University of Glasgow Accommodation - Official Q&A

Hello, I put an application for accommodation in 6 days ago and am currently awaiting an offer. However due to unforeseen circumstances I had previously made 2 different applications and withdrawn them within a day or two of the application. I never received an offer from my previous applications so I just wanted to check and see if that would cause an issue with my offer of accommodation. Also I was wondering if I am guaranteed one of the 6 choices I ranked on the application or if it is possible I will receive an offer for a different accommodation that I did not list. Thanks for your answer in advance!

Hi @getaclucy

Applications for 2017/2018 are not opened yet so not sure about your recent application coming to our office. If you DM your Student ID I can check this for you.

We can not guarantee that you will receive an offer for your top 6 choices but if you apply early you are most likely to get one. For students who apply late, closer to the 22nd August deadline it is more likely that they may receive an offer for a hall which was not one of their top choices. It all depends on your preferred halls and whether there are still places available. Rooms are allocated on a first come first served basis so applying early is the best advice!

Hello

I would like to reapply for University accommodation for my second year, and i am a first year student currently residing in University accommodation.

As the other person was able to get an application in, how do i go about submitting an application before the opening?

Also, if i am not allowed to pursue that action, when we will the Accommodation offers open for the 2017-18 academic year?

Thank You.

Hi,
I recently received a conditional offer to study International Business and Entrepreneurship from Adam Smith Business School. I am an international student and am quite confused about 39- vs 52-weeks contract. Under what circumstances would one choose one over the other?

Hi there,
Just wondering if any students from Glasgow itself are ever offered accommodation by the university? I know people who are within easy commuting distance are the last priority but was just wondering if they are allocated rooms if there's some available and everyone else is sorted?
Thanks

When are 2017/18 accommodation applications open?

I notice that Kelvinhaugh Gate and Queen Margaret Residence are described as being managed in partnership with Sanctuary Housing Association. Could you tell me please what that means in practice? Do people other than students also live there? Thank you.

Hey there,

I actually applied, received, and accepted my Glasgow offer last school year, but had to defer my entry which means I would be starting in September this year. I know you should apply for accommodation as soon as you accept your offer, but I haven't received an email about it yet. Does that mean that its already to late, or do I just need to wait until the May or results day?

Thanks!
