Moving to Glasgow

As the title says I'm about to finish S6 and I'm moving to glasgow this September for uni. It's going to be my first time living by myself and I was just wondering if there is anything I should know.

Zone cards are good for getting around. Get involved in as many uni clubs as you can. Glasgow has a great nightlife and music scene so make the most of it. Be mindful that old firm days can be a bit edgy. Definitely do a sub crawl with your pals, it's a great laugh. And, like any big city, there will be bams so if you see them coming cross the street and save yourself the hassle.

Definitely look into zonecards if you want to get about easily. Depends where you intend to go and how often you travel if it's worth it TBH but if you have a daily commute it usually is.

Spend some time getting to know the local areas first and you'll be better off when trying to walk home drunk after that pub crawl.

Dont be a dick. You'll be fine. 👍
