Glasgow Accomodation

Well, it's unlikely that you'll get stabbed 4DALULZ, if that's your concern.

Also, to my understanding, Murano isn't actually in Maryhill. Although, you would find yourself passing through it. Having said that, you'd be one of 1170 students doing so.

And, meh, I live in an area which has a reputation akin to Maryhill's.

Nothing ever actually happens.

lol so true. I walk to murano sometimes at like 4am phised out my head and no one has ever started on me. Theres a 24 hour mcdonalds just down the road which is always good.

I have a question:

As far as I understand you are only allowed to apply for accommodation at the university you chose as a 'firm' choice. I have conditionals from both St Andrews and Glasgow uni and I'm thinking of picking St Andrews as 'firm' and Glasgow as 'insurance'. However, there's very little chance of me actually fulfilling the requirements that St Andrews sent me. So if I fail to meet them does it mean that I won't be able to get accommodation at Glasgow? I'm not from the UK and I'll only know my exam results in late June, way after the deadline.

You can apply once it becomes your firm (so in this case if you fail to get St Andrews on results day Glasgow would become your firm). I think the FINAL deadline for accommodation is end of August time (I had to apply end of August the year I applied because of results etc.) it just means you're less likely to get good accommodation you want!

I might be arriving in Glasgow on Sep 7th, which is a Saturday, so I was wondering if I could still pick up my room keys from somewhere?

Surely that's the day Freshers starts? Therefore yes you will have a room unless your contract explicitly states otherwise!

Thanks greeneyedgirl!

P.S. "Please rate some other members before rating this member again."

Will there be a big problem if I come on Sep 6th, not 7th? Will I be able to move into my actual room?

So I'll have to wait for a long time to find out as I hold a conditional offer and won't know my results until mid-June... Thanks anyway!

Applied for accommodation tonight, Murano large flat is my 1st choice!

Good luck!
