University of Stirling Accommodation
The University of Stirling is actually located closer to Bridge of Allan than it is to the centre of Stirling itself, and its main campus is a former estate that lies between the two towns. One of Scotland’s most beautiful places for a University, located around the central Airthrey Loch at the foot of the Ochil Hills, the campus is home to a large proportion of the students who attend – roughly a third choose to live in student halls ‘on campus’.
For those who are looking to live elsewhere, the choice is typically between Stirling town centre, Dunblane and Bridge of Allan or further up to the north – although there are several other towns and villages dotted around the area that are home to student accommodation. What’s on offer tends to be varied, with shared student flats, smaller studios and off-campus halls all common in the region.
Student lets in the areas around the University of Stirling have a tendency to be far more affordable than those elsewhere in the UK, with many properties available for less than £200 rent per month. For this reason, it’s worth looking at private student accommodation because it could save you money and help make that precious student loan stretch just a little bit further...
