    are you going to the applicants day?
    i need to apply for accommodation soon but i don't really know what they're like
    can someone help?
    thanks

    Shuffles | 5 Mar '09, 17:31 | X
    • Probably not

      It's a very long way to go just for a day.
      What course have you applied for?

      Tillance @Shuffles | 5 Mar '09, 17:39 | X
      • psychology in both the arts and sciences faculties

        but i think i may abuse that flexible subject scheme and end up doing something completely different
        how about you?

        Shuffles @Tillance | 5 Mar '09, 17:51 | X
        • I applied to to archaeology BSc

          But because i don't have any science experience they've offered me a place on the MA. which was jolly nice of them.

              Tillance @Alex-in-Ciderland | 5 Mar '09, 19:31 | X
              • Okay, so BA then rather than MA?

                That's what I couldn't understand!

                Alex-in-Ciderland @Tillance | 5 Mar '09, 21:08 | X
                • Scottish Universities do MAs instead of BAs

                    i think it's only Glasgow Uni that do it.

                      I do an MA - I'm at Edinburgerz

                        fine - it's only 'proper' unis that do it :'(

                • It's an MA rather than a BSc, which is what i applied for

                  I didn't apply for the MA because i didn't think i was good enough.

    • accomodation's good

      Queen Margaret halls are really nice and in quite a nice part near the uni, most expensive though.
      Murano Street Student Village is the main place though and fine, like 1200 students live here, including me.
      Stay away from the catered halls though, they're fucking miles from the university and horrible.

      penguinzz @Shuffles | 5 Mar '09, 18:07 | X
      • thanks

        i wrote off catered halls at the start so i suppose it's between Murano and QM
        is it safe to wait until early april to apply?
        i'll probably just have a look at them on applicants day, although i'm not really sure what difference it will make.

        Shuffles @penguinzz | 5 Mar '09, 23:38 | X
        • yeah

          i had a conditional offer and so didn't get my accomodation confirmed until august when exam results came out.. got my first choice of halls fine.

          penguinzz @Shuffles | 6 Mar '09, 03:15 | X
    • i'd go for murano street

      it's not exactly a life of luxury (our hot water has broken about four times now) but it's massive so a large proportion of people you meet in first year will probably be living here, and it's exceedingly convenient to live within a three-minute walk of almost everyone you know

      tiramisu @Shuffles | 5 Mar '09, 18:35 | X
      • i think i'll probably end up choosing murano

        it does look like a fair distance away from the uni though
        thanks

        Shuffles @tiramisu | 5 Mar '09, 23:43 | X
        • 20 minutes walk

          and maryhill road is amazing in itself. it has tesco and lots of cool old man pubs.

    so I could move here for university. Definitely move to Glasgow if you get the chance.

      me and my gf moved here without knowing anyone or having a job here.

  • i have a romantic vision of Glasgow at the moment

    through reading Lanark, i've never been but i'm tempted to go live there now. I'm sure it will soon pass.

    Teddus | 5 Mar '09, 20:16 | X
    • Pretty much exactly the same as Lanark.

      poptimusgrime @Teddus | 5 Mar '09, 20:27 | X
      • When I first went there I was all like:

        "omgz it's just like Lanark!!11!"

        but now I've calmed down and just think it's beautiful in and of itself.

  • Glasgow Uni is mint.

    Been here two and a half years or so. Never had a dull moment, the city and the uni is amazing. Incidentely, i never had any idea how many people on DiS were up here!?

    Blind_Pilot | 5 Mar '09, 20:52 | X
  • i rip the piss out of the place/its people nigh on constantly

    but it is actually a real nice university, and if i was interested in em... 'academic' courses i would have tried hard at school AND WENT THERE.

    lameosaur | 5 Mar '09, 21:28 | X
    • I can fairly confidently say that isn't true.

      Sure, there's a hell of a lot of numpties, especially the GUU types, but there's also lots of nice, friendly folk. Just like any other uni in that respect really.

      ChicCharnley @wishpig | 5 Mar '09, 23:17 | X

      i agree, most glasgow students are twats.

      • Glasgow Uni is great.

        In fact I've just walked back to my flat from the library and stopped at the end of Kelvin Way (whilst keeping one eye out for bum rapists) just to look up at how lovely the uni looks at night when it's all lit up.

        Besides from being very pretty and nice, it's also just a really good university, with some interesting folk and all-round loveliness.

        ChicCharnley | 5 Mar '09, 23:16 | X
      • Glasgow as a city is amazing

        and on an average week has like over 100 gigs per week.

        however as a student at strathclyde i feel the need to dilike glasgow uni and its prettiness (we have some god awful buildings)

        custardcreams | 6 Mar '09, 03:28 | X
        • it's somewhat ironic that the architecture building

          is the most ill thought out, ugly-ass building in Strathclyde University, eh?

          lameosaur @custardcreams | 6 Mar '09, 08:19 | X
          • livvy tower

            is just as bad.

            custardcreams @lameosaur | 6 Mar '09, 15:59 | X
            • james weir

              when separated form royal college is an ugly assed building. its too 60/70sish. it just jammed onto the side of the only pretty buiding in strathclde. also the ceilings are to high and it's awful when you have to run up the stairs.

              also the whole floor level thing when in royal college /james weir/ thomas ghrame is too confusing. like 4 on roayl college= ground on james weir, mez on james weir= ground on thomas grahme.

              i do love strathclyde though
