Re: Glasgow AccomodationHmm 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.(Original post by Soli123)
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
Hope I get one of the top 3, didn't really put much thought into the others.. :P
What are you going to study? -
Re: Glasgow AccomodationWell, there are only 4-5 people in the small flats so there can't be that much to clean.(Original post by Jamin)

Hoping for QM too, private bathroom would be great
Studying psychology, what about you? -
Re: Glasgow AccomodationYeah, tbh I used to share a flat with 8 people it's not as bad as some people might think.(Original post by Soli123)

History and Archaeology for me
Can't wait, not sure what to take as my 3rd option yet though.

Re: Glasgow AccomodationOh, right!(Original post by Jamin)
From what I can tell you choose three subjects to study in the first year.
Well I guess you have some time to decide

Re: Glasgow Accomodation
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?

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

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 :/ -
Re: Glasgow AccomodationAre 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.(Original post by Josiea)

Re: Glasgow Accomodation(Original post by Tara I)
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?
Edit: Just read FAQs and you get a cleaner for kitchen, toilets, showers and corridors in large flat
pretty much made up my mind!

Re: Glasgow Accomodationyeah 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(Original post by Josiea)

Re: Glasgow AccomodationI put large in the end just because they get a bathroom cleaner(Original post by Ju_Dragonslayer)

also you get given bin bags in big flats haha..
A large flat will probably be louder
but more sociable I think

Re: Glasgow Accomodation
Hey! I accepted glasgow last week and am in the process of applying for accommodation. I was going to go with QM for my first choice but worked out that I wouldn't be able to afford it so gonna have to go with Murano. What I don't know what to choose, is large or small flats? I was thinking large but when I went to the applicant's day, the person guiding us said those in large flats have to share a kitchen exactly the same size as the one for the small flats. Not keen on sharing even less cupboard space, so is this actually true before I but down small as my first choice. Also, how much less sociable are the small flats than the large ones really? Thanks!
