University of Glasgow

The university is situated in the west end of Glasgow, lots of options for bars, cafes, restaurants and interesting things to see and do- it's fair walk from the city centre (about 40mins) but easily accessible by public transport (notably subway or bus). All Glasgow based universities are struggling with student accommodation needs right now, and if you are planning to attend Glasgow, I'd get registered for those avenues as quickly as possible. I myself live just outside Glasgow and am planning to commute should I receive an offer, with towns surrounding Glasgow again easily accessible through public transport as well (personally, I'd say Paisley, Anniesland, all the way through to Clydebank could be worth looking at though I don't really know the east end of the city, and you'll find the rent cheaper than actually in Glasgow. The south side is also quite inviting for students, but again- rent goes up). I've noted some feedback from students saying they struggle commuting and feel a little more isolated from friend groups when needing to commute for socialising, but that all depends on your priorities and what you wish to experience from your time at university.

Thank you so much anonymous friend.
Your perspective is superbly great and it describes the issue well in hands.
If you had any friends from places such as Leeds, Liverpool or Exeter and if they did share any such experiences, then could you please let me know.

Hi friends,
I received an offer from the University of Glasgow for finance related courses.
I am concerned about the cost-of-living aspects in the city.
Is the university located in a city center or is it closely surrounded by villages.
How about accommodation facilities, transportation aspects etc.
