CALEDONIAN COURT
Caledonian Court
Glasgow Caledonian’s modern accommodation
Aserious question for young people going to university, and
for parents and guardians, is about the availability of
secure, quality accommodation.
Conveniently based on the campus, Caledonian Court offers
students the freedom of independent living with the discreet
support of a team of trained , security and welfare staff. The team
does their best to ensure that students living away from home
have an enjoyable and memorable experience. Additionally, our
flats are licensed Houses of Multiple Occupancy, regulated by the
Environmental Health Office, giving extra peace of mind to
residents, parents and guardians.
Clustered around garden areas, the flats provide a close sense
of community whilst giving the students the feeling of privacy and
space. There is a controlled door entry system, and a payphone
for each building, once again enhancing the sense of safety and
security for the residents.
Each of these flats accommodate six to eight students in
mostly single rooms with either ensuite or shared facilities.
Additionally, there are a few rooms which are adapted for
residents with special needs. This unique mix ensures that there
is accommodation to suit all requirements and budgets. There is
a well equipped, spacious kitchen in each flat, providing the basic
essentials for self catering while students are living away from
home. Students also have access to a central ‘pay as you go’
laundry and can arrange to use the social area above the
Accommodation Office in the heart of the residences.
The rent is approximately £75 - £85 per week for the academic
session, including gas and electricity, crockery, utensils and
bedding. Residents’ own computers can be set up to allow 24
hour access to the internet for coursework and email.
» University Open Days are held every year in September, inviting
prospective students to come and have a look at the excellent
facilities on our modern city centre campus.
