Your life at Stirling University, sorted
The University of Stirling's Students' Union is committed to fighting the housing crisis and addressing the issue of student homelessness.
We recognize that secure and affordable housing is essential for students to thrive academically, mentally, and socially. By advocating for better housing options, influencing policies, and lobbying the University to improve their accommodation in multiple areas, we aim to ensure that every student has a safe and stable place to call home during their time at the University of Stirling.
Together, we will work towards building a supportive and inclusive community where no student experiences homelessness or housing insecurity.
Due to the cost-of-living crisis, it is becoming even more difficult to find suitable housing.
Because of the convoluted nature of the housing situation, it is often the case that students are unaware what rights are afforded to them as tenants.
This Housing Guide was therefore created by Jess Reid (VP Communities 22/23) and Dante Lopez (Housing Officer 22/23) to help relieve some of the pressures students are facing and equip them with additional knowledge and resources.
