Personal comments
There is many places in Glasgow that you shouldn´t miss!. At night take a look around the social pub in exchange as well as the diferent night clubs like Karbon,Kushion or the school of art for instance.
The best place to have a pre-drink or a great dinner is the counting house just in George square and if you are a real football fan, Europe in George square and Campus in Sauchiehall street is defenetly your best options!.
For a romantic night or a calm drink with friends I would recomend any bars in Merchant city where the offer is very large.

Do not set previous impresions of the places you might go. Take everything with positivism and enjoy everything even if is doing the lundry in the lundry room!;)
If you are a student in the UK you will see that you will have discounts almost everywhere!.
