Personal comments
Avoid Jumping Jaks like the plague, although it can be tempting with the a free bus to take you there and free champagne at the door. But its trashy as hell. For clubs: I like ABC (good indie gigs, good music, huge venue) on Suchiehall St. especially on Thursdays/Fridays, Buff Club (good DJ's, great atmosphere)on Suchiehall Lane specially on a Sunday, Art School on Renfrew St. for very cheap Saturday nights, and of course the Strathclyde Union (great theme nights, so close). The Garage is good for a drunk cheesy laugh, especially on Sunday/Monday nights. Use Be-lo in moderation...there's a lot of shady people there and the scene can get old. But good on a Wednesday. Basically you could go out every night and have an amazing time. Be sure to check out Ashton Lane in W. End too...like Wodka Vodka. For PUBS: Nice n'Sleazy's has great open mic nights on Mondays. I also really like Bunker, Revolution, 13th Note, Bloc, Kushion, Stavka, Underworld. Check them out. Very good night.

Every Wednesday there is an International Students night organized by the University and where you go to a different Pub each week and after to a club! Its nice and it gives you the chance to meet new people. BLo, Cube or Garage are good

Personal comments
I didn't like some teachers who, didn't have any consideration of the particular situation of a foreign language speaker exchange student. Besides, I believe some teachers should base their teaching more on direct dialogue with the students than among students themselves, especially in case of a topic the students hear for first time.
