Accommodation

There are two main options for those who need a place to live in Edinburgh: University accommodation or a shared flat in the private sector.

There are several University accommodation buildings throughout Edinburgh, with single bedrooms, shared facilities and common areas. These are not located on campus and you may need to travel to attend classes.

Meanwhile, the private sector offers many furnished, shared student flats throughout the city, giving you more choice and flexibility in your flat and location.

We recommend you arrive in Edinburgh 1-2 weeks before the start of the induction events to ensure you have plenty of time to settle in. You can book a very inexpensive hostel room for your arrival and move into your flat from there.
