  • hey dudes this is my unfiltered opinions of four student accommodations in Glasgow. Hopefully this helps you figure out where you wanna be or maybe it just entertains you a little bit. The PG version of this video is up on the official U of G channel so feel free to give that a peek too. Either way i worked very hard on the vid so if you wanna share or like or do whatever the fuck you do to videos then go ahead. I feel like no one actually reads descriptions lalalal suck my toes

    Hey your video is really helpful ! I would love to see reviews about the other accommodation options😍 would really help to here reviews from a student, because I would love for the social life to be really good but an en suite bathroom is also very important to me...
    Any information would be great :))

    Hey, I really loved the video! It was very useful.
    I was wondering if there is a possibility of staying at Firhill for less than 44 weeks? Preferably 38 or 40 weeks. Thank you.

    Hey, It was a fun watch! I'm going to study at Glasgow this year and Wolfson Hall and its included 2 meals per day is very VERY enciting, is it worth it? How would you rank Wolfson Hall? Thank you sooo much for making this video

    This is really helpful! Clifton house looks amazing but I was just wondering if there will be a lot of other 1st years too? It would be nice to have some people to go to the Freshers' events with and all that

    Thanks for the honest review, if anything we need more of these lol. May I know if there are any other differences between QMU and Kelvinhaugh Gate? So far I know of distance from campus and cost, but I'm wondering if there any other differences not stated on the brochure.

    • @ellakohn577
      @ellakohn577  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm not too familiar with Kelvinhall but I know it's definitely in a better location than QM is (city and university wise). I heard that there were more mature students at Kelvin than QM. Thanks all I know unfortunately :(

    Do you know anything about the UofG own Student Apartments (the accommodation which is literally on campus)? I loved watching this video hoped you would make more. ^^
    I am going into 1st year and it is pretty hard to choose the right halls for me. The main thing I want is to make friends, I currently have the 2x Kelvinhaugh accommodations and Murano at the top of my list. I am also in my mid-twenties...

    Hiya - thank you for this! I was just wondering whether there are students from other unis in Glasgow in the private accommodations/ do you have the same student like experience in private accommodation (particularly Clifton house) as you do in uni halls? Thanks!

    • @ellakohn577
      @ellakohn577  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey! There's no guarantee that your flatmates will be from the same uni as you. Two of my flatmates ended up being being in glasgow city college. You definitely get a more authentic uni experience if you live in university halls or if you have friends who do.

      Hey! Hands down my recommendation would be for Murano. I know they even have separate blocks filled with exchange students and first semester it's the most social place to be if you don't know anyone!

    Since the university accommodation usually is only for 39 weeks and the masters course would be for 1 year, can you tell what would the students do after 39 weeks? Look for new accommodation?

    • @ellakohn577
      @ellakohn577  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      University accommodation like this is geared towards first year students, whose academic year is 39 weeks. I don't know enough about masters courses to give advice on the topic, sorry :/
