Well done getting your results :smile:

And is accommodation only available to students in their first year of study? Or is it possible to commute for the first year and gain accommodation in the second year?

Hi @a053,

Unfortunately we cannot guarantee accommodation for returning students as we have to give priority to students who are new to the University and Glasgow. If spaces do become available during the allocations process we should be able to offer them to returners so it would definitely be advisable to get an application in early and we can let you know once we have a better idea of numbers and availability.

Best wishes,

Alexander

Hi,

Just thought we'd chirp up as we offer student accommodation for all students, literally a stone's throw away from University of Glasgow. Take a look at our Gibson Street property and find out more about living with Student Roost.

Get in touch if you'd like to arrange a tour or go ahead with your booking online. We'd love you to stay!

Hi, I'll be hopefully going to the university of Glasgow this September and moving in together with my boyfriend, but we've had a hard time finding a nice place in the location for 2, but there's plenty for 3 people and even 4. So what I'm asking is, Is anyone looking to share a flat with a couple? Far shoot, but I reckon it's worth a try.

Hi, I'm an EU student and my conditional offer became an unconditional offer about two weeks ago and I still haven't received an offer for an accomodation. I'm sorry to bother but I wanted to ask If you know when the offers will be sent. Thank you

Hi @a053

Yes, if you were to collect your keys and move in to your residence you would be liable for the full years fees so it would be best to consider whether staying in accommodation is something that is right for you before taking on the contract.

There is a way where, if you found another University of Glasgow student of the same gender and year of study who was not already in accommodation, you could transfer the contract but this would be risky as you would be relying on finding a suitable replacement.

And upon accepting my offer of accommodation, what are my cancellation rights? As in, do I receive my deposit back if I cancel within 14 days, is that correct? And how would you go about cancelling?

Hi @tstar18

Well done getting in to Engineering :smile:

It would really just depend on which residences you like the look of. Most of our halls are within 20 minutes’ walk of the main University campus and are also close to good transport links so getting around shouldn’t be an issue. Pricing is also the same across the halls so you would just need to consider what each residence has on offer and if it suits your requirements. For more information on all of our residences please see the links below and hopefully this will help in your decision.

Self-catered residences

•

Cairncross House

•

Kelvinhaugh Gate

•

•

Queen Margaret Residences

•

Student Apartments

•

Catered residence

•

If you would like to see more images of the residences, including 3D images of bedrooms, you can also check out our Flickr page.

Hope this helps but if you have any other questions please let us know.

Hi, not sure whether you've already booked your accommodation but have you considered Student Roost in Glasgow? We offer dual occupancy in many of our studios, so you'd be able to share a room but also split the rent (which already includes WiFi and all bills!).

Get in touch if you'd like to book, rooms are filling fast!

Hello, I was just wondering if the rooms within Kelvinhaugh Gate halls are allocated on a first come first served basis, or whether the rooms are allocated randomly?

Is there a reason why the rental contracts for student rooms wants you to arrive the Saturday before freshers week? Will there already be activities over the weekend or is it supposed to give you time to settle into your accompdation? Will you be disadvantaged if you arrive later? Like getting the « worst » room in a flat?
