The accommodation also offers a limited amount of accommodation for physically disabled students. For students not offered a place in Margaret MacDonald House the School occasionally sub-leases residential accommodation from Glasgow University. This accommodation is arranged where applications and demand for accommodation is high. This additional accommodation is used as an extension of Margaret MacDonald House and is generally located within 10-15 minutes of the GSA Campus, towards the West End of Glasgow. For those of you who are not interested in living in student residential accommodation there is help available from Student Services to find your own accommodation in the private sector in the city.
Accommodation is available for rent to students attending any of the five institutions.
Each institution involved currently collects information on private rented accommodation from landlords. This information is then placed on PAD for all students to access via the internet. In the interest of student safety, accommodation is not registered with PAD unless the landlord has confirmed that it conforms to standards required to meet the PAD Safety Policy . The accommodation is not, however, inspected and your University or College accepts no responsibility if the accommodation registered with PAD is in any way deficient. It is unlikely you will find something suitable immediately and we advise you to allow plenty of time to look around.
