Hello everyone! I am considering applying to the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow as an international student and would love to hear from those who have already experienced it. I’m particularly interested in learning about the student life and cultural environment at the conservatoire. How welcoming is the community for international students? Are there any clubs or societies specifically for international students or where I can meet people from different cultures? Additionally, what is the general social atmosphere like both on and off-campus?
Moreover, I am curious about accommodation options. Does the conservatoire offer any on-campus housing, or are there nearby student accommodations that you would recommend? What is the process like for securing a place to stay, and how early should I start looking? Lastly, I would appreciate insights into balancing studies with part-time work. Are there opportunities for part-time jobs in Glasgow that fit well with a student’s schedule? Do international students face any particular challenges in finding employment?
Any reviews or personal experiences regarding the quality of courses and faculty would also be incredibly helpful. I am eager to make an informed decision, so any advice or tips from current or former international students would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!
