What’s on Glasgow: Students.


Glasgow is home to many students – they come from all over Scotland, the UK, Europe and Overseas. Some will be starting their studies and others will be finishing their degrees at one of the city’s prestigious universities, Glasgow School of Art or the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Or they may be starting a college course.
Glasgow welcomes and caters for our students with a diverse selection of bars, cafes, gigs, literary events and exhibitions. There is also a fantastic series of festivals in the city throughout the year. I’ll be flagging these up on the site. Watch out for free events.
