University of Glasgow

According to a student from Glasgow, following are some helpful tips for the first year students.

• GU union is better than QM union. Majority opinion. Membership gives cheap entry to Hive (a nightclub).
• Make some friends on your course. If you miss a lecture they can fill you in.
• If you want a good seat in the library at exam time (with an electric socket) get there before 9.
• There are free teabags etc. available on floor 10 of library, courtesy of a caring librarian.
• Join as many societies as you like. It's a great way to make friends outside your course.
• Murano is a good Hall for a party but you might regret that during exam time.
• If you live in Cairncross Hall, you will always smell like Cairncross.
• Wolfson Hall is far from the Uni unless you're a vet student, but apparently you get a free bus pass.
• The Brasserie- underneath Kelvin Galleries - is a little known gem for lunch or coffee.
• If you are short of cash, The Cript, below the church across from the memorial gates is good for lunch. If you go late they give unsold food away for free.
