Enriching academic experience with some practical challenges.
Tips: Joining the University of Glasgow requires adjusting to independent study and a higher cost of living. While the cultural shift was mainly academic, the diverse and supportive environment has been very helpful. I am very satisfied with my course, university, and life here.
Likes (Indian Food): Glasgow offers a variety of Indian restaurants at affordable to mid-range prices. The area also boasts diverse Asian, Middle Eastern, and European cuisine options. While I enjoy trying different places, I mostly prefer cooking for myself since I live off-campus.
Dislikes (Internships): I was unable to secure an internship. While the guidance through career services and online portals is good, opportunities exist but are competitive and not always aligned with Health Services Management, making it challenging.

Part-time jobs in the city centre can be challenging to find.
Tips: Find out how to apply for scholarships and look for affordable accommodation near the city centre, as getting part-time work is relatively easy here. For budget living, check out the Olio app and the student eco hub, where you can find free items. There isn't a major cultural shock, and it's a safe city, especially for women.
Likes (Indian Food): I cook at home often, but Glasgow has a good selection of Indian restaurants, including Bantawala, Rishi Aroma, and Madras Dosa. There are also great Indian grocery stores like House of Sheer, Suresh N Sons, KRK, and Ganpathy Store. Additionally, there's langar available at the Gurudwara every day.
Dislikes (Part time work): Initially, the on-campus part-time jobs are quickly filled, so you need to look for the right opportunities. Part-time jobs in the city centre can be challenging, but keep trying. Ensure you prioritise your studies over part-time work and avoid damaging any lawns.

Good university experience with supportive environment.
Tips: Adjusting here takes some time due to the cultural shift and independent study style, but it's manageable. Scholarships are available if you apply early, and overall, I'm happy with my course and university experience. There's a lot of walking on campus.
Likes (Indian Food): There are several restaurants offering food from my home country, and Indian cuisine is very popular and readily available in Glasgow. Many Indian restaurants are located near campus, and they provide good quality food.
Dislikes (Part time work): There is very little guidance or support for internships. Most opportunities are not aligned with my field of study, leaving students to manage everything on their own. It's very difficult to get a good part-time job for students here.

Don't romanticize the struggles but prepare for a stressful but rewarding experience.
Tips: The university is very liberal, so sometimes viewing things from another perspective can be seen in a negative way. There was a sentence from my tutor, at the very first meeting of the year, that summarises the entire course: 'You get what you put into it'. If you work hard and put your effort into getting as much as possible out of the course, it will be a great experience. The subways and buses get you anywhere. All public transportation is easy to use and get familiar with. There is also the option to get a complete transportation pass, which you can travel on most public transportation with for free, if you're under 25.
Dislikes (Internships): There is not much guidance regarding internships. They are only mentioned occasionally, and the career service does not do a great job. It's not a target school for all subjects, so that might depend on your course. The study trip to Brussels is a good opportunity to network, but it might not be relevant for non-European students.

Tips: Be prepared for an academic and cultural shift, but it will be a really smooth experience. Be sure to apply early, preferably in February, to snag one of their international student scholarships. Each is worth 10,000 British pounds, and they can be a big help.

University of Glasgow, the well oriented and fun loving academic institution.
Tips: There was no significant cultural shock. The people in Glasgow are very friendly and do not discriminate. The weather might be an initial challenge, but learning to cook can help. I didn't receive any scholarships. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Student Life): My day at college typically involves lectures, library visits, and exploring the beautiful campus. I appreciate the low-stress environment, the helpful staff, and the numerous student support platforms, along with the campus's overall beauty. The college organises many events, such as Holi parties, Garba nights, Halloween events, summer barbecues, and industrial visits, and I participate in around 1-5 of them. There are also various communities for different religions and nationalities, such as Indian student clubs, student welfare groups, and mental well-being initiatives.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking for myself. Local restaurants mostly serve non-vegetarian food, and as a vegetarian, I've noticed many use beef oil. Additionally, Indian restaurants here don't taste authentic; the food is often overly sweet, and the prices are high compared to the quality and quantity.
