Open Day

Well the start of the school year is quickly upon us.
The wee ones are now all back at school and the shelves of WHSsmith, Woolworths and Borders have all been picked over getting the latest and greatest swag for taking those lecture notes with!

If you can't find any trendy pads and pens to doodle with during your lectures don't forget to check out the supplies that are available at the Queen Margaret Union or even the campus book store, suprisingly its affordable and fashionable!

Annually the school holds an Open Day where all academic departments, student accommodation and other facilities are open, and staff and students are available to answer questions. This years open day will be held on:
Wednesday, 6th September
9.30am-3.30pm

Being an e-Mentor, I have also opted to be a volunteer during the open day. Not sure where exactly I will be during this event but I am sure that I will be able to answer your questions whether via this e-Mentoring blog or if your lucky enough we might actually meet in person on this day!

Best of luck and enjoy the Open Day.

MBA - best in the world!

To my delight I can proudly say and boast that the MBA staff at Glasgow University were just noted as the BEST, yes that's right, the BEST MBA teaching staff in the world!! If you ask me that is quiet an accomplishment and honor that they can and should boast about.

The results come from the Economist Intelligence Unit and based on some pretty diligent rankings, meeting a number of various thresholds, in addition to surveying the opinions of students (current and alumni).

In addition to having the BEST MBA academic staff in the world the Glasgow MBA program also jumped up in rankings moving over 18 places!!! ASTOUNDING!!!


This just goes to show how truly committed the school is to producing a high quality and caliber program. If you don't believe my post have a wee read over the article yourself.

Or to see where other schools rank in comparison you can also look the article on the Economist website

Off Campus Accomodations

Some students decide that the University Accomodations are not for them and opt to live in a private flat, or once their studies are done and they graduate the realize that its time to move out on their own and find a place to live.

To help with the search for flat hunting here are a few online resources that you can take a look at:

EasyRoomMate
FlatShare
FlatMate
Gumtree

All of these offer you the abililty to select the area you want to live and also how much you are willling to spend and if you want your own accomodations or shared accomodations.

Alternatively you can alway go through Letting Agents and I think one of the best way to find secert treasures to live in is to wander around the area you want to live and look for "for rent" signs in the windows!





hope that helps..
