A flat consists of either six or eight single person study bedrooms with shared kitchen, washing and living areas. Study Abroad students will normally find themselves housed with Stirling s own third and fourth year undergraduate students, not with first year students. Each flat has an entry phone system so that admission is controlled by students themselves. Facilities within the flats vary and the accommodation information leaflet provides more detail on what is available. Several of the blocks of flats are modern, built within the last ten years and others date from the early 1970s, some recently modernised.
Prices generally reflect facilities.
Halls of Residence, of which there are four on campus, are currently reserved for new first year undergraduate students and are not allocated to study abroad students. Rooms are compact, single study bedrooms and there are few shared rooms. Students provide their own cooking utensils. Other residences have bathroom facilities that students share. Rooms may have their own washstand and have a single bed, wardrobe, desk and drawer space, plus bulkheads which allow for storage of suitcases and larger items.
