Glasgow Accomodation: Med/Dental

Where do all the medicine/dental students stay in their first year?
I've looked at Murano, and QM, of which neither fully appealed to me (especially the shower situation and distance from school/dental hospital), however, for the sake of having a social life, I've chosen to lower my expectations a wee bit.
Anyone else wondering where they're living.....?

Honestly one of the reasons I rejected Glasgow for medicine was the poor quality accommodation (at least in my opinion) and hearing poor reviews from others

I mean, they're all crap. Newcastle was a bit newer, Birmingham wasn't that great, King's was even smaller than the above mentioned, and Sheffield wasn't great. They're ALL bad, but I have no choice haha

Definitely true but I found Newcastle accommodation > Glasgow accommodation. I wouldn't say it's the best, but it's definitely the best of a bad situation. Have you firmed Glasgow?

Yep, but I'm kinda stuck on whether I should do Murano or Student Apartments. Parties are not allowed at student apartments, so I'm leaning towards Murano- purely from a social aspect, despite Student Apartments being 2 minutes from campus.

Yes mate, I'm from Newcastle anyway so I know what the night life is like but moving out is better for me financially. Is night life an important aspect for you?

You guys are kidding right?
Murano used to be so much worse than it is now (it's been done up a hell of a lot) and qm halls are really fancy.
They're only a 10 minute walk for anyone who's in reasonable shape
You have unrealistic expectations from what student halls are if you think they're sub par.
Qm halls are even en suite.
