Students starting their place at the University of Glasgow have been told not to enrol if they do not have accommodation secured - amid a housing crisis. Education bosses said a 'significant contraction in the private rental market' meant they could not guarantee accommodation for students.
And a spokesperson confirmed they had asked some students to 'pause studies' because of a lack of housing. Masters student Louise Gorse, 23, has been on the hunt for a one-bedroom property she could share with her partner since June.
The couple believed three months would be enough time to find a flat but had to extend their search outside the city - and said they would be happy with a two-hour walk. Despite enquiring for more than 50 flats they only managed to secure four viewings during the summer-long search.
