Personal comments
Try to make the matriculation process to courses easier. Studients have to spend a considerable amount of time trying to find the adecuate courses and the course requirements on their own and talking to teachers who do not know what these are.

Final comments
Anyone staying in Glasgow should take advantage of it and travel as much in Scotland as possible. There are many clubs that you can join that organise weekend trips.
Check your accommodation before you pay for it and make sure it is the closest available to the campus.
Take advantage of the Sports Facilities! Joining the gym is very cheap and there are plenty of different activities you can do. They are the ebst facilities I have ever seen in a campus.

Personal comments
In general I am happy with my language improvement, because even though I had a good paper knowledge of the language, it was difficult to put it into practice and develop fluency. After my stay in Glasgow I felt much at ease when I had to speak in English. Mainly I practised at University, with teachers and local students, and outside University at shops. It was difficult to get to know local students and share their activities (mainly the night live ones) due to the age difference (as the local students sharing accomodation or classes with us where much younger).
