    I was at this wonderful place for 4 of those 571 years, as a student who didn't have to pay fees, drank most of the maintenance grant, met my now wife, & became fascinated with Geography. Universities change lives, it's easy to forget what incredible places they are

    Hip Hip Hooray, it's our birthday today 🎉🎂🎈 The University of Glasgow is 571 years young!
