Glasgow students denied university accommodation

Elissa Varley, 18, from Burton-on-Trent, has a conditional offer to study politics at Glasgow University.

"I don't even know my results yet and whether I've got in and then I have two weeks to find private accommodation."I wish they would have told us sooner so I would've been better prepared to look at different accommodation or I could've contacted a different university through clearing."Elissa's father Duncan said: "If she gets in, that gives her two weeks to find a room in a market which Glasgow University admitted does not have much accommodation.

"I think he will probably decline the offer as waiting up to 10 days to find out if he has accommodation is ridiculous."It is a real choice between waiting a year or going somewhere less good through clearing. "After the accommodation crisis across Glasgow last year, the SRC lobbied the university to commit to a moratorium on student numbers, despite this it now seems that over-recruitment has contributed to the creation of a similar situation."SRC president Rinna Vare said the student council were "very concerned" about how the shortage would affect the experience of freshers.
