I nearly crashed my car I got for 18th on Xmas Eve.



I was driving along Maryhill Road and I didnt notice there were 2 sets of traffic lights. Both were at red but I drove though one of them and a car came out and just avoided me.

Worse thing was...my mum and Dad were behind me.

wow I never said one was better than the other, I was very carefull to say go wherever you feel you would like. Obviously all the universities in Glasgow are fab in different ways!

Personally I think the GU looks like a converted garage, but hey, I'm sure I'd like it if I was at Glasgow Uni cos would know loads of people there. (I would need to buy some new scarfs though  )

Sure your thinking of the GU?

Its more like a castle...www.guu.co.uk

Maybe your thinking of the QMU which is great for CHEESEY POP on a Friday night

I was at the end of term event at the GU last night called Daft Friday. Its a black tie event from 8pm to 8am with lots of 'big' acts.

Only managed 11 hours, got ripped off when buying a pint of Fun (FIVE QUID ) but that was one of the best nights of my life!

Uni's certainly a massive transition from school.

There is no-one there telling you what to do, where to go or chasing you up if you miss a class. Your on your own and from day 1 you've got to be there, ready to go.

In saying that, I'm having the time of my life right now. The first Semester has been difficult but I've learnt a lot of things which will make be better prepared for next Semester.

One of the best things I've done was register on www.thestudentroom.co.uk and www.newstudent.org. These are websites where you can meet people going to your choosen Uni's and I'm not ashamed to say that I've met my best mate of one of them!

Uni's difficult in the first few weeks. I didn't make any friends on my course until 2 weeks in after a night out - it's important you go to these but I'm lucky that my course - Accounting - has less than 100 people on it and only 50 turn up for lectures so you really know everyone.

If you meet the right people, get the right course and like where your at then you'll have an amazing time. IMO, Uni can't be compared to school - I don't speak to many people from school and I've only been out with one person from school since leaving in May.

Basically, as your filing your UCAS form out, make sure you pick the University(s) that you'd be comfortable at.

Hehe, 'Townhead Tech'.

At the Glasgow Uni Freshers debate, Alex Salmond said 'I'm a professor of Economics at the University of Strathclyde'.  There were numerous crys of 'its a college'.

yeah but at strath we allowed to see our lecturers in an informal setting unlike at glasgow and we can use the informatics building an post grad resources unlike at edinburgh

so just accept our new age thinking rocks and you will feel much better

EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, we are also able to see our lecturers; we just need to chap on their door and we can speak to them

My phone got stolen yesterday in the Round Reading Room.

I put it in my jacket pocket after texting someone, then the next minute it vanished.

After Freshers Week, I've fell in love with Aftershock.

I like the Green one, its like licuroice. The Blue one is by far the worst.

A few weeks ago, me and my mate went to a Party with a full bottle of the red stuff. In 10 minutes, he had downed half the bottle. Had to carry him home later -its lethal!

Aftershock!




I can't stomach Jack Daniels. I always get a sore chest (weird) after drinking it.

Speak to your Advisor.

I spoke to mine and everything has been sorted out. Or try and do some studying on it, I did and it helped.

I got that French Oral e-mail but I've dropped the subject. My Advisor said that Languages are really difficult at Uni but that e-mail takes the piss.

Should we have an HSN Glasgow Uni meet up?! I'll bring along Jamie Lesely, so you'll know someone!

Im loving Student life, but I agree it is so difficult to make friends.

I'm sure it will pick up when we get into classes, but like you Lesely, I was gutted at my Orientation Day on Tuesday when I met 1 person. Basically, no-one would speak and I was considering dropping out!

I think it's good how we have to go and find everything out for ourselves, although I'm concerned about this French class - we have 2 classes on Tuesday and there is a class list in the Language Building for the Speaking one?

I seen you Lindsay on Tuesday at the Subway station.

I was standing on the other side of the barrier in a Greenish jacket/light blue shirt. I was going to say something, but my mate said not too.

I think during the day has been quite crap. Its difficult to meet a lot of people and the events aren't too good.

At night, its amazing. I've been on the razzle since Sunday - last night we were in Jims bar and were talking to so many people. I couldn't continue doing this - I've not ate properly in ages, had a good sleep and my liver must be ready to collapse.
