10 Gifs That Accurately Describe Being A Student At Glasgow Caledonian University

Glasgow Caledonian University, despite being small, is one of the most international universities in Scotland, and because of this it can often seem like there are a lot of differences between the students – we’ve all had our different experiences and get to share them with each other at University. On the other hand, however, there are definitely some experiences that we share together… and how better to articulate those all too relatable moments than with some gifs?

Arriving in Caledonian Court for the First Time

It doesn’t quite look how you expected it to… we know. But hey, at least it’s super close to the University, and the people you meet in Caledonian Court are worth putting up with the lack of couch or living room!

Preparing for your First Class

Yep, it’s pretty nerve-wracking. That’s the same wherever you go, whether you’re at Glasgow Caledonian University or Imperial College in London.

Waking up Late for Class and Trying to find the Right Building

Why are they numbered (or lettered) so badly! Who designed this system for naming the building and classrooms? “George Moore” – how am I supposed to remember which building that is?! Your only hope is swallowing your pride frantically messaging the class group chat for help… sometimes it really does come to desperate measures.

Running in to somebody from Glasgow University.

Excuse me, we aren’t friends. You can head right back over to the West End and leave the centre for those of us at Glasgow Caledonian University. (That said, some of them are actually a pretty cool bunch of people, so don’t be too fast to send them over to another table).

Trying to find a seat in the Library at ‘Peak Times’

If you’re planning on a group study sessions right around lunch time, I hate to break it to you, but you’re going to struggle. Just wait until exam season pops up, you’ve got no chance. Time to head up to floor 4… study session becomes ‘silent’ study session *sigh*.

Seeing your Lecturer on a Night Out

The only downside of living in a relatively small city, with one main city centre. If your lecturer decides to go on a night out, there’s a pretty high chance you’ll spot them in the club. Everyone at Glasgow Caledonian heads to the same bars and nightclubs… even the lecturers. Time to decide between running to the bathroom or trying your best to make drunk small-talk!

Trying to Make it to Your Room Without Seeing Anyone you Know After a Night Out

The thing about Caledonian Court is that you know everyone there. So that walk of shame back to your room in the morning really is quite terrifying… time to speed-walk into your building and just keep your fingers crossed that Jenny from your Monday morning class doesn’t spot you on her way out!

Why did they open that one at the bus station, it’s far to close to be safe! How am I supposed to avoid temptation like that?

Going to Every Class and Forgetting Your Student ID

What’s even the point of making it all the way to Uni, ready to go to every one of my classes today, if I can’t even scan in for my attendance. I might as well just go home!

And Finally… Making it to the End of the Year

It might feel like we constantly want to go home, but when it comes to actually leaving our uni friends behind after sitting through all those exams, we’d actually rather stay. I guess Glasgow Caledonian University really does start to feel like home.
