Paisley drags the west of Scotland down a bit. Ach, I suppose some of it is not too bad, but seriously some parts of it have the worst people you can imagine.
But Glasgow is top notch.

Moodiesburn, Gartcosh, Muirhead, and some further east - Blairingone, and Livingston, which isn't really a village. I'm actually looking at Japanese and Oriental Studies at the moment, 18 months working in a PC shop has convinced me beyond all reasonable doubt that I can't possibly stand to follow a career in computing. Mainly looking at courses in Edinburgh at the moment, but nothing firm decided yet at all.
I have mates in Linvingston. And a mate who used to live in Gartcosh.
Edinburgh was rated slightly better than Glasgow overall the past couple of years, but the nightlife is nothing in comparison. Nor is the shopping or music scene or anything much of interest to me.
As a Computer Science graduate from Glasgow, I can assure you, the vast majority of jobs are nothing like working in a PC shop (probably for little pay and a boss you hate, yes?). They did a really good course, very good with the programming and design elements in particular (one of the current professors moonlights for NASA finding all their bugs). Currently they are pioneering true 3D movies, i.e. ones that you can watch from any angle.

Ah right, a good non-partisan view :D I just don't feel like it interests me enough...I've gone off computers completely, all my time and money tends to go in to travel and music now. Suppose I could look at becoming a Minstrel, given the state of courses at uni nowadays somewhere must do a BA Mistrel..rey option.
I've not taking any sciences or maths at the moment, so I think it might come as a bit of a shock to be to just back in to think; hardly even following PC hardware developments at the moment. Still, as I said, not ruling anything out yet, need to have a wander around a few places really.

I went off computers just before I started my degree. But it was a bit late, I had accepted the place by then. So I started it and hoped for the best.
I had two inspirational lecturers and I was in love with them all over again. After 4 years, and boring lecturers toward the end, it began to get a bit boring so rather than just apply for regular jobs at the age of 20, in search of adrenalin I went off to fly planes instead. Makes perfect sense...
It is difficult to know what you want to do when you are 17 or so. I don't know about BAs in Minstrelling, but there is the RSAMD and other places like that, that do full time courses in music if you were interested in taking that up full time. Or there are things like Music Technology or sound and video engineering. There are loads of things.
Next time you are up in Glasgow you should check out a place called Seven Notes in the Savoy Centre. That is the wee in shops type place on Sauchiehall Street. The guy in there is an old shredder. One of the last times I went in he had his old Kramer Barreta (or Pacer, I can't remember which) 1984 version... it was lovely.

Edinburgh Uni is full of posh twits. The courses are pretty good but some of the people are just awful: riding up to lectures on their ponies, wearing pashminas and gilets, going 'yah yah yah' into their mobiles at top volume IN THE F*ING LIBRARY, etc etc.
Glasgow is a better city too.

Glasgow is cool
And has got cooler since I started Uni

Hm, I'll remember that place, I love little shops like that...
Doubt I could really do an actual music course, I only really took up guitar seriously about 18 months ago, never took music at GCSE and have little practical experience, although I do enjoy doing the tech stuffs - Head of sound for all events now.
I have no idea where I want to go after uni, but I've always loved languages and communication, so it tends to be foreign studies type courses that appeal to me, but iwht nothing firm in mind for anything beyond that. Mild panic when the head of 6th form starts assembly with "By now you hopefully all know what course you're looking for in university"..

I like McCormacks
Bought a new chord book there today

I do that course at Strathclyde. Decided on Strathclyde over Glasgow as the honours degree course was better than the one at Glasgow.
Was in Glasgow today. Got some cd's with my voucher. La la la
