[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I received my masters degree from Univ. of Glasgow. It doesn't have the beauty of Edinburgh, but it was the most fun place I have ever lived. People in Glasgow have these wicked senses of humor, and I made such great friends. Not sure how you can get a sense of that on a weekend visit without knowing anyone though. The students in the grad schools were very smart, and now years later, they have all been successful, about half moved out of the UK, like me. I would do it all over again.[/quote]

Yes, I think the humor is a good cultural fit for my son. My husband has the same sense of humor. I think both Glasgow and Edinburgh will offer that more than St Andrews, since SA has more American/International students.   I was more curious about the feel of the campuses since they are both in cities. Is there a sense of "campus life" / community in Glasgow? Do most of the kids live in student housing? Is there a big student union at Glasgow like there is at Edinburgh?

Thanks![/quote]

When I was there, the only campus life was the student union, the student flats are the place of parties and such, but kids don't have a lot of extra money like in the US. The library closes at 5or 6pm as does most of the campus. The kids are in a mix of on and off campus housing. It's a very strong social scene that also revolves around the clubs, bars and nightclubs. I'm sure there's more there now. [/quote]
