Glasgow is a popular student city, so it's best to plan ahead when you're looking for accommodation. Start your search a few months in advance, around October, and don't leave your booking until later than January. 

Trust a student housing expert like the team at iQ to help you find the right Glasgow student accommodation. You can use iqsa.com to search by area or uni for the best housing near your campus. Here are some of the locations you might look at:   

• Glasgow Caledonian University is in Cowcaddens, close to the city centre.   

• The University of Glasgow is in the fashionable area of Hillhead in the West End.  

• The Glasgow School of Art is in central Glasgow's wealthy Blythswood Hill area. 

• The University of Strathclyde is also in the city centre.  

Many students also choose to live outside the city centre, in more affordable areas and travel to their campus by bus. 

Prices will vary depending on where you live. Look for options that include onsite student facilities in the costs. For example, Elgin Place accommodation starts at £230 per week. This student housing includes en suite rooms and studios, with an onsite cinema, gym, lounge and roof terrace. 

With iQ, you can make one large payment upfront or split it into two or four smaller payments during the year. Local students can pay with a credit or debit card. International students can easily pay with an international bank transfer through Convera.
