The career services at Strath Union are very helpful. I was thinking of doing a part-time job related to my marketing degree. I went there and they helped me get something related to marketing. When you graduate and get a job, it will be helpful because you will have gained experience.

I like how friendly people are and the places you can go with your friends, the restaurants, and the food here. I like it more than, for example, London and stuff. It's close to places like Edinburgh, Stirling, and these places, and people are friendly here, so I like it.
