Hey! I'm actually one of the students whose been involved in helping students with their accommodation issues. I'm one of the committee members of the Stirling Students Tenants Union which is a group of students who help other students living in Stirling with their accommodation issues whether you live on or off campus. Unfortunately we are still working with the university to end the fee they charged students for leaving. The fee has not been cancelled they are just yet to chase students up for the fee. They have also charged some students beyond £400 despite saying there was a limit in this fee. However we are making progress in our union with the university! We were able to help students who couldn't collect their belongings they left in accommodation by arranging volunteers to pack up and store their belongings for them until they come back to Stirling. We were also able to meet with the university and secure a support fund for students who had to pay travel costs to come back and collect their things or the costs for hiring moving/storage companies. As we're still in the process of working with the university I hope we can continue to secure things that will help students. I also hope this gives some new students some peace of mind there are people here to help you if you run into any trouble, not just housing issues! Our students union has also been doing their best to help students with all sorts of issues. If you have any questions about accommodation or worries please reach out to the Stirling Students Tenants Union.

Thanks for making this video Georgia you've explained what life is like at Stirling so well!
Thank you so, so much for this comment Merryn. This is a wonderful insight into the situation, and I am just so sorry that this situation still has yet to be sorted.
I have pinned your comment so that everyone watching the video can read it, and contact you if they need help! ⭐
I will update my description to show that I was incorrect in saying the university had 'sorted it' I appologise for this, the source I had may not have accounted for everyone.
I hope that I can be of some help in shedding light on this situation, and hopefully this video will help to show the university that it still needs solving. Is there any petition links that are still active that I can put in the description of this video and share on social media?
Thank you for all of the continued help and support you give as part if the Stirling Students Tenants Union. I will pop my email below and let's see if we can make a difference for students together 💕🤗

Hi
Scope of job opportunities for Mba graduate from Stirling university
Omg and I was looking to attend stirling as an international student. This is not encouraging .
I´m a 2nd year and I totally agree with hwat you said about COVID, I´m an international student and had to leave in a hurry last year. I had been told I could leave stuff with uni storage box, but because I left in such a hurry that wasn´t possible. I was really lucky bc on of my flatmates from last year kept my kitchen stuff in her flat here in Stirling, bc that would have been like a hundred pounds worth of stuff.
Also remember some students doing a strike last year outside of a uni building and therefore being kicked out of accomodation and suspended for like eight weeks around january/february. They were basically kicked out on the streets.
They need to start learning from the criticism they´re getting. I love Stirling and am enjoying my studies here, but my god there is a lot to improve.
Hello Tirill! I am so sorry that you had to leave in a hurry, that genuinely sucks 😩 I cannot believe the housing situation at Stirling..! I totally agree, Stirling really need to realise that people are genuinely in terrible situations with their accommodation and that they need to improve 😳🤔😒
Girl! Such a good video!!! I am so happy that they changed the counselling system this year because it used to be shocking.
And halls is ridiculously expensive
Thank you so much 💕💕
Yeah, halls are HORRIBLY expensive 😩 And like, IMO...not worth it 😬
Where did you stay for first year 🤔
The Lazzzy Student ash and then I moved to juniper half way through the year
Ohh, I see! Juniper is actually really quite nice. Just so expensive for what you are getting 🙃
I graduated from Stirling 20 years ago. It sounds like it's gone down hill a hell of a lot, like most places.
Aww you're so cute🥰Currently, I'm a foundation student at Sunderland university i would like to say that, experiencing student life in the UK is quite interesting and the same time difficult to deal with the assignments
I got unconditional letter but i have some questions
1. Whats the accomodation fee lowest and highest
2. How's job opportunities
3. Are there good clubs for Martial arts
Plz need reply
Congratulations on your offer! It is always best to ask the university directly, but from my personal opinion, here are some answers!
1.The accommodation ranges from about £85 per week to a couple of hundred depending on which accommodation you choose.
