I live in Scotland, but about 60 miles out from Glasgow, but I kind of know my way around Glasgow city centre... a little!

I'm 17 and will be studying management and economics in the business school, yaay! xD
I've got my offer for James Goold Hall! :biggrin:

Hi everybody! I'm Alessandro, a 19-year-old boy from Italy - though I will turn 20 by the beginning of the courses. I will be studying (hopefully, since I haven't seen any changes in my status yet) Politics and Economics: I hope to hear of someone who is going to attend these courses! So far I don't know anybody in fact and I wish I could get to know someone to meet in order not to be completely alone during my first days in Glasgow!


hey, i'm doing economics and spanish! i'm also half italian :tongue: haha!

I gotta say the burger was nice and I bought some really good chili sauce but uh, where was the International Food Fair? :tongue:

The African drum lesson in front of the CU stall was super nice :biggrin:

I didn't buy anything, was almost tempted by a couple of things but I was so disappointed at how underwhelming it was that I think it put me off, haha.

Never saw that :frown:
Is it just me or does anyone else feel that Freshers is not that good unless you live in halls? I have so far been very disappointed - it's just so hard going solo :frown: Sad times because none of my mates could come with me.

I haven't been massively impressed so far, I went in yesterday (the fairground was moved inside because of the weather), then today I was just in for an induction lecture.

Yeah, you're right: seems like everyone there already knows people from their halls or whatever so those of us going alone are left stranded a bit. Still, got induction tomorrow so hopefully I'll meet people :3

From what I've seen so far, people are just sticking with friends they already know, and avoiding other people.

Then I suppose I'm lucky I know two people on my course, even if we've only spoken a couple of times. Maybe in time people will open up a bit more, I don't know.
