Do you think Glasgow is one of the best-dressed universities in the UK? As the only Scottish university in the final six selected for the title of New Look's Best Dressed University - and currently in the lead - Glasgow's style savvy students need you to vote for them on Facebook to ensure they bag the title, and bring the free gig by Alphabeat to the QMU.

Undoubtedly, Glasgow is one of the most culturally diverse cities in Britain. We have Students from all over the world coming to study here and each one brings with them a unique culture and background. As you might expect this means the students who live and work in Glasgow have a diverse scope of style. Are you one of them? From the results of the competition so far, this union of demographics definitely seems to be working for the students involved.

Even the infamous weather of Glasgow does little to hinder the fashion forward. No matter what the day has in store there is always some amazing style to be spotted when out and about in the city. As Masters student & Glasgow's campaign organiser Jamie Denniston says, "The early mornings, horrible wind and rain doesn't seem to stop Glasgow's finest turning up to uni looking really good."


Appearing not to be not slaves to seasonal trends, the students of Glasgow have a reputation for thinking outside the box and creating their own style. "Glasgow University students are more than willing to experiment with new styles and ideas," says Jamie, "and that's what makes it very exciting." And as things stand, the best in Britain.