2. The part time job opportunities while at university are pretty decent. You can usually find a job in a bar, shop or cinema etc.
3. I believe there is a good martial arts club, but you can find it all on the union website :)
I hope this was helpful!
@@TheLazzzyStudent thank you so much
That’s so horrible about how they handled accommodations with the pandemic! Charging extra is ridiculous to leave early, and kicking them out when they literally have nowhere to go is horrible. I haven’t thought about how US colleges handled dorms with foreign students. I know they kicked everyone out but some of these students literally have nowhere else to go
oh and speaking of parking there’s plenty of it at the university I’m transferring to next year BUT it’s an extra $200/year and you have to bring a car it’s one of the most spread out campuses in the states. If I didn’t bring a car I’d have to walk probably 5 miles just to get from class to class so I’m forced to pay the $200 🙃 they didn’t even refund students that last semester when schools closed and they weren’t even using the parking
@@EmsPlace1 No way 😫😫
What are universities more interested in their finances and not their students 🥺🤔
My friend in Americs is being sent away this semester and not allowed to return to America for university. It's because there is some new rule that if your classes are all online, they don't believe you should get to stay or live in the USA 😥😥
It is exciting that you are headed to university though 🥳🥳
Hi. I'm an Italian liceum (high school) student at my fourth year of studies (that means I'm at the penultimate year of Italian high school) and I'm eighteen years old. The "road" I choosed for my lifetime is to become an Anglo-Saxon teacher in Scotland's high school. I love Scotland - the Country and its people - and I choosed to make university studies there, directly. On the web I didn't found so much how about entering university in Scotland from Italy. Can someone advice me? I found Stirling University by chance during my researches and I was impressed by it.
Post scriptum: Sorry if I excuse me if I misplaced some grammar. I am working hard to learn the language better.
Thanks so much for your comment!
I think that choosing to become a teacher sounds wonderful!
I am completing the postgraduate teaching in England, at another university. However, after 4 years of undergraduate at Stirling I can say it is is one of the nicest universities :)
It has a good rated teaching programme also. I have multiple friends who took part in it and enjoyed it a lot. If I am not mistaken in Scotland there is also a 1 year teaching job guaranteed at the end of the course :)
If you are considering Scotland also consider the old unis like Edinburgh, St Andrew's etc too 😊
What was your favourite part of this video ☕☕☕
Okay sorry, here's a question from an American... what is a "high street?"
I love this!! I totally didn't realise you guys don't call it a high street over there 🤷🏻♀️🤗
A high street is basically the main street/road that shops and business are on! Over here in the UK, our busy main streets are in the centre of a town or city. It's a shame because our shops are dying, with loads of businesses going bankrupt! People are shopping online so much more! (Amongst other reasons!)
I have actually spent a few months in a couple of US states, and I haven't really seen the equivalent of a high street. Over there there's big shopping malls or what I would call little shopping villages.. We don't have as many of those, but your cities are generally super spread out. I was in South Carolina last summer and we drove past a Chick Fil A, a bank and a funeral home all on one road next to each other 😅 What is up with that 🙊🤷🏻♀️
@@TheLazzzyStudent Lol! Thank you so much! I've heard the term before but always wondered!!
So glad I explained it well enough LOL 😅 I have a habit of waffling, if you couldn't tell by my videos 🤷🏻♀️🙊
Cambridge Oxford Aberdeen
Great Video very helpful thank you. Can i asl though bout the timetable itself. I saw someone elses video and they said theres was quite empty is that the case with yours. Also whats itlike for first year is it way to get lost. And whats the first week like... Ifyou psoted videos on these im sorry going to explore your channel now.
Thanks so much for watching my video 🤗
The timetable Is quite empty, but I'm not sure if that is Stirling specific!
First years will get lost. I got lost even in my fourth year 😅
The buildings are confusing, but it is okay. Even lecturers get lost if there is a room change and they totally understand!
Freshers week is great :) I was so surprised that there was classed starting during the week during our first week!
