ok ok Im there
Posted on September 7th, 2008 by Juan Ortiz-Apuyok. sorry i’ve been absent for a few days. the crazyness of packing, leaving, flying, arriving was almost a bit too much for me. So, I’m finally here. Glasgow!. Well, its a lot how I imagined it to be. Except for the weather which has actually been nice (I even got a few sporadic periods of sunshine!). Things have gone relatively smooth. I arrived Friday morning with more luggage than I can possibly carry but I managed to throw everytthing onto a cart and drag accross Glasgow International Airport. Customs & Immigration went completely smooth, I was really pleased & happpy. No weird questions or hassles.
so far I have enjoyed the city very much. its a fairly handsome city with lots of shops & weird/interesting stores. one of the things that has striken me the most is that you dont see a lot of people in the streets. but it might just be that i’ve done that at odd time and/or the weekend.
These nights I’ve been staying at the Glasgow Hostel while I look for a flat. Great place really. Friendly staff & convenient facilities. This being said though, CANNOT wait until I find my own place. You cant really beat having you own room. I also learned that the single most important thing to bring to a hostel is: EARPLUGS!. Please if you dont know this, never forget. Because you can either get the super-loud snoring-person or the stay-up-late-and-make-lots-of-noise-person or the laugh-while-sleeping person (which is really, really freaky).
Ok, well, all in all, I just wanted to drop a few lines to say how things are going. Im slowly adapting to the change. Although I really miss my friends & my ladyfriend Amelie, I try to take things day by day.
Ok ok greetings from glasgow & I will write a bit more soon. until then,
juan

Hi
I am an American Citizen participating in a summer study program in a few weeks in London.
I will have a bank statement from the day before I arrive in London and also for the past month – showing my deposit. I realize the immigration requirement for Student Visitors is to have funds equivalent to 500 pounds per month of stay. I am staying for two months = that equates 1000 pounds = 1650 dollars. My account 28 days before my entry shows a balance of about 1,300 – 1400 dollars. My subsequent deposits of 1,500 and 3,000 dollars each were made less than 28 days before my arrival (17 days before in the case of the first, 11 days in the case of the latter)
Will I be denied entry for this? I don’t know what your experiences were with the immigration – how strict they were etc. I am kind of freaking out right now that I will be sent back… so anything would be great.

Hey Juan,

Cheers,

I spent christmas in Glasgow a couple of years back, the streets were packed then.
I guess my favourite place was the Cineworld tower in town, you can see for miles from the top floor! Almost more interesting then the film!

Hi, my name is Mikaela Christensen.
I am 21 years old and I’m from Sweden. Im planning to study here in England next year, and I realised I have to take an english test of some sort before I can start studying. Is this the CAE test?
I was also wondering weather you know anywhere I can go to convert my swedish grades into the english system?
I would be thankful for your help!
/Mikaela Christensen
October 28th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
Its good to see such a great Study in Uk blog. And this blog information is very informative. Yes weather is very difficult in Glasgow.
@ Mikaela >>> Thank you for your question. Mikaela welcome to England. Yes you can arrange a English test. Make a preparation for IELTS exam. It would be great if you do it. Or you can do any other Normal English course as well.
You want to convert your swedish study to Uk study for that you have to contact with your institution, where you want to study. Even I have a blog you can take look >>> http://www.thelondonstudy.com
Thank You

March 1st, 2010 at 1:05 am
Okay, we’re going on a school trip to Costa Rica in May. It’s supposed to be really humid and in the 70′s and 80′s when we go. I HATE it hot or warm. I love the cold. The thing is, is that in San Jose, CR, there will be a ton of mosquitos. Our teachers suggest that we wear long pants and clothes. But its’ going to be sooo hot and I’ll get really hot and stick which is really annoying.

Hello,
I believe that it might benefit visitors to your website to have a Student Accommodation link to my website, http://www.StudentAccommodationShop.co.uk , which provides a free search facility with thousands of up-to-the-minute details of properties available for students to rent through the entire UK.
The properties advertised on my site are provided by thousands of Letting Agents and Landlords at no cost to the student; and because the advertisers are not charged by me to place their adverts on the site either, the number of accommodation providers is rapidly increasing day after day.
Thank you for your time and I welcome any questions you might have about my site.
Regards,
Chris Johnston

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

Thanks for the publish. My spouse and i have generally noticed that most people are eager to lose weight when they wish to look slim and also attractive. On the other hand, they do not generally realize that there are many benefits just for losing weight in addition. Doctors declare that over weight people come across a variety of illnesses that can be instantly attributed to their particular excess weight. The good news is that people that are overweight in addition to suffering from several diseases can reduce the severity of their illnesses through losing weight. You’ll be able to see a continuous but notable improvement in health while even a slight amount of weight-loss is accomplished.
