A GCU Student’s Guide to Suiting Up

This weekend’s Sports Ball marks the start of ball season at GCU and there’s no doubt that a lot of you have left getting your outfit to the last minute.

With a three course meal, drinking and ceilidh dancing involved getting something affordable but still stylish is essential.

We took a trip to Primark Sauchiehall Street to see the best buys for this year’s balls that are available right now!