Some friendly advice: go to all of your lecturers and sit near the front during the first week. Introduce yourself to your lecturers. When it is a Sunday night and you are stressing about an essay, they are the ones who will help you get an extension 🤭 Make sure they know your name!
@@TheLazzzyStudent Thank you so much tha definitley puts my nerves at ease my dad is a lecturer at a totally different uni so ive been questioning him alot but this has been very helpful and reassuring thank you
Hey :) Thank you for making this video! I just accepted my offer for Events Management and I also just applied for accommodation. I have to say as an EU student during Covid and after Brexit, it is quite expensive. I hope that I can pay for everything somehow... Would you recommend moving off campus after the first year?
Hi 🥳
Congratulations on your offer! I hope that you enjoy Stirling 😊
I would definitely recommend trying to live on campus during your first year and then off campus during your second year onwards 🤗
@@TheLazzzyStudent Thank you!
I've another question If this is alright... How does getting around look like in Uni? Is it possible to have a bike or smth like that? Oh, and what would you recommend to make a little money? Are there jobs available?
:)
@@travelertrine5918 Of course 🥳
Getting around uni is quite good actually, everything is on campus 😍 you can get anywhere within a 10-15 minute walk! (Depending on how fast you walk!)
Its nice rolling out of bed and walking to a lecture with just 10 mins to spare 😴
Canpus is also bike friendly too! As long as you don't mind one or two hills!
Jobs in town are quite good, although I can't say for certain with Covid...! I would say that they can be a little competitive, with it being a student town but the cinema and shops are always hiring! It is quite easy to get bar work too, so just be sure that you keep on top of looking around at online job boards and walking through the shopping centre to see what is being advertised in windows 😇
@@TheLazzzyStudent Thank you so much! I will definitely put those information down in my notes :)
Informative video, helps clear a lot of doubts. Can you tell me about how stirling helps in terms of employability? I am interested in artificial intelligence masters but couldn't find any reviews yet as I think this might be a recent addition.
I am not affiliated with the uni, but I can definitely share my personal experiences 🤗
I think that the careers services were great while I was at Stirling. You can arrange meetings with them and they will review your cv etc.
You can also find jobs through Stirling's specific TargetJobs portal. These are often good because they are not advertised on things like Indeed.
The careers service tell everyone that they will continue to help even after graduation, and I have heard that this is the case 😌
Best of luck! I hope everything goes well for you 😊
@@TheLazzzyStudent Thanks, this is really helpful! Thanks so much for the videos.
As an American student doing my graduate degree this year, I was straight up not having a good time. Pro tip: if you want to be happy don’t live in pendreich way 👀. Great vid tho, wish I had seen this before I dropped so much money there
Thank you so much for your comment Elyse 🥳
You heard it here folks, steer CLEAR of Pendreich Way 😭🤷🏻♀️😅
I never saw it, but I can imagine. What was tbe worst thing about it 🤷🏻♀️
The Lazzzy Student the place was wayyy too small for five people (not enough room for everyone’s food, only one toilet, only 4 people can really sit comfortably in the living room). The walls were incredibly thin (could hear my housemate with a different guy every night until like 5 am despite me asking her to quiet down or just do it on weekends). The rooms were small (like single jail cell small) but strangely enough not all the rooms were the same size and it didnt matter that you all paid the same rent, two people were gonna get bigger rooms and there wasn’t anything to be done about it. The rent was kinda cheap but with everything considered, not cheap enough 😂 plus you had to walk quite a bit to do your laundry (and pay) and the cleaning crew didn’t come often. Lastly, I had black mold in my room and I told them about it five different times and it took them a month to do anything and by that time I had already left for Christmas break. The only good things about it was that it was close to classes and it had a pretty cool hike behind the chalets with a good view of the castle and monument.
