Most helpful review

IQ Elgin place is one of the best Central location to live in Glasgow. It's very ear to Glasgow School Of Arts but still central and walking distance for University of Glasgow, Glasgow Caledonian University and Strathclyde University. The staff t Elgin place is amazing, very cooperative and always somebody is their to respond to your needs... Over all cleaniness is amazing but shared social space with your flat mate can be a nightmare if you have a messy flatmate as all cleaning responsibilities are on you including bringing in the cleaning supplies and bin bags which only makes it a bit of an issue... Cost of the place is a bit high, but in return you gave loads of amazing social events and a 24/7 gym available.

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.

Student Review: 4 /5
By member6120940 On 19th October 24 verified Verified student

Great price for the room, but nor so great for the location(it's a bit far from the university) but the rooms re amazing! Great services as well. I've had a couple issues for broken fridge and broken exhaust fan, and IQ Elgin solved that within a day! The price is a bit more expensive than other accommodation but the serivces are great.

We're a lot of problems because it was a new build etc but by halfway through they had mostly been fixed and was running well. A bit expensive for what it is but enjoyed living there.
