Buchanan View Hall- is it far away from everything??

I’m staying at Buchanan View for Strathclyde and it looks like it’s in the middle of no where like no shops, restaurants etc. I haven’t been near that area and on Google maps it looks like it’s made for cars more than it’s walkable. There’s no public transportation going anywhere in the city from there and it’s worrying for me as I don’t want to walk everywhere esp. at night.
Everything else about it is fine but it seems so isolating in comparison to other uni halls as it’s far away from any civilisation.
Has anyone who’s visited/lived there give me some reassurance about this place? I don’t like to be stuck in my room all the time and hate long distances too so I’m feeling very anxious about it

Yes, I've visited it but not stayed there.

It's cheek by jowel to the city centre with hundreds of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, with around 4 or 5 other private halls of residence that form a hub nearby. So not a desert.

You are 10-15 mins walk to cineworld, McDonald's, Pret, Boots, Pound land, Argos, a mainline station, the bus station...

According to Google maps about 11 mins walk to the University library so I don't think your legs will fall off. To put this in context, it's the same distance to campus than one of the Unis largest halls, Andrew Ure.

At this time of year, hundreds of Uni and college students call their accommodation services each week begging for accommodation. There are virtually no vacant rooms left near them when 50,000 or so students all arrive in the city at the same time.
