Sorry, I guess that, as an American, I find these things novel and fascinating.

heh, I'm starting my masters at the University of Glasgow in September! I love the crest as well. When I got my offer, they even sent me a little lapel pin of it
.
when I was living in Belfast, the "college" thing threw me off so much! I'd tell people I'm in college, and then have to tell them that it means university. They didn't get the majors thing either until I reexplained it. The school uniforms thing blew their minds too. When I told them that I could wear whatever I wanted every single day, they were SHOCKED. They actually prefer their uniforms, and take great pride in their blazers (the trim and stitching denotes ranks and awards...it's like a varsity jacket).
and it reminds me of Hogwarts as well..the university is 557 years old, second oldest in Scotland (after St. Andrews...there's a GC'er who goes there as well)...the main building is beautiful, and it houses the oldest museum in Scotland.
From far away:
Commencement hall
More uni buildings
