Every year it's the same. We have nearly six months of peace, then BANG! The flyposting starts up, removal vans pull up and we're back at the start of term with noisy students waking us up shouting in the street. There are loads of families in our street, so safe to assume we were all disrupted last night.

I live in a beautiful old tenement in glasgow...and every autumn it's the same shit. Is there anything that can be done and us there any point in contacting the university?

"But in the last three or four years there's been later licenses dished out, in venues near me and consequently massive increase in Footfall in my street, and drunken shit like throwing bottles and roaring at eachother"

This is another reason to contact the Council (as well as the University). Presuming these things work in a similar way in Scotland, the Council approve the later licenses and can take them away (or ask the venue owners to take action to reduce the problem) if it is causing problems in the local area.

YABU Its part and parcel of living in a student area, in my opinion student areas are far more vibrant than any others so the trade off is worth it.

ffs! the whole "they're students, its what they do" mentality really gets on my tits!

This. Students are adults (theoretically), they should fucking behave like it. It's repulsive.

I live in a student(ish) area, plenty of families too though. The few students ruin it for everyone. We've recently had some problems with PhD students - you'd think at least by then they'd have grown out of it, but no. Still partying two or three times midweek, then coming home slamming doors, shouting, waking the entire block up.
