| Comment | Okay well welcome to Glasgow (or in September lol).
Keep in mind that rent gets higher the closer to the city centre, so if you live just outside the city, even half an hour commute it can take your rent down £200. Don't know if you're interested in the buses, but First Bus have the most regular services, a monthly bus pass is £54 I think, cheaper if you're a student (around £47, use the app, don't buy from a shop they add a fee).
Tell GF to keep an eye out for student deal, lots of shops in the city centre will offer discounts for students. The best pubs and clubs for people new to the area are all at the top end of Sauchiehall street - pro tip, Taco Bell shuts at 4am so leave a club at 3 and head for some food before going home...
Make friends with your neighbours, even if it's a flat try and be nice to the ones on the same floor. They'll take parcels in for you saving trips to the post office depot and keep an eye on your place.
Paisley and Clydebank are good areas too! Good links into Glasgow from there, lots of hidden places in Paisley to check out. |
