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.

It takes nearly an hour to walk to the school from here, and at least half an hour either by train or metro or cycling, which is very inconvenient.

The accommodation is sparkling clean at all times, has a great common room with lots of space, vending machines, microwaves, and games like foosball (2), snooker (1) and table tennis(1). It also has a large TV and comfortable cushions, and a printer (pay and use). The laundry room is clean but the cost of laundry is comparatively higher. The study room is huge and has lots of tables and comfortable seating. The accommodation also has a cinema room which can be rented out and used by the tenants. Most of the property staff are friendly and helpful. En suite rooms are small but well structured and have lots of cupboards and cabinets, and even picture frames. Ensuite bathrooms have larger cubicles compared to other accommodations. Shared kitchens are of different sizes based on their location and do not have a kettle or toaster but do have a microwave and a TV. The Studio rooms are quite small for the price and are situated pretty far away from the elevators.

Probably the best student accommodation in Glasgow for the price. En suites are premium, and kitchen areas are spacious. Common rooms, study rooms and the cinema room are amazing. Studios are meh though. The staff is mostly helpful and you get lots of goodies now and then.

This accommodation is wonderful. The location is quite good. As a Chinese, I think it is quite nice to live near the Chinese and British supermarket, because it is very convenient. Besides, the customer representatives are all veryyyyyy nice and helpful especially Jonny😊😊. I definitely recommend you to choose this student accommodation to stay.

I am a postgraduate student from China. Due to the COVID-19, this year of study has been spent in the flat and I am glad that I chose Havannah flat. The receptionist here is kind and patient, and almost every week there is some interesting food that is shared at the reception desk. My favorite part was on the night of Chinese New Year, the receptionist put Chinese red envelopes on the door of everyone's room, which was really heart-warming and made me feel good about being from Scotland on a Chinese holiday. Thanks, Havannah.🥰

I am a student from China and this is my first time living in a flat abroad and Havannah has given me a very good experience. What I felt the most was the front desk staff who were always there, thank you very much for their hard work. Whether I forgot my keys, picked up a delivery or had a problem with a room appliance, the front desk staff were there to help me whenever I needed them. The location and environment of Havannah is also great as it is close to the school, although unfortunately due to Covid-19 I was unable to attend classes at the school. The location and environment of Havannah is also very good, it is very close to the school, although unfortunately due to Covid-19 I was not able to attend school, but from Havannah it is very convenient to go to the city centre and supermarkets, which is very convenient for me, the environment of Havannah is also the best I know, other flats are more expensive than Havannah and the room size is smaller. I really like Havannah House!

Amazing experience. This is my first student accommodation and it is very comfortable and welcoming. Great value for money and the rooms are never cold. Kitchens are big and spacious and great use and easy to clean. Literally a 10 minute walk from the middle of town and 2 minutes form the train station so very convenient for travelling to uni or work. There is always security 24/7 and overall the environment is welcoming. Hopefully after COVID we will be able presume normal activities and start partying like students do!!!

I have loved living here! The facilities are great, there is so much storage in the kitchen and rooms. The showers are huge and the rooms are designed so effectively with great layouts and ideal furniture and shelving. I have great views out of all my windows. It is easy to control temperature in the rooms; I'm never too cold or too hot. The staff are so friendly and helpful. There are security guards and I feel safe having moved to a city from the countryside for the first time in my life. Despite being so close to the city center, it is genuinely so quiet at night here. The rooms are big compared to other accommodations I have visited or lived in and honestly there is no competition. This really is a luxury place to live as a student.

Best student accommodation I’ve lived in! Classic Studio is great quality and modern, loads of storage space and massive floor-to-ceiling windows let in loads of natural light. Good quality ensuite with really spacious shower. Free wifi included with good signal in room. Heating bills included, so nice and warm during winter. All staff are really friendly and helpful! Location is great, 5 minute walk from University of Strathclyde, Morrisons and Aldi just around the corner, and a short walk to George Square and city centre. Not far from Glasgow Green which is nice to go for a walk/run.
