If you're reading this thread you're obviously unsure about whether to go to strathclyde university or another.
All I can say is; don't be fooled by the "aw yeah strathclyde's a 'total party uni' patter," because it's a load of sh***. Anyone who says that has clearly never been to anything more advanced than fuc**** pre-drinks at spoons.
If you want to be surrounded by a tonne of wannabe party-fiends who talk about "pre's," 9-5 and then sit on their arse all night up kokomo, then fire on in. That's your scene.
On the other hand, pick a uni with a bit of class, a bit of culture and get a bloody taxi up the town. You can dip in and out of the clubs but you can never drag yourself out of this shi**hole.
Also, birkbeck does have the most parties and the people there are probably most keen for a good time (successful applicants are sent a personal survey to partner you with similar bawbags), but the trade-off is you live in a f***ing slum.
So, if you want to swan about with a bottle of warm f***ing bud in your hand and then tell all your wee pals about how last night was "off the scale," and then make it to 9am engineering mechanics, get yourself stuck right in. 5 years of sheer "madness," await.
