University of Glasgow blether thread

Anyone know if the Fraser building will be open today? Just need to chuck a form in a box, don't need to see anyone. As far as I can tell the website only gives the cafe and student services opening hours.

It didn't look open on the way past this morning. You tend to struggle to get anything out of term time open- I'm in the library and aside from a couple of security guards, there are no admin or catering staff. I assume that probably means everywhere else is shut.

Thanks, glad I didn't bother with the 3 hour round trip then! Just posted it. This is getting confusing though, I have so many people I need to talk to over summer and none of them are there.

Never got into Zoology Honours, but did get into Animal Biology DD. I asked and they said I can get back into Honours if I do well enough so I can atleast try but if I don't then I graduate with a degree which is alright in my book.

As my optional subject I'm keen on Gaelic, it was spoken by my grandparents but it didn't get passed down the generations and I feel that's a shame, I want to keep the language alive. I love the sound and rhythm of it, and I don't care that it has little use these days.

Marine & Freshwater Biology, I love my fishes! I'm aware a lot of it will be studying the level of salination in the upper Clyde and not Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, but here's hoping...

What are you studying?

Hey guys sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if at the beginning of the year during freshers week do you have a meeting with your advisor? Because I want to switch subjects (from an arts subject to a social science subject :/) I just don't know whether I'm going to have to make some sort of appointment. And the thing is that I don't even want to study the subject I chose anymore at all. Not even during first year :/ Do you think this is going to be a massive problem? haha thank you!!

So I'm confirmed to start Biochemistry in september, but I can't find any information on the free third subject choice. What sort of subject does people normally pick?

There's a chart somewhere which shows Honours combinations. That's pretty much the third subjects you can do, because they want to make sure you have a pathway to honours if something goes wrong with another subject.

Not in life sciences, most people's third subject is one which often leads no where such as exploring the cosmos or environmental science. These don't go past level 1 :P you can take anything you want that the uni offers at L1.

Aw weird, I was told I couldn't do environmental science because if I failed miserably at French or Italian, I couldn't do a language + environmental science as joint honours, so she made me pick one I could continue after 1st year (which led me to the horror that is Central and East European studies)
