Kelvin court staff are sooo nice, they drop everything to help once there is a problem. The rooms are so convenient, they handle the packages with care, and I love this place especially because as an international student far away from home, they have been so welcoming!

Hi, is there any public transport connection with the main UofG campus ? Google Maps doesn't seem to find it and in case of bad weather can be handy.

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 lived in Kelvin Court for my first year of university and had a great experience. The rooms were well-furnished, and the common areas were always clean and well-maintained. The location was also perfect, just a short walk from campus and all the shops and restaurants. I was particularly impressed with the level of support from the staff. Colin and Dan were always available to help with any problems, big or small. They were always friendly and helpful, and they really went the extra mile to make sure I had a positive experience. I would definitely recommend Kelvin Court to other students. It's a great place to live, and the staff are second to none. I am very grateful for the help that Colin and Dan gave me during my time at Kelvin Court. They made my first year of university a much more enjoyable experience.

I stayed at Kelvin Court in 20-21 and I couldn't recommend it more!! The rooms are a great size, with lots of natural light and wooden floors. The bathroom shower and sink worked amazingly, and I never had any problems with my room. The kitchen is relatively basic but never failed - and the sofas were leather so easily cleaned! The location was great for Uni of Glas - really close to a Tescos and Sainsburys as well as a few cafes, and the nearest subway to town is a 15 minute walk across the river. Shout out to the site manager Mark - an absolute legend!! Always there to help us with any problems on site.
Thank you very much for your review and delighted that your are settled in nicely and are enjoying your experience at Kelvin and are happy to recommend this to others. We hope that you enjoy the rest of your time with us and we are here for anything you might need throughout your stay. Kind regards Debbie
