Glasgow Accomodation

Scroll to see replies

Applied for accommodation just now. 1st Queen Mary, 2 Murano large 3. Murano small. The rest were just random. Is it common to get a place on the bottom of your list or do they just put most of us in Murano? :smile:

That's pretty much identical to my selection except I put the Murano small flat before the large lol.

I think most people will get their top 3 or 4. When I went to uni first time round I ended up with something that wasn't even one of my choices. That's because I failed to meet my conditional offer and had to wait a fortnight till the A level results came out to know if I still had a place. They put your to the bottom of the list in that instance regardless of how early you applied.

I thought about putting Murano small first, but having to clean the showers/bathrooms and common area yourself wasn't tempting :P Already did that at boarding school, don't want to do it at uni too :smile:

Hope I get one of the top 3, didn't really put much thought into the others.. :P

Hmm didn't realise the flats don't have cleaners come in, oh well, it's not too bad. I'm kinda hoping to get into QM, but at the end of the day I guess it really doesn't matter.

What are you going to study?

Well, there are only 4-5 people in the small flats so there can't be that much to clean. :smile:

Hoping for QM too, private bathroom would be great :biggrin:

Studying psychology, what about you?

Yeah, tbh I used to share a flat with 8 people it's not as bad as some people might think.

History and Archaeology for me :biggrin:

Can't wait, not sure what to take as my 3rd option yet though.

Just firmed Glasgow ahhh so exciting Though I'm really stuck on where to go for accomodation. I loved Queen Margaret and really want an ensuite but the extra price is putting me off Can't decide whether it's worth it. Wasn't as keen on Murano though I think it seems more social and I'd probably meet more people. Does anyone know anything about Cairncross? Like how far is it from the uni and what are the rooms/common rooms like etc?

Firmed Glasgow a couple of days ago, waiting 72 hours before doing accommodation is annoying though :tongue:

I'm probably going to put Murano as my first choice simply because it's the cheapest (I am no way having a shared room! haha) and I'm not that fussed about having an en-suite, but I am slightly concerned that there is no cleaner for the bathrooms for either the large or small flat??!!
Can't choose between small and large flat either, anyone any advice? I wouldn't mind a 6 people flat, but 4 seems too small and anything over 10 seems a bit big :/

Can somebody help tell me which halls are best for Dental students? It's a pain that the dental school is in the city centre!

Are you sure? Isn't there a cleaner for the large flats? I went to the applicants day on Tuesday, and the tour guide (of Murano) confirmed it.

On the website it says weekly kitchen cleaner for the large flat :/ it doesn't say anything about a bathroom cleaner so I assumed there wouldn't be one, unless its sort of given that there is one? :eek:

Edit: Just read FAQs and you get a cleaner for kitchen, toilets, showers and corridors in large flat :tongue:

pretty much made up my mind!

I'll probably arrive a bit late, so do you know if I can I pick up my room keys at like 10-11pm? :smile:

yeah I'm having trouble deciding between large and small but the fact that the large flats have a cleaner is definitely making them seen more attractive. Are there any other big differences between the large and small flats? apart from the size obviously :rolleyes:
