Accommodation

The two main options for those who need a place to live in Edinburgh are University accommodation or a property in the private sector. You will find that they cater for a range of budgets.

You can meet new uni friends in our own flats, rent a room or a whole property from a private landlord or go for luxury and rent a high-spec student flat from a private company.  
  

We have 258 purpose built flats with space for over 1,400 students in the city centre, including a brand new site opposite Fountainpark, due to open for September 2013!

Our flats have en suite or shared facilities, which cost from £101 - £125 per week. These costs include heating, electricity, internet and basic contents insurance.

Apply now for accommodation in September 2013.

We welcome applications from care leavers even if you do not meet our allocation criteria and have a range of measures in place to support you. Contact us if you require more information.

Please read the  Specimen Tenancy prior to applying for accommodation, and find out more information on our allocation policy and how and when to apply.

If you do not meet the criteria for applying for our accommodation or would simply prefer to live in a private flat, please have a look at our Private Sector page.

Disclaimer

Please note that during times of high demand, the accommodation offered to you may be outwith the University’s own accommodation and the private sector accommodation where we already have reserved places. We reserve the right to offer a place in other third party accommodation which may be of a higher rent than our own advertised rents.

Should this offer of accommodation be refused, it will not be possible to offer an alternative. The University reserves the right to modify  these arrangements as seems appropriate, without notice.
