‘Glasgow University’ by Laura Watson
Originally uploaded by University of Glasgow Student Network.
Its that time of year when we start getting lots of e-mail enquiries from students in different parts of the world, all of whom seem to be worried about our climate.
If you are worried then take a look at some of the photo’s, especially those of the main building, recently posted to our Flickr account – www.flickr.com/photos/studentnetwork All of the photo’s on this site are by current students, some of them local and some international. The photo I have chosen, to illustrate my point (see above) is by Laura Watson and, as the title suggests, was taken on a typically wet Glasgow day. Doesn’t look that bad though does it – must have been a passing shower. And if you bother to take the time to look at our site there are even some photo’s with clear blue sky… proof if you ever needed it that it doesn’t always rain in Glasgow (and that the camera never lies…).
My point is however that the weather here isn’t really that bad and actually shouldn’t really be a major factor in whether you choose to come to study at Glasgow or not.
If further proof was needed then check out or student blogs as well – www.gla.ac.uk/services/studentnetwork/studentblogs/ – where the subject of the weather crops up more than once…
