    I've sailed the ships of both Strathclyde and Glasgow university, and despite having learned a…read moresubject that has some relevance in the real world at this one, I can still firmly declare it as the second best uni in the city. The atmosphere at Strathclyde is far removed from the traditional / bohemian feel at it's rival, down to a combination of Strathclyde's concentration on engineering and business subjects, and it's tendency to attract a more state-school crowd. Though I found the teaching to be of a very high standard, I did find the atmosphere of the campus itself a little dull, though in fairness that may be to do with the fact i was doing a postgrad here and so less invovled in the after-class scene. The grey buildings and fairly featureless surrounding area are far less inspiring than the grandeur of Glasgow Uni and it's surrounding area, and the tired student union that seems to get less busy each year doesn't help. Ironically enough had I done my undergrad here I would probably have fitted in a bit better than I did with the more eccentric Glasgow Uni crowd, but it was those exact eccentricities that I loved about the place. At Strathclyde you'll never get the pleasue of watching your millionaire roomate stomping up and down on an anti-poverty march whilst being entirely unaware of the irony, nor will you get dusty old lecturers who still wear academic robes. You will however get a high standard of education and good student support in a functional, campus, so still top marks.

    A great University with a good reputation…read more The campus is all over the place, in two different locations in fact. Unless you do teaching though, you're likely to be situated in the John Anderson Campus which provides sufficient challenges to navigate your way around from class to class. Good exercise! It's located near some great hot spots for nightlife, shopping, eateries and everything else worth investigating. They have a good Careers Service and a really good library. A PROPER library, where you can't even sneeze. The buildings are not as eye-catching as those at Glasgow University, and the overall teaching is not, in my humble opinion, as that of Glasgow Caledonian. Strathclyde is so huge, numbers wise that it's easy to get lost in the crowd and fail to make connections with staff. It's a great University nonetheless, overall.
