My nephew might be coming to do a 3 year course in computer something or other at Paisley University...
How easy is it to get to and from Glasgow City Centre / Southside from there?

I know Paisley has a train station, and I know that the trains don’t run very late at night, so folk end up getting the bus. That’s about the extent of my knowledge.

Dead easy train from Central Station to Gilmore street then 5 minute walk. Biggest problem when I was there was the union was between the train station and the uni however I think thats changed.
Trains run till a decent time.

Well, it's either Stafford University, University of Abertay, or Paisley.
Paisley means he comes to live with me........ apparently.

I stayed on the Southside and went to Paisley and its not as bad as some people claimed it was. Bus into city centre and then either the train to Gilmour Street or the no 9 to drop him off right outside the uni. Bus doesn't take that long. At rush hour the most it took me was 40 minutes.

no.9 bus straight into paisley from union st, very frequent during the day, although the train would probably be easier during the day, and every half hour(ish) at night. | |

ha ha - aye there's a really regular service from the upper level in central right into Gilmour St. Some stop between cetral and paisley some don't.
the union is now right next to the uni apparently
computing stuff at paisley has quite a good name too.
