Hi there!

When applying for accommodation, you are allowed to choose from a mix of room types and residences and express your preferences. For first year undergraduates, you get 6 preference choices. If Wolfson if your most preferred choice, you can express this. However, they cannot guarantee which accommodation you will be offered due to the limited availability. So you may not end up with your first choice.

For first year accommodation, there is typically a guarantee for getting a place (in one of your preferred choices) in most cases. However, you need to meet the minimum guarantee criteria (new to study at the UofG; and your accommodation application is received by the deadline; and you met your conditions of entry with your status when applying being an Unconditional Firm; and you are a full-year student). There is also a criteria for when you would not be guaranteed a place (e.g. if you live within 1hr commuting distance etc.) I encourage that you ensure the deadlines/conditions line up for you before applying.

Best of luck with everything!

I cannot find Wolfson in the accomodation website. Do you know what happened? Thanks.

I've just inquired this with accommodation services for you. Unfortunately, Wolfson Hall will be closing down this year and is not available for students as part of their accommodation profiles anymore.

Best,

Thank you for your help. Do you know which residence would be near vet school? Do they have school bus/ shuttle that goes to vet school?

You're very welcome.

As for the vet school, the closest available accommodations (out of the ones in the residence profiles) would be Queen Margaret and Winton Drive which are next to each other. However these are still approx. 35 min walk and 14 min drive or 25 min bus ride away from the vet school. If you are someone who enjoys walking, it isn't too bad of a walk, however it isn't close.

The vet school is near Wolfson Hall which is in the Garscube campus. There is some useful information here about commuting to Garscube that you might find handy: https://www.gla.ac.uk/myglasgow/sustainability/travel/traveltogarscubecampus/#

As far as I am aware, the university does not provide a shuttle to the vet school. However, if you are concerned about it (for accessibility reasons, for instance), it might be worth reaching out to the vet school directly or even admissions who could put you in touch with the relevant people.

Hope this helps a little, let me know if you have any further questions! 🙂

Yes I just heard about this as well, so confused. Apparently the building was built out of RAAC so they were worried about safety. Im putting queen margaret as my number 1 how about you?

Yes, will put it as first choice. Any other residence will you consider? The others seem a bit far away.
