Shops

Lots of shops. Cheap cell phone plan, which I ended up buying for an unlocked cell phone, data and minutes are good for travel across EU, and minutes are only counted towards outgoing calls, incoming calls are free.En savoir plus

Central Railway Station

This is where all the trains come in, easily walking distance to everything else, including the University.

This could be a Sunday thing... The music was actually really really good:

Lots of street performers, many wearing kilts. :)

Shopping mall

OK mall, with decent stores, and some American fast food places to eat if the Scottish food becomes a bit mundane. :)

Market
18 juin 2017, Écosse ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Market only Sundays 10am-5pm.
Update- closes at 4pm, found out when got there at 4:10 :( From the looks of it, it is a huge flea market. Might be a good Sunday outing, walking distance (~30 minutes) from the University.En savoir plus

Lunch

Interesting choices at McDonald's

Update- looks more interesting than it tastes. Will probably end up in McDonalds again, so will probably have a chance to try some other burgers...

Huge bus station near university
19 juin 2017, Écosse ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Terminus for Glasgow Airport Express bus. This is just a few blocks away from the University, either the residence or our class-room. This would be the easiest thing to do if you are arriving from the airport.En savoir plus

University residences
19 juin 2017, Écosse ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
Very peaceful and quiet. It's between semesters right now, so I would expect it to be like that in August as well.

According to the lady, the caf likely won't be open on August, but the pub will be. Grocery stores nearby with a few minute walk.

Residence
19 juin 2017, Écosse ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
These are some pictures of the inside of the residences. 4 rooms per "unit", all private, with a sink. Common kitchen & washrooms. The "units" are actually much nicer than what I expected, the photos don't give across the actual "look and feel" of the units. Complete with dining table, couches, etc.

The Kitchen is fully equipped, stove, fridge, microwave, dishes, etc etc.

The entire campus is covered by EduRoam, so you can just join it with your SFU credentials. So internet is not an issue.En savoir plus
