Accommodation & facilities

IN THIS SECTION

The university has a number of student halls scattered around the city, all varying in walking distance to the main campus (the furthest is 45 minutes away). Facilities include 24/7 security, a bike shed, laundry facilities, a TV area or common room, Wi-Fi and the choice of an en-suite or shared bathroom facilities.

There is also the option to live in Wolfson Hall - a catered site serving breakfast, brunch and dinner. For those of you wishing to skip the notorious ‘first-year’ halls experience, then PAD (Private Accommodation Database) lists registered and approved accommodation on its site.

Yearly prices vary depending on where you stay, and detailed information can be found on the University of Glasgow site.

University of Glasgow students on Whatuni say:

“Great, supportive staff, close to uni and easy to maintain.”

“The accommodation is nice with friendly staff and a good room. I share with 4 other students and we have a big kitchen with 2 big fridges. All repairs are done fairly quickly and social events can be held at the common room.”

“My accommodation provides a great opportunity to meet new people and form new friendships. It's also a place that I learned to call my second home.”

The universities library boasts over 2,200 study spaces, hundreds of PCs and an impressive collection of rare books, archives and manuscripts. There are also group study areas, silent zones, social learning spaces and a café – because procrastination happens in the library too.

There are another ten cafes and restaurants across the different sites, as well as several cash machines, a second-hand bookshop (meaning student-friendly prices), an art gallery, a sports shop and a mailroom.

Two sports centres are located in the Stevenson Building and Garscube Sports Complex, where facilities include a 6- lane swimming pool, 3 tennis courts, 2 exercise studios and a sauna.

University of Glasgow students on Whatuni say:

“Brilliant.”

“I love our library and the gym. I use these the most. I really like the new Mary Stewart building at the vet campus too.”

“Toilets are well maintained and clean. There's even free sanitary towels for women in toilets along the lines of a donation box - take when you need, donate when you have spare which is a good idea. There's unisex toilets available. Plenty of food areas on campus and vending machines. Printing and computer access is very good as well.”
