🏠 Housing
Your basecamp for chaos
The Social Hub is your go-to – modern, social, and full of legends on exchange. It’s where the stories start.
Try to live in the West End – close to uni, buzzing with students, and hella aesthetic.
Avoid living alone – Glasgow is about connection, banter, and late-night flat parties.
Facebook groups & Uni forums = gold mines for shared flats if you’re last minute. But be aware of scams.
Pro tip: Go to flat viewings with a good vibe – locals often pick flatmates based on personality more than anything.
🍻 Going Out
For the brave and the bold
Sub Club = iconic underground rave spot. You haven’t done Glasgow until you’ve sweated here at 3AM.
Garage = where every night turns into a story (sometimes good, sometimes chaotic).
Nice N Sleazy – chill, grungy vibes, great for meeting locals and hearing weird music.
Pints are cheap. Shots are dangerous. Buckfast is a rite of passage.
Tip: Most clubs are open till 3AM – eat before you go, or you'll regret it.

Your exchange isn’t just one city
Hit the Highlands – rent a car with friends and road trip through Glencoe. Unreal vibes.
Weekend escapes? Edinburgh (1h), Isle of Skye, and even Belfast are super doable.
The Megabus is your broke bestie – it’ll get you places for £5.
Use Trainline App to book cheap train tickets (and split the group fares).
Want a proper adventure? Hop on a ferry to the Hebrides – pure Scottish magic.
🌆 What to Do in the Glasgow
Not just pubs
Explore Kelvingrove Park and the Art Gallery – it’s stunning and 100% free.
Ashton Lane – cobblestone alley full of cute bars, fairy lights, and perfect date spots.
Try the weird but iconic deep-fried Mars bar (once, no more).
Catch a gig at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut – where Oasis got discovered.
Take a walk along the River Clyde – chill playlist, headphones, and existential thoughts.
💥 Bonus Tips
Exchange Survival
People are super friendly – talk to strangers, they might become your party crew.
Accent is real. You won’t understand anything at first, but you’ll grow into it.
Rain? Yes. Get a good jacket and just vibe with it.
Join student societies early – great way to meet both locals and other exchange students.
Don't just hang with internationals – Glaswegians will show you the real side of the city.
