- University was really good. It was in the Top 100 universities in the world.,
- Quality of education was good. The courses were very practical where we had to brainstorm the solution. The exams were very practical oriented and didn't ask any theoretical questions. The staff was very supportive of all the things.
- Dislikes:
- "I enrolled during the Covid time which didn't give me full exposure to the university facilities. There is no placement system, so I had to search for jobs own my own. There is a lot of competition in job, so it takes a lot of time to find the right job."
Campus Life:
Everything was very good and the university has resources in abundance. I was in during the covid time so didn't get to explore the activities but later, I enrolled to gym and swimming etc. which was really good.
Hostel:
The accommodation was really nice. There were 5 separate rooms for 5 people in my flat. We have shared kitchen and bathroom which can be a issue sometimes but if the roommates as good, it will be fine. The wifi, electricity, gas and water was free. Wifi had great speed, so anyone will have no complaints with it. My accommodation was a University accommodation which was very close to university (15 minutes walk), so I could also come back late at night from the library and it won't be an issue.
- Likes:
- This was providing a new course different from other universities in the field of biomedical visualization.,
- Students can learn at their own pace. Deadlines for online assignments are provided. Diversity and inclusion is followed properly. Some sort of scholarships and financial aids are available for international students but not for all courses.
- Dislikes:
- There is nothing to dislike except that fee structure unaffordable to Indian students.
Campus Life:
Campus is well equipped with research facilities, libraries, WiFi, sports facilities.
It was good to interact with people from diverse backgrounds and working together for better future.
- Likes:

- I had the honour of getting my MSc in Computing Science at the University of Glasgow, and I am very grateful for many things about the school that made my academic journey truly remarkable.,
- High Standards in Education: The University of Glasgow is known for its high standards in education. This was also true for the computer science programme.

The challenging curriculum, wide range of research options, and cutting-edge tools all made my learning better.,
- Multicultural Diversity: The University of Glasgow is proud of its diverse and welcoming population. Talking to students and teachers from around the world helped me see things from a different point of view and learn more about other cultures. My friends' different backgrounds and ideas helped me learn new things and gave me a global view on technology and computers.,
- Historical Significance: The university has a long past that goes back to 1451. This gives the campus a unique feel. The stunning architecture, such as the iconic Gilbert Scott Building, and the sense of custom and heritage provided an inspiring backdrop for my studies. The place is where the past and the future meet, and I found it to be a great place to study.,
- Opportunities for Research: The University of Glasgow is a centre for cutting edge research, and I had the chance to work on a number of research projects during my programme.

- Dislikes:
- There were some things I didn't like about my time at the University of Glasgow, but overall it was a good experience.,
- Weather: One problem that is often brought up is the weather. Glasgow is known for having grey weather and a lot of rain, which can make outdoor activities less fun. But this is more of a problem with the weather than with the university itself.,
- Class Size: In some common classes, there can be a lot of people in the class. In many colleges, this happens all the time, but it can make it hard to find a seat in class and talk to professors one-on-one. It's possible that smaller class sizes would make learning better.,
- Administrative Processes: The University of Glasgow has a lot of administrative complications, just like many other colleges and universities. Sometimes, the steps for enrolling, registering, or getting a visa can be long and hard to understand. Streamlining the way administration works could make things better for all students.,
- Cost of Living: Living in Glasgow can be pretty pricey, even though it's a lively and exciting city. This can be hard, especially for foreign students, and you may need to carefully plan your budget and finances.,

- I chose the university because it is ranked higher in the UK for economics as well as the scholarship.,
- Firstly, the university campus itself is very large and has many facilities for students of all courses. There are many learning spaces and study areas as well. The university also encourages their students to take part in societies and clubs so that students can engage in extra-curricular actives. The university also has a diverse student body and hosts many cultural activities which is really important to me as an international student.
- Dislikes:
- This may not be directed to the university itself but the cost of living is very high at the moment which is an additional concern to the university tuition fee. Otherwise, I don't have any complaint or dislikes about the university itself.
Campus Life:
1) Large library of 8 floors with study spaces and rooms for group studies. The library also has a cafeteria and vending machine. 2) Learning Spaces such as the Fraser Building and JMS Learning Hub for students. 3) Large Gym with Olympics Pool and Sauna as well.

Hostel:
i live in private Accommodation facility
Hostel:
There are many options, both student accomodation and private. Student accomodation is definitely a little bit more expensive but would be all inclusive. In the UK, almost always you will have a room to yourself (no room sharing), just sharing of a flat with others (common kitchen, living room and maybe bathrooms)
University of glasgow is a very well renowned institution especially in the field of biological sciences and I also wanted to experience life in the UK
