ACCOMMODATION
With rents in Glasgow at a weekly average
of £85 in 2013, the city is well above the
national average of £79.42. However,
you can still find a good deal on your
accommodation depending on where in
the city you live.
worst thing
Living in the city centre is always
advantageous as you’re close to anything
and everything you could possibly need!
For Glasgow Caledonian and Strathclyde
students, you’re within walking distance
of your campus so it seems the natural
choice. For those at the University
of Glasgow, the abundance of bars,
restaurants and clubs, not to mention the
extensive range of shops right on your
doorstep, are a major attraction. For the
price of £1.40, you can take a short ride
on the subway and be back on-campus
within 10 minutes. With an average
weekly rent of £80, it’s lower than the
city’s average and has received positive
feedback, with students scoring it 86%
satisfaction rating.
Student accommodation is
relatively expensive.
If you want the best of both worlds, then
where better to settle then Woodlands?
Equidistant from the city centre and
the University of Glasgow, this area
really has it all. It’s a stone’s throw from
Sauchiehall Street, which is packed with
student-friendly bars, and with average
rental rates of £68, you’ll have plenty of
your student loan left over for partying.
