Type of housing: On campus

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: On campus

Why? I would like to live in between students to get a feeling of university life.

Personal comments:
Before coming here i thought my room in the university accommodation is big(as seen in the photograph of university brochure).But the rooms here are so small i feel like living in a prison.At the same time i feel my university is charging us more than other universities with the same facilities.But the good thing here is we have a phone in every bedroom and is free to use in the campus network as well as a high sped internet connection which is also free to use from my bedroom.

Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community

Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment

Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment

Personal comments:
It is a long time I was in Glasgow, unfortunately I do not remeber the names of the best night spots. Anyway it was very easy to find them, just asking to the students were studying there for a long time. I suggest the area around Buchannan Street, going in the direction to the Glasgow University.

Course recommendations:
If you do a Postgraduate course then you pretty much have no choice what courses to take. The quality of teaching is a bit dissapointing as its really theoretical and not at all practial. Teachers dont have the same marking standards and thus your grades tend to fluctuate. Teachers dont seem to be very eager to help, but this depends on the teacher and department I guess..

Personal comments:
As I said before, teachers have different marking standards and thus I didnt really like it.. Exams were packed into one week giving you little time to revise and prepare.

Family
Partial University Scholarship

Work opportunities:
I worked during my study abroad experience

Personal spending habits:
I spend more on telephone as i need to talk home very often as this is the first time i am coming out from home.Accommodation is any way very expensive and i should not compare it to my home country India prices.I also spend much on travelling as i always like travelling and in addition i found this Scottish countryside amazing.

Travel, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home.

Food, Overall: was the same price as at home.

Nightlife: was less expensive than at home.

I wish I had known...
I wish I was warned of the racist behaviour of those professors in there.

In my opinion:
Stay home.
