The Campus

The undergraduate room. Have a group meeting here or upstairs.

It’s a “real campus” in the sense that you’ll find everything you need to work, have fun, and meet people… (Except for the sport infrastructures that are located in Thornly park campus, 10 minutes by bus).

There are different types of class-room, with comfortable chairs !) no writing or chew gum on the tables or walls; the computers’ equipments are well connected to the projector and other devices (so no waste of time trying to set up cables…); air-conditioning and heating are all running correctly. It could sound basic but it’s not always the case everywhere. (Some class-rooms are not connected to the university wireless network. Smart decision to avoid entertainment activities on internet during the lectures).

A library on 3 levels (where you can read international newspapers, access to internet, scanning/printing documents). There are silent room and meeting rooms. Lots of books, articles … but some of them are sometimes very old… More than 20 year for a book on Marketing…

The Union

A cybercafé, the Student Link (where you can ask for administrative documents…) several “snack-bars” (yes there is no canteen only snack-bar where you can buy sandwiches, drinks, snacks, soup. And I haven’t seen microwaves…), the Employability Link (Pôle emploi au sein de l’université) and one which deserves well its finality ! Where you can meet people helping you to write your English resume (different from the French one) or a cover letter, to find a part-time job or a work placement (some ads are updated every week). At the beginning of the year, you attend a “work atelier” to create your CV, to prepare an interview and so on.

But most all: The UNION. It’s a special space dedicated to all the students. It’s located 1 block from the campus (20 sec from the library). During the day you can meet there with your friends or group members and discuss in large sofas , enjoying music and with one pint of Tennent’s (the beer of Glasgow), yeah right alcohol in a public place and moreover with students! SCANDAL!! Well not at all!! But remember “la modération a bien meilleur goût” .

Paisley Center

And during the night, (9PM to 3 AM) the Union is the place where lots of parties in Paisley take place. It’s a night-club with students and of course the appropriate security. The Union is open almost every nights (but I think it’s close on Sundays).
