Glasgow vs Strathclyde (LAW)

Hello! It’s my first time posting on here but I can’t decide! I’m a Scottish student and have received offers to both Glasgow (conditional) and Strathclyde (unconditional) for Scot’s law- both of which are tied as my fist choice. I realise that Glasgow has the better Global reputation and has a beautiful campus, but I have read on here that it can be unwelcoming to first years and can be very clique, whereas Strathclyde has a slightly lesser reputation for law, and a less traditional campus but is apparently better in that sorta social aspect? And more diverse. I’m just looking for advice and experiences from anyone who has heard anything about or been to either university who is willing to help here because I’m so indecisive

i’m just wondering what your grades were. I’m waiting on a reply from Glasgow and also have an unconditional from Strath

I received AAAAB at higher and am predicted AAB at advanced higher! But I also went to a target school and got leaps so that likely had something to do with it! 😌

leaps as in the like one time session, but you can contact them with queries? 😁

It’s like a flag that gets put on your application stating that you went to a target school, are first gen, live in a deprived postcode (below SIMD 2), and/ or other things along those lines. There is a sort of interview for it but it mainly just gets you slightly lower entry requirements from unis!

ahh, okay. I’m a young carer so i think that’s similar as it’s also WP. Did you complete reach ect?

Yeah that comes under leaps so you should have gotten the flag! I’m not entirely sure what reach is, but I’ve heard it’s sorta the same thing as leaps? So maybeeeee?

I firmed Glasgow last night (conditional) and put strathclyde as my insurance (unconditional) and I'm also Scottish. I know people who go to both and both have positives and negatives tbh.
I'd be wary of choosing because of cliques or whatever, you can get that anywhere really. Have you been to any open days? Which course looks like it would suit you better? That's what I based my decision on as even people I know who go there and have opinions may not have the same experience I do iykwim.
