At Stirling there's lots of accommodation options to choose from. With over 2,500 bedrooms across 19 properties, both on and off campus, it's useful to make a list of your preferences before applying. Here are some things to consider:
The cost of the accommodation will depend on what you are looking for. Consider what's affordable for you and what's included in the price. At the University of Stirling heating, electricity, contents insurance, WiFi, and housekeeping are all included in your rent. Our weekly rental prices are shown on the residence pages.
To help you work out your budget see our guide to student living costs.

It's worth getting in touch with our accommodation team as early as possible to discuss your requirements to ensure you choose the right type of room for your needs.
You can request a pre-entry visit where you can come and see the different types of rooms available and chat to our staff about your options. See more about our accessible accommodation and pre-entry visits.

Different sizes of flats are offered in our properties so have a think about how many flatmates you would prefer to live with. When applying for accommodation you can let us know all this information along with anything else you want to tell us about yourself or the type of flatmates you are looking for.
Once you've made a list of all your preferences go to our property search and pick the top six properties that match your needs.
