March 2010 Recap & Poll Results [GlasgowUniPhoto.com]
Where’d the term go? It’s almost Easter and a lot of people are jetting off home or some exotic locations for the next few weeks, before coming back just in time for several excruciating weeks of exams. It’s gonna be a pretty quiet month around campus.

Now, moving on, poll results. March was the month of student politics and elections. I posted a collage each from the SRC, GUU and QMU elections (missed the GUSA elections, overslept. The entire day. Oops). As for the results, pretty pleased to see that the majority of respondents do actually vote, leaving just 12% or respondents to consider student elections a waste of time. Quite interested in finding out why people think they’re a waste of time, so if anyone who said they’re a waste of time reads this, do leave a comment below and say why. Pretty please?
The poll for the month of April is asking where you lived during your first year as a student at Glasgow University, be it as an undergraduate or a postgraduate.
The reason I’m asking this question right now is because in the coming months students entering the University in September will be filling in applications for residences, trying to choose between all the possible student halls of residence. To add to this, once the weather gets a bit better, I’m heading out to photograph all the University’s different student halls around Glasgow. Well, attempting to anyway.
If you have any comments about any of the student halls, or short stories about your time at the halls, leave a comment on the bottom of the poll, found here: http://poll.fm/1sb0f, or on the coming blog posts featuring the various student halls.
Below, as usual, are all the photos from the last month:

Davidson Building Lecture Theatre (Room 208)
Had a little bit of difficulty finding this lecture theatre. There are no signs directing you to the Davidson Building‘s main lecture theatre, Room 208. Well, none within the building at least, which is where you would first look for a lecture theatre, wouldn’t you? The lecture theatre is actually outside the building (although connected to it), and to get into the Davidson Building, you will undoubtedly walk past it.
To complicate matters even more, the Davidson Building, the Wolfson Building and the West Medical Building make up one large building, linked on the inside. There is a Room 208 in the Wolfson Building, which you can get to by entering the Davidson Building and taking the stairs down, entering the Wolfson Building without knowing you’ve done so, and walking along the hallway. To my surprise, this particular Room 208 is not a lecture theatre, but someone’s office.
I’m posting a few more photos of this corner of the University next week, and I’ll point out the location of the lecture theatre when I post one of the Davidson Building. You know, just so you won’t make the same mistake I did when looking for Room 208.
