You can join the University clubs and go out for a night with them. You'll come home stoned! Don't miss the Shack near Pitt street, and the Garage if you like the disco. Plenty of Pubs will assure you a great hangover espacially the Mollymalone: Live music on friday and saturday. Don't forget to go to a football match at Ibrox, or Celtic Park at Parkhead. Travel to the west coast to the isle of Skye or to the far north to the Orkney islands, you'll discover a great landscape. Easy from the Buchannan bus station.

the university accomodations are ok, even if they look like hospitals sometimes :-) ;at the beginning i stayed into a university accomodation cause i preferred to have an accomodation just from the first day of my experience; even if i'm really flexible, i think it was too expensive (270 £ for a shared room) but really well located (4 minutes walking from the department!!!)

Glasgow is an amazing music city... concerts are on every day of the week. Check out King Tuts for a great venue or the unions at the uni sometimes have good gigs. Jumpin Jaks on wednesdays, GUU on thursdays, QMU (Cheesy pop) on fridays... Glasgow has a great nightlife and so many pubs to go out for a drink at. Join the international society at the uni and go to the pub The Primary on thursdays to meet all the other exchange students. People are extremely friendly and the prices are low.

It provides a wide range of university accommodation oportunities and information on other accommodation available in the city. Not all the university accommodation is near the campus.
