Also boasting over 70 public parks, Glasgow, 'the Dear Green Place', is a pleasure to stroll around. The City is home to over 20 museums and art galleries which are free of charge, many of which are within easy walking distance of the campus and more than 200 other cultural organizations, including the Scottish Opera, Scottish Ballet, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and the world renowned Citizens Theatre.
Glasgow has the liveliest club, pub and live music scene in the UK outside of London.
Sport is an important part of the culture in Glasgow. Glasgow regularly hosts international sporting events and is gearing up to host the 2014 Commonwealth Games. The surrounding countryside offers excellent opportunities for the pursuit of outdoor sports such as sailing, cycling, golf, mountaineering and winter sports.
Glasgow’s shopping facilities are renowned as the best in the UK outside of London. Cosmopolitan cafés and restaurants complement the huge number of fashion retailers, designer outlets and speciality shops.
Glasgow International Airport has direct flight connections to many cities in the USA. A team of university representatives will greet you at the airport (semester 1 students). The airport is only seven miles west of the University, less than twenty minutes by airport bus or taxi.
