Home from Home
Choosing to stay in University accommodation is more than just a place to sleep — it’s your gateway to new friendships, unforgettable experiences, and a supportive community that feels like home. With our dedicated Residence Life team always on hand, you’ll have the freedom to grow independently, with the reassurance that help is never far away.
Each UWS campus offers a range of comfortable, self-catered living options. Whether you prefer the social buzz of a shared flat or the privacy of a studio, our Ayr and Paisley campuses have something to suit your lifestyle. All accommodation is located close to campus facilities and local amenities, providing a safe, welcoming environment in the heart of the west of Scotland.
Students attending the UWS London Campus generally find their own accommodation, either in the form of a private let or privately managed residence.

Accommodation Support for Disabled Students
The UWS Accommodation Office provides support to students living in university accommodation. When applying for accommodation you will be asked to indicate if you require any room alterations or adaptations. You will be contacted directly to discuss your needs and suitable accommodation will then be sourced depending on availability.
The Accommodation Office has experience of arranging the most appropriate living arrangements for disabled students and will consider the student’s individual requirements and advise on an optimal location, room type and access.
While the Accommodation Office can support students, certain adaptations may not be possible in our on-site accommodation. Staff will endeavour to provide a variety of options depending on individual needs.
All discussions regarding possible adaptations should take place as soon as you are accepted onto your course to ensure staff can work with you at an early stage to source the most suitable accommodation.
