April 2010 Recap and Poll Results [GlasgowUniPhoto.com]

It’s time for exam season again, so good luck to you all. Without further ado, let’s move to the poll results. Where did you live in your first year at Glasgow University? Let’s see the results of the poll:

No real surprises there, as Murano Street is the largest concentration of Glasgow University students and a very likely home for roughly a quarter of new students each year, housing some 1,000 students at a time. Glasgow University has a very large number of “home” students, students from within Glasgow and the surrounding areas, so students living at home being the second largest group is not surprise.  The two Other answers were ‘Cooperage Place’, which the University bought from Unite in 2009, and ‘a flat in Springburn’, so add one to ‘Private Accommodation’.

Seeing as exam season has begun, the poll for the month of May queries about your study habits for exams. What is your favourite place to study for exams?

John McIntyre Building Wrapped Up


Seeing as this week is filled with posts about renovations and scaffolding, one more can’t hurt. If there’s one industry which seems to be doing well in this economy, it would be the scaffolding industry. This is the John McIntyre Building, from next to The Square. I wonder if the entire building will be covered in blue?

No idea how long the John Mac will be under the covers for, or what they’re doing to the building. It’ll be interesting to see what the old quarters of the John Smith Bookshop will be after the renovations, as since the bookshop moved to the Fraser Building, the empty space was temporarily occupied by the boating club for use as their gym.