Oh my goodness, that genuinely sounds horrible 😭😭
I have actually heard of this accomodation, I just didn't know it by name (until now!) Someone I know stayed there a few years back and they said, and I quote, 'The walls always felt wet.' 🤮 They also complained about black mould, so I guess it is a running theme 😭🙃
It genuinely sounds so uncomfortable to live in and I'm sorry you came all the way from America to go through that! I really hope it didn't dampen your overall university experience 😩 I don't know how they get away with this, surely there are hygiene laws or something 🙃
When were you at Stirling? We might have crossed paths! 🤷🏻♀️
The Lazzzy Student hahah it did have a very moist feel to it! People used to call it “penshit way” haha. Ngl it kinda did ruin my experience because I had two housemates (the one I talked about above) that were absolutely horrible people and made my life a living hell which unfortunately caused me to sink into a depressive episode which inhibited making more than one real friend. And right when I was on the track to going out and exploring, the whole pandemic hit and I had to go home. I was only there for this past year and I wished I had done more and moved out haha. When did you attend?
No!!! I am so gutted to hear this 😭 Your flatmates sound like they SUUUCK 😥
I cannot believe this was your experience of Stirling 😩 I really hope one day you will get to experience it in a better light 🙃😌
Which state do you come from if you don't mind me asking?
I was at Stirling from 2015-2019, so we just missed each other! My boyfriend and I then went to Amerca for a few months. That is a whole other story 😳😬
hey georgia! i'm hoping to be an international student next year. do you think stirling is a good place to go? are there places to rock climb or to play soccer (football)? thanks for the vid it was very helpful:)
Hello Greta! Thank you so much for watching my video 🥳
I think that Stirling is a very nice place for international students to go, in general :) Make sure you are staying in good accomodation though..!
There is one place to rock climb indoors called The Peak. It is not connected to the university. Membership is quite pricey though, but it is a nice gym.
There is also a mountaineering club at Stirling University, so you might like that 🥳
You can play football as part of the university club ☺️
Hey. What video editing software do you use?
Hey! Thanks so much for the comment 💕
I use a programme called Davinci Resolve ⭐ I believe that it is on beta version 16 now! It is free 😌🤗
I love these uni videos 💐💐🙌🏽🙌🏽
Aww thank you Anjee 🥳💕
I am actually so glad I found your channel, I cannot wait for your new uploads 🤗💃⭐
Hey does anyone know how many people share a kitchen on each flat if you stay at juniper or willow?
Hi, thank you for your comment🥳
In Juniper, I shared a kitchen with 8 other girls.
I hope that helped!🤗
hai, great video... i have been going through all your videos to know more about the uni. I from India i am thinking about applying for Masters in human rights and diplomacy, can you help me to know more about the course .
Hi! Thanks so much for commenting on my video.
I'm afraid I don't know a anything amount about that Masters, but the Stirling university website has lots of details to go through 🥳
I applied for that course as well!
very helpful video as an internatoinal student thank uu xx
I'm so glad that you enjoyed it 🥳🥳
Are there any other videos you would love to see ☺️🤷🏻♀️
@@TheLazzzyStudent hmmm well I'd be interested in what stereotypes/assumptions about unis are true to some degree. without living there and knowing the reputations first hand, it'd be interesting if the tea on some areas is true or not🙈
The club membership that you have to pay for sports clubs is paid monthly or you just pay it once?
As far as I'm aware you pay it once a year 💕
@@TheLazzzyStudent Thanks a lot! :)
Of course 🥳 I hope you really enjoy Stirling!
What are you going to be studying 🤗
@@TheLazzzyStudent marketing and psychology 😊
Sounds awesome! I took psychology for my first 2 years before I changed my degree 🙊🤷🏻♀️ It was really good!
Just too much maths and lab reports for me. My brain doesn't work that way 😅😅
hey , if my boyfriend wants to come to my room, and i m in college accomodation,.........will it be allowed for him to come to my room?? or their are rules that no outsider can come to your room???
So, officially I think there are rules about that- but in reality.....its uni lol. People stay in people's rooms and they can't do much about it lol.
Porters are used to boyfriends coming over! I wouldn't worry 😅
Hey what is your opinion on pendreichway accommodations ??
