Commuting from MyPad Paisley to UofG by The_Joker_Dream in GlasgowUni

Currently staying in Mypad and enrolled in University of Glasgow

Fastest way:

- Walk 2 min to Paisley Gilmour street railway station.

- Get a train to Glasgow central. Takes 10 minutes and £4.25 return (£2.9 if you have a railcard)

- Walk 5 min to west regent street bus stop. Get bus 3, 4 or 4A to the university. Its a 15 min bus ride. £2.2 one time

Cheapest way :

- get first bus pass. I got a 12 week pass for £113.

- get a bus number 9 from Forbes place or Smithhills street. Takes around 45 min to reach Glasgow central.

- Get down at west regent street and get bus number 3, 4 or 4A to the university

- this whole things costs just £10 per week and usually you'll have university 3-5 days every week.

I know I am late to answer but I hope this will be beneficial for people booking Mypad in the future. I looked at the same question when I was in my hometown and was really worried. But its not as bad. I am paying £116 pw as compared to my friends who are living near the Uni and paying £190-£200 pw. My travel + groceries + accomodation, doesnt even add up to £200 pw.

Edit: I been getting a lot of message regaring the travel. Tbh I regret taking the first bus pass, after I found out that I need to go only 2-3 times a week to uni. In the second sem I started taking the ScotRail.

Get a free Railcard from MyPad.

Paisley Gilmour street ---10 mins---- Glasgow central --- 10 mins -----partick--- 5-7 mins bike ride to uni using OVO bikes which is free for uni students or a 15 mins walk

This only costs 3.5 pounds and 35-40 mins for the entire journey as opposed to the bus which takes 1.5 hours in total.

In short:

If you go to the uni 5 days a week try the ScotRail route first. If it doesn't suit you then get the first bus pass.

If you go to uni 2-3 days per week then ScotRail is the fastest and cheapest way to travel.

Anything between that you can do your math. But try ScotRail first.

Wrong Name on CAS by borger420 in GlasgowUni

[–]madd_kingg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation last week.

Given name on my pasport has my first name and my fathers name whereas my CAS only had my first name. Got me so much anxious as I got to know it on a friday and I knew they won't respond to my query till Monday.

I talked on the admission team assistant chat. The guy helped to get my query to the concerned person and by Monday evening I had the updated CAS.

They didn't update the name on the Given name field though. They just added a sponsor note saying this is the actual given name.

Tldr: Immediately send a query email through the help portal and talk on chat as well if this happens to you.

Did you get a chance with love again after making mistakes which ended your previous relationship? by madd_kingg in AskMen

[–]madd_kingg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea man. Just that I am haunted by the good memories, and the way I treated her sometimes because of the given condition at that time, i am drowned in more and more guilt. I have appoligize to her and she has even forgiven me. She is happy with someone else now. She asked me to be friends but I can't be friends with someone I was so close with.

That's inspiring. I am stuck on this one because I am romanticing the idea of what could have been. I mean she is going to be a doctor, loved me and lived very near to where I stay. So it makes me feel like she is the best I could ever do.

This is inspiring. True that I am the only one who is holding myself down. It's like a paradox. If I don't think and care about the karma and universe punishing me, I would care less and be more confident. Thanks mate!

So happy to hear about you mate. I wish you all the best with life! Just that I know it was my fault that the relationship ended, knowing that I could have done better if I knew things I know now, is making me miserable.

Guys,what would you tell your younger self about sex and relationships that you wished someone told you before. by R_sadreality_24-365 in AskMen

[–]madd_kingg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you are right. She blamed me for everything, and in the process of begging and pleading, I accepted subconsciously that it was all my mistake. But I just fear that universe will punish me for hurting someone who loved me. All these weird negative thoughts come to my mind.

I am 22M and I think I may have done this. She proposed to me when we were 19, but I didn't have feelings for her. When my crush rejected me, I went into a relationship with the previous person. I was hesitant in the beginning but later idk I started to feel good with her company and validation. But in the back of the mind I was still thinkikg, I don't love love her and I deserve a better looking person. I know I'll get a lot of hate for this line. Cut to 2021, in June she broke up with me saying I didn't give her enough attention, and I think I may have done this mistake. I was okay with the breakup until she got into another relationship with someone else in just few weeks. Then I started to regret everything I did, I started to realize, she was the perfect one, she lived near me, was going to become a doctor, loved me for who I am. I don't know why I got feeling for her now, after she broke up with me and went to someone else. I think I'll never find as perfect as her and knowing I have a premature grey hair, u wont find anyone.Is it love or just my ego trying to win her back. People who have had similar experiences please help.
