Personal comments
There are some very good cultural events, concerts, expositions, movies. The Sport building is quite good, there are all kind of equipment there. I like to go to Destiny which is a night club. The Glasgow University Union Club is quite good too. Glasgow has two airports with economic flights through some cities of Europe.

The exams shoudn't be only on a couple of weeks. We dont have enough time to breath from one to other, even some of them are in the same day.