I love your videos ! Xx
Thank you so much, this means a lot 😊💕🤗
Apparently you’ve never gone to university in the US. The student housing is light years better than the dorms on US campuses for the same cost for most of them. Daughter’s masters from University of Stirling will cost about 1/3 of what it would cost in the US-including airfare to come home for Christmas. As for the issues with COVID…It completely sucked at every university. Universities did not refund money for housing, tuition, or food services not used when the campus’s shut down. COVID sucked no matter where you were at.
Hey!! Thank you so much for this video! Appreciate your work! I hold an unconditional offer letter from UoS for MSC Data Science in Business, will the uni help international students with career guidance and employment after graduation?
Hey! Well done on your offer Rajas!
I am not affiliated with the university, just a previous graduate! However, in my experience, the university definitely can continue to help people when it comes to jobs.
After graduation you can join the alumni programme, and there are job boards and opportunities which you can be a part of. The university says that they continue to support you even past graduation, and I have found that in many cases, they do!
@@TheLazzzyStudent Thank you so much once again with the info! Stay safe :)
Of course! I am always happy to help :)
Best of luck with your degree, and I hope that you love Stirling University 💃
Stay safe and let me know how it all goes 🤗
@@TheLazzzyStudent Definitely! Jan 2021 it is
@@rajaschidrawar9503 my it’s also the same intake.
Is there any disabled/blue badge parking spaces and are they also always full?
This is a good question, and so vital! I find there are only a handful of disabled parking parking spaces in each university car park. They are not usually full. However, some buildings could be more disabled friendly. I’d be more than happy to explain anything further if you feel like it would help :) I got to know the buildings quite well during my time there!
Great video!!!
Thank you so much Declan 🥳🥳
Hi Angela your videos ars really awesome.Hello sir,
I saw your profile as I searched for University of Stirling. I'm planning for Ms in business analytics from Stirling University and as now uk offers 2 years post work visa. So are there good chances of landing a job in Uk.
Please suggest.
Hi! My name is actually Georgia, but that is totally okay..
Good luck with your Ms in business analytics from Stirling! Job opportunities are generally quite good in Stirling, but I am afraid I am not an expert on this.
Definitely utilise your careers advisor whichever university you decide to go to :) They will really be able to give you a great idea of the job culture in the UK.
Best of luck with everything :D
@@TheLazzzyStudent Sorry Georgia don't know how I got confused between angella😅
What is the rate per room and how many occupants per flat
Best to check Stirling University’s website as all the accommodation vary greatly!
What are the charges for uni accommodation?? Does it allows spouse stay..
You can find the rates on the university website :) I don't think they would have a problem with a spouse staying, but it is best to call and ask!
@@TheLazzzyStudent thank you so much 💕
Hey there! First i‘d like to say thank you 😊 I‘m starting Uni at Stirling next week and your videos have helped me so so much! As you said, studying at Stirling can be quite expensive. I was wondering if maybe you could do a video talking about the undergraduate costs of living😖? I really don‘t know what to expect when I get there.
Thanks again for all the advice:)
Hey Ally! Thanks so much for leaving this comment 💕
So exciting that you are starting at Stirling 🥳 You will love it!
I have a few videos lined up, but I will try to squeeze this great request in soon, so that you have it asap for starting semester 🌟🥰
dang I dont bother wanna go
I can tell you are such a funny person
Thank you, that is very sweet 🤗
thanks, was thinking about coming here but uh...bad location, bad political culture and accommodation doesn't pass the vibe check
That is fair enough, you gotta find somewhere that is good for you!
Don't take my judgements too seriously, it is just one opinion 😬 I would recommend visiting and speaking to current students if possible 🤔
Always try to visit your university options to see if they are the right fit for you 😎
If you have any more questions, please feel free to reach out 🤗 I would love to give any advice I can if it will help ☺️
Very nice
Thank you so much 🤭🤗
I'm coming striling University so anyone can arrange cheap room for couple there
