Glasgow Accomodation

Woo, applied
I went for QM as my top choice - even though it's expensive I want the bathroom, I want the bathroom
Rest were (in order): Murano Large flat, murano small flat, cairncross single, cairncross large single, student apartments single.
Haha it'll be so annoying if in August they offer me a twin room.

I was thinking of firming QM or CX. I like QM but it seems so far away.. do you know how much does the bus cost there? sorry, I'm not from Scotland

and congrats on ur offer

Hi! I got my unconditional offer from Glasgow about 1 week ago, but I'm still waiting for 3 other unis to reply. Is it true that I can't apply for accom. at Glasgow before I've recieved all my offers? Have people started applying/reciveing accom. offers already?

I've read through almost 50 pages here and people say good and bad( often very bad) stuff about some places. Could someone share some info about the halls? I've lived at boardingschool for 2 years and DO NOT want to share with someone! I'd also want self-catered since it's cheaper. If I have to choose between a loud place or quiet I'd choose the latter, but still I'd like to make friends and be sociable. I've looked at QM and I'm putting this as my first choice, but what to put next??
Looked at a flickr account someone linked to earlier and Victoria Hall and Maclay looked nice, Sauchiehall St = not to bad. Do these halls take undergrads?

Sorry for all the questions! Hope someone can help!

Unfortunately you have to wait until you have accepted an offer from Glasgow. I am going to Glasgow but like you am still waiting to hear back from other universities. In terms of what to go for I think you should maybe see the places first, are you going to the applicant's day?

I guess I'm choosing Murano the only problem is that I always wear high heels so it will be really hard walking to the university and back, but oh well.. i don't even have flats :/

haha I wouldn't recomend Murano if you only wear heels..it's on a massiveee hill and its pretty far from the uni. You should go for QM or CX.

Yeah, I read that part, too but it also says "computer cluster" and got a bit worried that internet access is available when using the pc cluster I would assume there's inet in every room, though especially considering the weekly rent

just heard that there is no cleaner in Murano small flats.. who cleans the toilet and shower then?? are we supposed to to this? i mean it's fine when you're the only one using it, but 5 people...

hey there!do you know if bills like electricity/water/heating is included in the price of rent per week?

Yeah, I also read there's no cleaning service in Murano's small flats, which is why this is my third choice. Also, you need to rethink your high heel policy if you are going to live there (you should probably have flats in your bag just for the hill) ... and call them hill flats or something

hill flats sounds really cute i should totally do that. my dad promised to be my "flats sponsor" as I will finally (in his opinion) wear proper shoes.

oh well, I guess I will clean everything myself then. I used to do it before I moved to the boarding school, so it is not a big deal, I just hope I'll end up with people who appreciate clean bathroom as much as I do

Oh Murano please be as sociable as everyone says you are!
It's the main and actually only reason I'm choosing it as I'm a little party animal myself

Does anyone know if people from different flats spend a lot of time with each other or is it more like an in-group/out-group situation? just don't wanna end up with boring neighbours

It's absolutely fine cleaning a shower and loo yourself even when it's been used by loads of people. I don't know about Murano cleaners but in second year you'll likely live in a flat with communal shower/bathroom and take it in turns to clean. Just put on rubber gloves and everything is possible.



Yes it is.
