Buchanan View

I definitely recommend it for students looking for good value for money halls in Glasgow city center. 5 minute walk from the bus station and city centre and right across glasgow caledonian university. Staff and location are the best things about this accommodation. Every now and they organise events with free food and drinks etc etc. Not a boujee accommodation but rent is cheaper compared to other halls.

The location is amazing for students of Glasgow Caley, Strathclyde or multiple colleges. It’s central and just a five minute walk from the city centre with shops/ train station & sights. The overall facility is clean and tidy, the reception is easy to find and staff are nice and helpful with everything (parcels, locked out, etc.) In the first weeks people are very open but later they just keep to themselves and their flats. Flatmate are obviously a variable but let’s just say it’s hard to Throw 5 strangers in a flat and make it work. However you can say this about all halls anywhere. My room was big enough for myself and had everything I needed. The bed was comfy, I had enough space for all my stuff and the bathroom (en-suite) was small but nice. The heating sometimes didn’t want to work like I wanted it to but after some trying it worked. If something breaks it’s quickly fixed by maintenance. All in all a good experience but definitely improvement areas.
