Welcome to the SRC
30|08 SRC’s Guide to Studying and Living in Glasgow Now Available
’The Guide’ is produced by the SRC each year. It’s described as ‘the ultimate guide to living and learning in Glasgow’- that covers it pretty well. It’s rammed full of all the information that you can spend four years here and still never get round to learning. Absorbing a good bit of the info it contains before you get here (or brushing up on it for returning students) is well recommended to give you that bit of an advantage over your peers. Accommodation, good shops, cafes, pubs, music, university sports clubs, who to turn to for advice, drugs advice, academic appeals, cinemas, student media and plenty more, The Guide has it covered.
Read it or download a copy over at our SRC Scribd page
27|08 Register for your Freshers’ Week Pass
If you’re still yet to fill out a registration form for the Freshers’ Pass, which gives you access to all the events going on during the week at both unions, the sports association, and by our-very-selves the SRC, you can grab a handy pdf of the form, print it out and send it back to us.
We realise that students coming from outside the UK may have problem getting a cheque or postal order sorted. That isn’t a problem. We’ve posted a solution to the problem on our Facebook page , where you can keep up to date with what we’ve got going on.
The full lineup for Freshers’ Week is currently being compiled into one big unified guide, which will be distributed here as soon as we’ve got it ready. We’re looking forward to welcoming all the new students to the Univesrity, and showing you what Glasgow is all about.
16|08 We’re Home!
