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.

I'm really pleased for the whole time I spent at Willowbank, where I've been living for most of my uni years! The staffs are nice and it is really great how fast they could deal with any issue you would have (eg: when the light is out). Plus the location is great and close to the uni. The price is pretty reasonable if you consider everything included!

Amazing apartment and comfortable environment, all staffs very friendly!
Hello! We are overjoyed to hear you are settling in and enjoying yourself so far - here's to an exellent year with us!
I'm extremely pleased with Willowbank Accommodation. The staff there are incredibly warm and friendly. On my first day, they escorted me to my unit upon arrival. When I expressed dissatisfaction with the initial room, they promptly switched me to another one. Moreover, the prices here are quite reasonable, especially when compared to West End, West Village, and Vata — it's both affordable and great value. This place is a hidden gem of student housing, boasting a beautiful exterior. Plus, it's located in a residential area, ensuring a peaceful and quiet environment. I couldn't be happier.
Thank you for leaving such a positive review! - Happy that you are enjoying your home away from home!
Willowbank transportation is convenient, there is a bus stop in front and a subway station at the back door. Saver, Tesco and sainsburry are also nearby, a five-minute walk away. It is also close to the University of Glasgow. There are many residential buildings nearby, not facing the street, so the room is very quiet.
Thank you for leaving your Willowbank review, it is wonderful to read about your exprience with us! If there is anything we can work on please do get in touch on book@hellostudent.co.uk
The staff is friendly. The location is good and its close to the University of Glasgow.

Staff here are very friendly. This is the third time I’m staying in an accommodation with this company and I absolutely love it! 😊
Thank you so much for your 5* rating and leaving such a great review. It's amazing to hear that this is the third time living with us and that you're absolutely loving it - it makes us so happy to see this feedback!
The accommodation is actually great especially the interior design of the rooms and the staff are really catering, but the prices are INSANE. I know this is the trend with all student accommodations in the city, but that still doesn’t justify or explain it.
Hi there, thank you for reviewing your time at Willowbank. We are glad that you were able to make Willowbank your home away from home! We operate under something called "dynamic pricing," when rooms are first released, that will be the best price available for that apartment type. As demand increases for specific apartment types and more rooms are booked, our prices slowly increase to reflect this. If you'd like to discuss this further, please don't hesitate to email us at book@hellostudent.co.uk
The facilities here are quite good and the room is very comfortable. Besides, staffs here are all very friendly.
Thank you so much for your awesome review - we're so glad you're enjoying our facilities and finding your room comfortable :) The team will be delighted with your lovely comment too.
I don't remember whether I evaluated it in the right place before. I will evaluate it again. I like this apartment very much. The location is quiet, the staff are very friendly, and there are lovely cats！
Everyone is very friendly here and the location is perfect for uni and accessing both the centre and the West End. The building is lovely and I love my flat.
We’re so glad to hear that you’re enjoying living with us. Thanks again for leaving your feedback, it’s appreciated :)
As a Glasgow university student this is the perfect accommodation to be in. It’s so close to the university, supermarkets and great shops all over great western road.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us feedback :)
It’s pretty good with great management
We’re so glad to hear that you’re enjoying living with us. Thanks again for leaving your feedback, it’s appreciated.
Nice atmospehere, very welcoming staff, great location near university and restaurants.
Many thanks for the good rating. If there’s anything we can do to improve your living experience, please let us know.
This review just stands for me. The staffs are nice and gentle. But overall, the accommodation suits someone but not for me for the following reasons. Firstly, they increase the price from 155 to 168 pounds per week during covid, which though was normal at that time but still, imposed an additional financial burden on students. Secondly, whenever you need help which can not be solved by emial, you can not find any staff at the reception. And it often costs you more than 30 minutes to wait then they showed up. Secondly, it only allowed students to collect parcel until 4 pm, and when you go downstairs and ask if I can collect the urgent parcel before 4 pm, it would not be allowed. Thirdly, the staffs sometimes clean the building or do their job with loud music which has been complained about by lots of residents. But they always ignore the complaint. I believed all the staff tried to do their best and enjoyed their works. I think it would be better if they can improve a bit.
A nice accomodation to stay as a student, especially in such difficult time. The staff has been helpful in terms of keeping the common areas clean and tidy, while helping out student with their needs. I really appreciate the view of the large window and the quiteness which you don't really get in a lot of student halls.
Willowbank is really good. I’m enjoying spending my time here. The social specs are great specially the cinema room as you can take your own laptop and plug in etc and watch whatever you like.
High end student accommodation in Glasgow
Willowbank is very luxurious accommodation. It is set within the West End of Glasgow and close to shops/cafes/bars. The social spaces are lovely. Theres a very large common room, gym, laundry and study rooms. It is a very quiet site which is very hard to find. I would recommend highly.
High end student accommodation. Rooms are nice and bright and finished to a high standard. Facilities are great. The common room offers ping pong and fooseball alongside plenty of chill sofas and chairs. The gym is of a good size and has plenty of equipment to use for a full workout. Best part is how close it is to university as you only need to allow a 5 min walk in the morning.
This is a lovely accommodation close to Glasgow University and a short walk into the city centre. There is also a subway station for quickness which is a 5 minute walk away. The rooms are spacious and the amenities are great! However it is the staff that are the selling point of this accommodation. They are always so friendly and will take the time to chat to you everyday and make you feel like you’re at home. I couldn’t recommend this enough!
Accomodation was great really Enjoyed my time here. Everyone was friendly.
Modern and comfortable accommodation.
Perfect student accommodation, clean and with all the amenities you would want and more.
Fantastic accommodation and friendly staff.
Great accommodation with plenty of amenities nearby!
Loved my time here. Very handy for glasgow uni
I have really enjoyed my time here so far, the staff are lovely and will help with anything you may need.
Luxury halls in a well sought after area in Glasgow.
Quiet site not for you if you like to party but if you’re a mature student it would be ideal. Staff are all very accommodating and very pleasant
Accommodation great, very high end and close to uni and town
Thank you Willowbank for my lovely time here.
Great halls of residence. Feels more like apartments than typical halls. Well designed interiors and nice finishes. Would recommend.
A hall doesn't exist. Even if it does, no one knows about it
