University of Glasgow blether thread

Great, let us forget the pathetic behaviour of these thugs who put staff in danger by trying to get into No 11 after the cops came around, or their "let us march to Muscatelli" rally where they got lost in the cloisters, then smashed a pane in a door(of course they will put it as the fault of security, fact is they were banging on that door violently), or their public endorsement of kettling Porter, or the sheer embarrassment and loss of repute they have brought to the university by acting like immature children after failing to propose a sensible business plan for the Hetherington.

People, help me with a piece of advice please.

Is there any possibility to live in Edinburgh and study in Glasgow?
You know, take a bus or a train from Edinburgh every morning to go to Glasgow?
If yes, is there any possibility to get a kind of subscription and not pay daily for the road?
If no... well, it's no :P

I've heard of one person living in Edinburgh and studying in Glasgow, but on the whole it's not a good idea;

Living expenses in Edinburgh are higher
Travel costs will be ridiculous
It will take several hours out of every day just for travelling
You'll miss out on social events that finish in the early hours if you travel by public transport, or drinking sessions (if you drink) because you have to drive.
I live about 10 miles away from the city centre (about an hour and a quarter all in in terms of walking to the train, getting the underground etc) and it really plays with you at times, I'll spend several weeks just in a foul mood because I have to commute, living in Edinburgh would be about 10 times worse I reckon

you sound like a grumpy old man


don't listen to him. I am a healthy happy and NORMAL person.

Also my parents are jobby strict so its fairly beneficial being between two cities

Rest assured that when they graduate (if they graduate), with their nonsense degrees, they will hit the real, cold ground with a deafening thump. The real world is coming their way.

Aye it's alright for the first year, even the second year isn't too bad.
But 4 years of it really grinds (especially when you've had 2 years in the middle staying a 5 minute walk away)
Especially the cost of food, which you can't claim back.

Aye, it is absolutely disgusting.

I attempted to watch that video, but I only got to the 5 minute mark before wanting to punch somebody.

Anybody else up for setting up several boom boxes around the Hetherington and play loops of the most annoying choruses from the most annoying songs over the past 50 years until they give up and leave the building out of sleep deprivation and/or insanity?

They appear to have vandalised the walls of the senate while they were there last week as well....

Heya, erm, I have a question.

How do I get from Glasgow to St Andrews?

By bus or train - doesnt matter, however, what matters is the price - I cant afford to pay more than 30 quid as I have other expenses to cover such as hotel fees and some other stuff... so yeah~

I am open for suggestions

Naw, that's just some MDF they've stuck up whilst redecorating that part of the building.
