[quote=Bukowski;16197042]Strathclyde is a really good uni, yeah. It would've been my firm choice had I got rejected by Glasgow uni. It's got a great reputation, but Glasgow's is marginally better. There's a 3rd Uni in Glasgow, the Caledonian, but that's by far lesser than Glasgow and Strathy - those are the big two.

I've got a number of friends studying there this year, and all of them are loving it and have only good things to say about their courses. I visited the campus a few times as well, and it's pretty top notch, and right in the centre of the city - so near everything you'll need (including the best record store ever, btw). And also, I've been to the student union quite a lot with friends, and I can tell you that it is fantastic. Lots going on, and a really nice place. Plus accommodation in Glasgow is relatively cheap compared to most other similarly sized cities in the UK, and if you were staying in student halls then there are plenty of good ones around the city, some owned by the Uni's themselves, others privately owned. Failing that, it's pretty easy to find flatmates to share with.

I would recommend it, it's a great uni and the city has lots of good stuff going on if you're over 18, which I'm fairly certain you are anyway. Great local music scene as well, with loads of nice smaller venues and whatnot.

If you're coming here, let me know! I'd love to do an exchange myself, but my course is havin' none of it.[/quote]

This sounds like exactly what I want, it sounds a lot better than the unis in the US that are offered. A really good music scene is pretty much a requirement, haha, I'm not going to go to Europe or the US and not take advantage of the cheap shows. If accommodation is cheap, that helps a lot too. And yeah, I'm 19 now and I'll be 20 or 21 when I go.

Tell me though, if I go to Glasgow, will people there beat me up for not being Scottish? My friend is convinced that they will.

Bumped past winkle's very important post.

Neoteric 04-07-2008 03:51 AM

haha you won't get beaten up, as long as you stay away from rough spots of the city.

Well that seals the deal then.

Neoteric 04-07-2008 05:24 AM

Glasgow is pretty culturally diverse, so you should be fine.

br3ad_man 04-07-2008 05:35 AM

I think I should have been born in Scotland. I'm super white and I hate hot weather and I burn really easily.

sweboy 04-07-2008 06:34 AM

br3ad_man, what would you do if you saw space ships over glasgow? would you fear them?

br3ad_man 04-07-2008 06:54 AM

this is true. The only time there's ever really trouble in the city centre is when Rangers play Celtic at football. You're best staying indoors that day, but generally there is a good mix of people in the city and everyone is friendly to everyone. Glasgow gets a bad rep, mostly because of the old firm football games, but it's a friendly and safe place. And you will never need to worry about hot weather again :)

Your song "Secret Penis" actually wasn't that bad. It would have been better if the song were about something else, though.

Zmev 04-07-2008 12:26 PM

sorry man i cant listen to your radio show you should record it

Interstate 04-07-2008 12:26 PM
