The location is great as George Square is right across the street. The team members are genuinely kind and supportive. Julia, in particular, helps me a lot with my room allocation and never hesitates to offer a hand. Overall, my living experience here is fantastic and I would certainly recommend it.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

Very nice reception team, and perfect location, but the lift broke down from time to time
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's great to hear you found our reception team to be nice and friendly and that the property is in a good location for your studies. However we hope the issues with the lifts didn't impact your stay with us and this is something we will feed back to the property. Student Roost
I only moved in here for one year, but the experience has been incredible! All the staff are lovely, and always ready and willing to help whenever needed. The reception is also 24/7, so there is always someone on site to make sure everything is ok. The rooms are big and really well equipped, and the location is basically right across the street from the university campus. Overall an amazing experience, miles ahead of any other accommodation I have previously stayed in, and one that I would highly recommend to anyone.
Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your wonderful comments! I'm so glad to hear you are enjoying your time with us and wish you all the best for the future. Student Roost
Very excellent location next to the main campus, and just 5 minutes walk to the main library. 24/7 nice reception, you can pick up the parcel whenever you like and people are friendly here. There are washing machine, microwave and large refrigerators in the room. I would say there are no drawbacks to this accommodation except that it is a little expensive.

The staffs here on weekdays are super nice. The location is great, very close to the uni and supermarkets. Wifi is great too.
great staff very friendly and nice
Pros: Very friendly and responsive management staff. Literally beside informatics forum so only a 5 minutes' walk to campus. Great cleaning and maintenance team. Cons: On the expensive side. Not much social space and experience inside the accommodation. (I don't mind though) Neutral: Internet speed generally fast but the wifi is a bit shaky sometimes.
Great location and friendly staff.
I really enjoy staying here. The staff is very helpful and I love my flat.

I would like to have a larger common room for social events.

We're always looking at ways we can develop and improve the experience for all of our students so please be assured we will look at this and discuss how we can make some developments in our social space.

The only criticisms I really have is that the internet can be spotty and there's nothing wrong with a coffeemaker in the common room.
Hi, Thank you for sharing your comments. It's great to know that overall you enjoy living with us here at Lady Nic, and we would also like to take the opportunity to thank you for your constructive comments. Wifi is an extremely important basic for us and something we monitor reguarly to ensure we are continually providing high speed internet as standard. With no current open issues with WiFi we are aware of we do always ask our students to report problems at reception so we can log and investigate with our provider. If this is something you are finding problems with please do come and see us so we can look into further. Thanks again for your review, The Lady Nic Team
The team here are so personable and always go out of their way to make you feel “at home”. Always greated with a smile and happy face. They often do very good social events and will often put out some nice treats for us to enjoy! They will always cheer me up and I look forward to interacting with them when Iv has a stressful day. Not only the front of house team but the maintenance and cleaning team will always on the ball and help out whenever they can! No job too much effort.
Hi! Thanks so much for your review! Lovely to read your comments and we're delighted you enjoy calling Lady Nic your home! Thank you, The Lady Nic team :)
