Advice on Accomodation Glasgow
Hello, I recently got accepted to the University of Glasgow and I’ll be starting in mid-September.
I’m starting to look into accommodation and was thinking about private accommodation rather than student accommodation since I’m hoping it may be cheaper. I’ve never been to Glasgow or even the UK before, so I’m feeling a bit lost and would really appreciate some advice.
Which areas in Glasgow would you recommend that are safe but also relatively affordable for students? Also, is it better/safer to rent through real estate/letting agencies rather than finding places through Facebook Marketplace or other groups?
Are there any other things I should be aware of as an international student renting for the first time in Glasgow? Things like scams, contracts, transport, bills, areas to avoid, or anything else.
Any tips or advice would be really appreciated. Thank you!
