University of Strathclyde

It is a long time I was in Glasgow, unfortunately I do not remeber the names of the best night spots. Anyway it was very easy to find them, just asking to the students were studying there for a long time. I suggest the area around Buchannan Street, going in the direction to the Glasgow University.

All I wrote above may explain what I think about. Moreover, it was a good chance to improve my English in a cosmopolitan city, filled of students many of them international. A meeting "service" was provided by the university managers to help international students meet other people in order to make you relaxed with the new city as soon as you feel comfortable. In conclusion, the university was well-organized for helping international students.

Scottish accent is very strong, so surely you will find problem to understand what local people are saying at the first time. As the university classes I attended were directed mainly by Scottish Professors, at the beginning it was complicated, but just a bit later I started to imporve the listening. And do not forget that Scottish are much more friendly than English!!! They will help you by repeat the word and try to use different words you are more confortable.

I strongly suggest to make the ticket as soon as possible in order to pay cheaper airfares.

Most of the utilities you need in the house are provided by the Landlord. For the food, try to go in big supermarket, such as Tesco, Sainsbury, etc.
