Personal comments
My english was pretty good before I started my course. I learned many local expressions and about the history of the country and its people. My communication skills have nevertheless improved considerably. Although I could have a normal conversation when I arrived, I am now able to make presentations with great ease and fluency. Got a bit of the local accent as well and people are usually confused about where I'm from as some of my expressions are and sound Scottish.

Don't work too much outside Uni! The money might be good, but you exhaust yourself and lose focus on your real objective 'your studies'.

Personal comments
Student night spots include 'The Garage' 'Shack' and all the pubs around Sauchihall Street (just follow the crowd). Alternatively, closer to Glasgow University, Ashton Lane with its many pubs and good student atmosphere.
