Student Residence

Around 600/month

Right next to the uni and 10min (not even) from the city centre and 5min from the main bus station

Via the uni

Yes ! You’ll have flatmates so you need to be okay with sharing kitchen, bathroom and shower but you’ll have your own bedroom and sink. Also I think it is crucial to encounter people. I know some who prefered having their own apartment etc but they struggled to meet other internationnal students. Also it is next to everything in the city so really usefull. i really liked the experience and created cool friendships !

Loads of clubs and pubs open everyday (more in the end of the week but still) My tops are Club - The Buff, Manuka Bars / pubs - Felson (chill, pool etc), Malone’s

You have plenty of classes to choose between. I would recommend having a funnier one (betwsen marketing theories I had sport and media)

Amazing campus with big library where to work etc. Registration super easy. The uni sends a lot of emails so you’re not on your own. Also there is an assignement help department to help you in preparing exams or essays etc. Would recommend going

Isle of skye, Harry Potter train, Edinburgh (1h15-30 from glasgow, max 10pounds by bus). Would recommend taking the train and explore cities even if it is less famous. Went on tours with some companies cause without a car (under 25 it is expensive) it is complicated.

You’ll walk a lot but it is a nice city and think about going out with something for the rain, in 5min it can go from sunny to rainy ahah

In the GCU residence for student, there’s a social space (working, pool, ping pong, cinema room) very cool to change from working in the library, bedroom, kitchen or coffee shop. And really cool to spend time with friends without having to go out

Yes, it was a pleasant experience. The student residence is located next to the campus and there are many activities offered to meet other students. The classes were interesting and the teachers are friendly. Paisley is a beautiful, quiet town close to Glasgow. I recommend it !

There are a few bars and nightclubs in Paisley, but the town is rather quiet in the evenings. It is recommended to go out in Glasgow, which is livelier and easily accessible by public transport.

There are a lot of courses and possibilities. I really enjoyed Marketing and leadership courses.

The Paisley campus is great: it's big but easy to get to and it's easy to find your way around. There are lots of people and students available to help you. There's a large library, a cafeteria, and a gym available. It's a very nice campus. There are lots of different communities, which is great for meeting people from different cultures.

Paisley has a good range of transport options (train, bus, plane), and the town is a 10-minute train ride from Glasgow. However, traveling in Scotland is relatively expensive. Major cities are well-connected, but if you want to travel within the country, it's recommended to have a car (given that renting a car in Scotland is complicated and expensive). Therefore, you'll need to plan ahead to book trains and budget for your travels.

Paisley is a very quiet and relatively safe town. Glasgow, like all big cities, is dynamic and lively. Some places are to be avoided, but the majority of people are friendly. The Scots are a little cold at first, but remain very welcoming.

I recommend purchasing a train pass, which will save you a lot of money on travel, or renting a car if possible. It's important to book your trips well in advance to avoid excessively high prices. I recommend traveling to the north of Scotland, hiking, and visiting castles. Finally, I recommend seeing Edinburgh over several days because it's a very rich city with many things to see and museums to visit.

Classic Apartment

In the merchant City of Glasgow close to any shops and bars you need

don't remember how he found it

nice because I was with an other French who was clean in his way of living. The appartient was indeed clean.

The Wetherspoons are crazy, the Irish Pubs too. You have to start very early your nights cause everyone is in his bed at 2 or 3 am so I am able to recommend only bars

None

The campus is not very cool, I didn't find any formations about the come to school but the teachers are OK. Not at all

good to discover the British islands, amazing to go Hiking and discover the highlands and lowlands but except that its not easy to take the planed go see the sun in southern Europe

The weather was terrible for me but he people have the sun in their hearts, as the saying tells us "People make Glasgow". So everyone is nice plus if you are French you will be loved by everyone so don't hesitate to meet someScottish lads and they will propose you rapidly some activities with them !

The electricity has to be paid by cards you buy at the post Office, so it's not like in France when you pay at the end of the month what you consumed. Except that go discover the lakes, campaign and Higlands of Scotland, go there, sleep there and be close to the nature which is incredible there :).
