Murano is my first choice, i know a girl there and she said they're lively and that's what i'm looking for! you applying to halls?
So many are saying this, it's making me nervous as to wether I'll land a place in Murano or not :/. I have an unconditional to make things further sucky.
I have just applied for the accommodation. 1st choice is Murano large flats ; 2nd Murano small flats ; 3rd QM and others are just random self-catered rooms. Are they going to tell me which room I got only after the exams?

If it's a conditional then yeah, they won't allocate you unless you are unconditional which will be when you get your results.
So far i've only got one offer (conditional from glasgow) and i'm still waiting to hear from the other four. I'm just wondering if i can only apply for accommodation when/if i've chosen Glasgow as my firm or insurance or can i apply now? The reason i'm asking this is because the uni's i'm still waiting to hear from won't get back to me until the very end of march and in case i choose to go to Glasgow i don't want to end up without accommodation.. Do you think it's possible that e.g. the Murano halls will be filled up quickly as they seem quite popular? (I'm an international student if that makes any difference?)
If you're living that far, you'll definitely land a place. Also, I phoned up the accommodation office today. They said that those wishing to live in QM/Cairncross singles should apply early whereas those applying for Murano needn't worry as much (1170 bed spaces). She also said that those with conditionals aren't disadvantaged as they try to divide it up so that... well, I'm not sure how exactly they do it. When you think about it, Uni's need to do a fair amount of predicting. I also asked her if people will end up in Blackfriars (due to oversubscription of Category A) etc., she said they aren't anticipating it.
So, I would say, you have nothing to worry about. But if you're sure about Glasgow, I would just firm it.

hahah totally!! sounds so good to me! what are you going to study?
are you choosing Murano as well? ooh it is so hard to choose between large and small flats.. I mean, it must sound pretty stupid, but it is kinda important
Yeah i'm putting Murano as my first choice! I think i'd prefer a large flat because then there's bound to be someone you'll get on with
hey there! im going to glasgow most probably next year ,to gsa actually for architecture...and im now checking for accomodation,what do you suggest me????im actually more conserned about the cost so i want sth cheap as possible...
Hey
Is GSA part of the university of glasgow? i'm applying to Murano, they're £98.99 a week i think that's the cheapest there is!
Just a quick question (sorry if it's already been mentioned/answered ) I have a conditional, but I want to check it out on the open day before applying, will this put me at a disadvantage?
Also, whats Murano like day to day? I have a fair idea of cairncross becuase of my sister, but not Murano, but I'm more inclined to go with latter because a higher chance of single, seems more sociable etc...

i've already applied for Murano large flats so if you need a party person as your neighbour you can easily write in additional information that you would like to be my neighbour i just remember you wrote earlier that you don't wanna live with non-sociable students anyways, I'm sure we all will have a great time in Murano

Well, depends where you're applying. If it's Murano, you'll be fine applying a little late, whereas, if it's Carincross single/QM - you wanna get your application in pronto. The accommodation office say it (a conditional) doesn't disadvantage you.
I don't have first hand experience, so I can't answer the second question. But Murano's certainly the more reputable one in terms of socializing, parties etc.
This has probably already been answered in some form, but - if I have an unconditional offer, and I firmed it, and I applied for housing last Friday - when should I be expecting to hear back?

This is a quote from the email you probably got: • Applications for accommodation from students who have accepted an Unconditional Firm offer of study for session 2012/2013 are processed from Mid-April onwards, thereafter usually on a weekly basis.

Yeah that's the same email I got, though I didn't get it until a few days after I'd sent off my application, so if she has just done it that might explain why she hasn't had the e-mail yet.

Hello Can someone tell me anything good/bad about Student Apartments?
Haven't been there myself, but from what I've heard.. It is on the university's doorstep! Literally two minutes, which is great. However, there is a big chance of you ending up in a twin room. And the social life seems to be not that great
