future. Student reviews also form the basis of our annual Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCAs), which highlight great work carried out by institutions for their students.
The University is set in an area of Glasgow that has a magical feeling about it. Knowing you are walking the same paths as some of the most influential characters that have helped shape the world we live in today is an honour and privilege. It is inspiring and can be a motivator to think of the former students who studied at this amazing institution. I am often overcome with imposter syndrome, though I quickly remind myself how hard I worked to obtain a place at the University of Glasgow. The sheer size of the university can be challenging, especially if you only have a short period of time to get from one end of the campus to the other. So for those who may have mobility issues I think having electric buggies for those less able to get around would be helpful to them.
It is an amazing university in terms of the facilities and the teaching staff. The issue comes with their support for students in terms of neurodiversity when a diagnosis is still pending (this has now changed, but I was not supported as a student) and things of the like. The strike, doing university online, etc., and more made studying here harder. Also, I just think they need to centre student satisfaction a lot more than they currently do.
The university campus is in an ideal location with easy access to public transport. There are a number of study areas available including a newly built library in the campus site. Overall staff members tend to be helpful and kind however there are instances where more support would be appreciated. There is a good student community with various societies/clubs available, so it is easy to make friends.
The campus life and offers for students in general at the uni are amazing. There are so many opportunities to develop ones skills, socialize or learn. This is really amazing. However the support for my specific degree is absolutely horrible. We are the first cohort studying the degree at the university and there are just so many issues arising from that fact. Minor ones are us not being in some of the IT systems and not being able to access some services, but that was fixed relatively quickly. We have a course coordinator that is trying her best to fix issues but even though she is great, this still does not cancel out the effects of the unis planing issues. The course is advertiyed as being highly practical, however we have not really gotten around to any practical application. There are timetable clashes between courses leading to people not being able to take all the courses they would like to take. The lectures offered are in no way adjusted to our degree leading to us sitting in lectures, that we lack background knowledge in and subsequently getting really bad grades. It´s just such a mess. I wish I could say better things about my course but at this point in time, I really can´t.
Lovely location, good facilities that have been expanded and refurbished. The architecture of the older buildings are very beautiful. However, it can be very busy on campus during the week with such a large student population. There is often not enough space for studying.
The university environment is supportive and access to help is readily available. A lot of facilities and resources are available for the students' well-being and academic support. In addition, students' activities are available yearlong. Information about the resources and facilities available is a little hard to find. I believe the website interface needs to be improved to make it easier to access information and basic information such as grading criteria and where the grades would be made available and relevant links should be available on the website since it becomes hard to find these details.
The most cool thing is every teacher will try their best to support students. The worst thing is that the course is too short.
Nice student community, individual teaching staff very friendly. However, the admin is disgraceful, disorganised and prone to last minute changes. The department has no regrad to how students feel or are impacted by their decisions; and they make no effort to communicate in a timely way.
The social life and general friendliness and feel of the uni is fantastic. There is a brilliant range of subjects and support for academics however it could be improved with more study space
The campus is super pretty which I love though some of the amenities are a little aged, particularly the 1970s buildings which most don’t seem to have been touched since they were built. over than that it is great

There are a lot of good and positive things to share about.
It's a very central location in southampton, close to the train station and the city centre. Very well internationally connected, with partnerships at universities all over the wor...
