Alpacas pay a visit to Glasgow Caley Uni to help students de-stress during exams

Students at Glasgow Caledonian University were treated to the ultimate exam stress buster yesterday at the campus in the city centre – a visit from a herd of furry alpacas!

With the exam diet in full swing, students were encouraged to take a break from studying to meet Octavius, Spirit, Lord Farquaad and Dorrach from Netherfield Alpaca Trekking.

And they turned out in their hundreds to see the fluffy ‘therapets’ - who were only too willing to pose for selfies as well as dish out hugs and good vibes.

Here's where Glasgow, Strathclyde and Glasgow Caledonian rank in the University League Tables 2020  

Student Events Coordinator and event organiser Jessica Walker was delighted with the success of the event. She said; “We ran this event last year and had such positive feedback - the students couldn’t wait for the alpacas to come back.

"Exam time can be so stressful so an event like this is a great way for students to take their mind of things.”

Earlier today, the university was ranked 77th among the UK's 131 universities in The University League Tables for 2020, up eight places from last year's rankings.
