Day time TV soon replaces Lectures and it is ok to drag your sofa outside of beers in the warmer months
This is going back a bit but, when I was a student in Glasgow in the early 80s and we missed our stop on the underground we used to stay on the train until it got back to the stop we meant to get off at. This made perfect sense at the time.
This only worked because Glasgow has a circular underground system - don't try it in London or Newcastle!
We also used to try getting off at evet stop and looking for a bar. There were bars - I didn't make it to all of them ,some of the stops seemed to be in areas of waste ground at that time. Nice yuppie flats there now I am sure.
We also used to go to the Carnival the Kelvin hall instead of lectures for most of the month of December. Students now can't do that as the carnival moved to the SECC years ago.
We also used to walk from Glasgow Uni to Anderson bus station at 3 am to get a night bus home after a night out.
(I would feel nervous doing that IN A CAR now!)
Me and my flatmate got on the wrong bus and didn't realise until everybody had got off and the bus driver came to see where we wanted to go. We ended up on a bus for an hour and half. We now get a taxi every time we come back from shopping.
Came across this website which some of you might find useful:
www.thestudentroom.co.uk, this site is a place to help you decide which uni to go to, how to survive a long-distance relationship and money saving advice. And there is a message board where you can chat to other freshers. :)
You get so skint that you nick toilet roll from the toilets in the library because you can't afford tissues for your cold.
