Staying in University accommodation during your studies is a great way to meet new people, make new friends and gain some independence with the reassurance that our Residence Life team are always onsite for help and support.
Each UWS campus has a choice of accommodation on offer. A variety of self-catered accommodation is available at our campuses in Ayr, Dumfries, Hamilton and Paisley in the form of shared flats or studios. All offer a safe and friendly environment close to main campus buildings and near to local amenities within 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.
Our sites are accredited by the respective local authorities and our Residence Life team are approved by Customer First UK for our high standard of service to our guests.

Our Resident Advisors (RAs) provide support and advice to all students living in UWS accommodation, building a sense of community among the residences through inclusivity and involvement and help create a great place to live, study and socialise, organising events to enable residents to mix and make new friends. All of our RAs live in the residences, and there is always an RA on site, covering office duties and out-of-hours service.
We would be delighted to show you around our residences and there are show flats available for viewing at Ayr, Lanarkshire and Paisley campuses. Viewings can also be arranged for accommodation at Dumfries Campus. We look forward to welcoming you to your new home.
