University of Stirling Reviews and Ratings

• I used local renting agencies to rent an apartment. The cost of living in UK is very high.

• We took a huge risk by not booking any prior accommodation. After reaching Stirling, we started collecting information from locals and eventually we found an Indian restaurant – where the owner offered us the shared living I previously mentioned.
• But it is highly suggested to book accommodation beforehand through trusted online platforms. The university does support finding accommodations too.
• £265 for shared living – one bedroom, shared kitchen and dining and shared bathroom. It included electricity and wifi.
• Accommodations in the UK are in high demand. You can find many articles on accommodation shortages across the UK. Therefore, you might struggle if you don’t book early. The issue I faced was that I was not getting a decent value-for-money place. Places were either not decent or too high-priced.
• Try and search Rent A Home or Gumtree. Speak to current students. Speak with the University, search for facebook groups.
• My accommodation was in the city centre, which was a 10 min bus ride.
• Most Indians stay in the city centre as opposed to the University campus. City centres provide more job opportunities, which influence the decision heavily.

• My accommodation was off campus; I found it through online platforms and with the help of the SIUK agency, it was really hard to get one at a normal price.
• My monthly rent was £800 including bills and mine was an en-suite room; it was 2 BHK. It was built like student accommodation and in the next year I found a flat with my friends that cost me £400 with bills; it was a 4 BHK. So it really depends on how you pick your flat. First year you have to invest anyhow.
• Just finding a flat is very exhausting and can be draining, especially in a remote city like stirling plus with the price increasing, it was really hard.
• I’d say on-campus experience is important but can’t go out of the budget and get a flat because I went broke a lot of times in the middle of the month because my rent was a lot, which caused me to compromise on other things like food, etc. First year can be rocky but from second year you have to get a cheaper flat because you barely stay there and paying £800 for just sleeping in the room doesn’t make sense.
• Most of the Indian students were in the same accommodation as me and it was 10-15 mins away from the university.

• I stayed in the University accommodation, so I found it on the University website.
• It was 8000 per annum, hence 666 pounds per month. Facilities included were laundry, wifi, a lounge area with a Television, and sofa, Kitchen with 8 electric stove tops. The rooms came with an attached bathroom, a bed and a study table, with an added bonus, a great view from the room.
• There was honestly no challenges that I encountered, finding the accommodation was an easy process as everything was available on the University website.
• The accommodation was in the university itself so it was a 2 minute walk to the main campus.

The major three things I liked were Good outreach, experienced faculty and recreational activities. Moreover, the campus environment is also great, full of events and opportunities.

It was an mixed experience. It was Covid during the period, so I was not able to explore many areas of campus life. But I see my Juniors have got a better experience past covid.

For academic purposes it was quite engaging and a fulfilling experience. Where I was able to participate in various research groups. The professors were helpful and are still in touch with students. The university provided me that space of academic endeavor that I was looking for and an engaging student life.

It was good, the course material. faculty and the campus. The easy accessibility to books and online material was quite helpful in my journey.

On the scale of 1-10, I would rate my experience 8 out of 10.
