Your room/flat details will be given on the day you arrive. We cannot release these details in advance in case we have to make any last minute adjustments to room allocations. Don't worry if you are going to arrive a few days after the main arrivals weekend. The rooms are allocated in advance of your arrival, not on the day itself, so nobody can grab the perceived 'best room' if they arrive before you.

Part of the excitement of your arrival is meeting your new flatmates. Just remember everyone is in the same situation and may be feeling a bit nervous too.

The Residence Life teams are there for you to help you settle in and orientate around the residence and campus.

You need to arrange cutlery, crockery, cooking utensils, bedding, bed linen and towels for most residences. Check your residence profile to see what is included:

Visit our UofGLiving page for some great tips on what to bring or to buy when you arrive. Also check out the GUEST Student2Student Essentials campaign as you could get some items FREE of charge from the EcoHub in the Boyd Orr Building.

Also remember your passport, driving licence and other important documents. Lastly don't forget your phone/laptop charger.

Glasgow University Environmental Sustainability Team (GUEST) is a team of highly motivated and professional students employed by the university to work on improving the environmental practice of the university.

The Student2Student Essentials campaign allows students to collect FREE homewares which have been donated by other students who are leaving Glasgow or their accommodation. It's a win-win for all if you are moving out and can't take kitchen items or your duvet cover with you or if you've just arrived in Glasgow and want to pick up a new mug for your flat. Drop-off point

Come visit the new Eco-Hub on Level Two of the Boyd Orr Building! The space is open weekdays, 1000hrs-1800hrs and promotes sustainability on campus. The Eco-Hub hosts the GUEST Student2Student Essentials where all incoming students are encouraged to take home pre-loved kitchenware and homeware for FREE! Items include cutlery, pans, plates, food containers, stationary, and bedding. Help reduce waste and save yourself money in the process - all you need to do is bring your own bag to take your new items home!

The remaining balance must be paid through your MyCampus account. Please note that accommodation fees will appear in your MyCampus account on or shortly after the contract start date . You cannot set up a payment schedule until the fees are on MyCampus.

You may pay in instalments via a UK bank account (Direct Debit) or by credit card (manual payment plan). See Payment methods and Your Finances for details.
