Strathy is definitely known for it's business degree, in Scotland at least, but UoG probably has a bigger reputation internationally.
For all UoG is technically West End rather than city centre, Glasgow's West End definitely has its own bohemian uni student vibe, and the West End is so close to the city centre anyway that in practical terms (30 minute walk or 5 minutes on the subway) I feel it's difficult to give Strath a real advantage there - especially seeing as Strath is relatively far east in city centre terms anyway (I suppose you could argue Merchant City plays a similar role for Strathclyde as the West End does for Glasgow).
I'm a UofG alumnus personally, so perhaps as with sailorjack94 biased. But when I started uni, I chose the city before the uni itself, and had to choose myself between Glasgow and Strathclyde. Ultimately what decided it for me was the green space. Strath is a very city centre uni in that it's campus is a couple of 'blocks' in the concrete jungle, surrounded on all sides by busy roads and tall buildings. Glasgow Uni on the other hand literally borders one of the best parks in the city and the West End as a whole is distinctly lower density than the area around Strath |
