School/Uni Help Thread

I'm so jealous of you * in the UK with your month-long revision periods. On my semester abroad in St. Andrews my friends and I just travelled until the week before. Where I went in the US last day of classes was a Friday and exams started the next Monday.

 

Is Glasgow uni alright? Got an offer there a while back but unsure if I want to accept. Any of guys have any experience of studying there? What's it like living in Glasgow? Cheers for your answers.

 

what city you from ?

 

Glasgow uni is full of * but Glasgow is a great place to live, just get steaming every night and go to Celtic games, sorted

 

I'm actually from Gothenburg, Sweden. But I got family in Glasgow, so figured I'd apply to Glasgow uni. Nice change of pace from living my entire life in Sweden perhaps

 

Glasgow Uni is a cracking uni - 4th oldest in the English speaking world, Russell Group aswell. Plus Glasgow is cracking to live in.

You'll be fine.

 

Its a no brainer then get your * over to glasgow and you can see family and have great nights out and watch celtic games live every 2nd saturday


just dont move to mcguires old patch (possil)

 

Glasgow is a great uni, there's a lot of foreign students there so you won't feel out of place. Out of interest, what are you studying?

Living in Glasgow can be a eh... mixed bag. Some parts of the city are literally some of the most deprived areas in Europe, others are as nice as you'll get anywhere in the UK.

 

Business & Management/Politics is what I'll be studying there. Yeah, I might be able to live family for a year or so to save money, so that's a huge plus. I've been to Glasgow many times, but never lived there.

 

Edinburgh uni or Glasgow....some * tell me what I should do

 

Congrats, both really good uni's

What course? What do you want to do?

 

Pretty much this, although it is full of pretentious * :smiley-laughing002:

 

Would it make me a pretentious * going there? :smiley-laughing002:

 

I went to Glasgow great uni but full of pretentious *

 

Nah :smiley-laughing002:

It's a big enough uni for you to meet plenty of sound people tbh, the pretentious * type will probably exist at any older/Russell Group UK university so it isn't really a concern.

Glasgow is a cracking place to study too. I've read about a lot of foreign students having problems 'adapting' to the * weather, but coming from Sweden I don't think it would be much of an issue.

 

I like the look of Glasgow, it's the course I'm uncertain on tbh haha

 

Economics my friend. Maybe an ethical/moral '*' of some sort

Edinburgh has better reputation for Economics I think, but I think it is probably more 'elitist'...would love to do a masters at Oxford/LSE, so undergrad uni might not be as important to employers. That's a bit of a pipe dream though.

 

I did economics at Glasgow. I pretty much agree with everything you said there. Doing it again I would probably pick Edinburgh - like you said it's more elitist, and probably full of more * to boot, but the big investment firms in Edinburgh recruit straight from there (they do at Glasgow too but without such regularity I guess).

A masters in Oxford/LSE in the right subject would set you up nicely for pretty much anything you wanted to do, but it would be crazy expensive I imagine.

 

Don't listen to him. Come to Strathclyde. Our business school is well better.
