Student Accommodation in Glasgow
Student Accommodation
Glasgow is a city with a surprise around every corner, full of vibrant colour, art, culture, live music and great food. Its edgy blend of sophistication, style and fun pairs well with three world-class universities to create a university experience you won’t want to forget.
There are a variety of student accommodation options in Glasgow including both private and official university halls of residence. Official university halls of residence are owned and run by the university and usually include a range of different types of rooms including studios and en-suites. They tend to be located within walking distance of the university and are a good option for those wanting to live alongside fellow students.
Other options for Glasgow student accommodation include privately owned properties such as flats and houses which are usually fully furnished and provide a kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. These can be either shared or rented out as individual rooms. They can be more expensive than university halls of residence but they often have a range of facilities such as a gym, cinema room, on-site laundry and high-speed WiFi.

Another option is Hello Student who own a number of student residences across Glasgow including 333 Bath Street, George Street Apartments, Willowbank and the Glasgow Ballet School. They have a mix of modern and traditional buildings in the city centre and all offer a short walk to the university. They have a range of accommodation types including both studios and en-suites with costs starting from PS84 per week.
Apart from the physical aspects of accommodation, the cost and financial implications cannot be overlooked. Tuition fees and living expenses can place a significant burden on students and their families. It is crucial for students to carefully evaluate their budget and consider the affordability of different accommodation options. Shared accommodations, such as shared apartments or houses, offer a cost-effective solution as students can split the rent and utilities with their roommates. On the other hand, purpose-built student accommodations often come with a higher price tag, reflecting the additional amenities and services provided.
Whether you are choosing to stay in university halls of residence, private student accommodation or even a house share it is important that you take care of your belongings and make sure that you report any problems straight away. It is also a good idea to be aware of your surroundings and do not walk home alone late at night, especially if you are wearing headphones or listening to music. Always keep a phone on you and do not leave drinks unattended in pubs and clubs. If you are unsure about what to do if you lose your phone or have any other concerns then please talk to a trusted friend or contact a member of staff.
There is no need to worry about safety in the student accommodation in Glasgow as there are a number of security measures in place to ensure your wellbeing and that your belongings are safe and secure. There are CCTV cameras throughout the building and a manned reception area 24 hours a day.
