Temporary accommodation

If you book university accommodation, you will be sent information on when to arrive. Similarly, if you arrange accommodation with one of the private housing providers, you will be given a date when your contract starts. You will not be able to access your accommodation until the date specified, therefore if you plan to arrive early, you will have to book temporary accommodation for a few nights. The same advice applies if you are planning to arrange accommodation once you arrive in Glasgow .

If you do need temporary accommodation for a few nights when you first arrive in Glasgow , it is important to book in advance. There will be several thousand new students arriving in the city within a few days therefore hostels and private halls may fill up early. For more information go to:

Alternatively, the private halls of residence listed under “Accommodation” (above) may be able to provide short term accommodation.
