Prospective students for the University of Glasgow were told that accommodation was not guaranteed, as exam results were released on Tuesday.
The university has said increased demand and a significant contraction in Glasgow’s private rental market are to blame. New students were disappointed to discover the accommodation they thought was set in stone was not promised.
Students who live within commuting distance were automatically denied accommodation, while prospective students from further afield were told being provided a place to stay was not guaranteed. The university has now strongly advised students against registering at the university unless they have secured a place to stay.
