A question about Glasgow?

I'm 18 and have lived in Glasgow my whole life. No matter where in the world you are you will always come across dodgy folk but in all honesty I always feel safe in Glasgow. Of course there are the more dangerous areas but as long as you keep out them you will be absolutely fine. More often than not, neds will annoy you (playing loud music on the bus, maybe making a joke at your expense when you p them, skipping you in the cinema queue) but very infrequently will you encounter someone who is going to cause serious harm. Just keep your head down and keep out of their way. A few times I've come across weird, old drunk people but to be completely honest they have never bothered me, they are just up for a chat and a laugh. The English accent will not be a problem, the whole Scotland v England "rivalry" isn't very common. Caley is a great uni and I think you will be happy there. If you are not keen on living in the city centre you could live in the suburbs (for example Bishopbriggs - 8 minute train ride from city).
