University accommodations
Glasgow University has a variety of different accommodations available for students from single to shared bedrooms, from a 20 minute walk away to literally rolling out of bed and right into your lecture hall, there is certainly not a shortage to choose from.
Check out here for a list of the different accommodations. Or take a look at this accommodations movie that give you a look at the areas and some of the senior residence staff.
Important thing about university accommodations is that the rooms fill up quickly so it is important that you apply for accommodates as soon as possible.
Once your application has be received from the school you will receive confirmation letting you know the availability of rooms along with a little bio on the facilities and a form that you must fill in and send back stating your preferred accommodation (building) that you wish to live in.
If you are slotted into an accommodation the accommodations office will then ask you for a deposit in order to reserve your spot. As an international student living outside of the country paying deposits can sometimes be tricky but there are a few different options you can choose. Paying deposit information will be sent to you when you are assigned a room but the most common ways of doing this is either wire/transfer the money into the schools account (with this option your home bank will likely have a fee on this usually its around $30-$70 depending the the bank and the value being transferred). The simplest way I think to do it is to just write the accommodations office a check - this way there are no extra additional fees to worry about when processing and transferring the money. Just make sure you write the check out for the deposit amount in pounds stirling (£)!
If you don't manage to getaccommodationss with the school there is certainly not a shortage of private accommodationss that you can rent as well! I will post more information next week on finding privateaccommodationss.
