Home (Commuting) Students' Information Hub

Many University of Glasgow students live at home rather than in student accommodation, and commute to campus.

In 2022-23, according to HESA data, 60% of full-time undergraduates at UofG had their home address within 40 miles of campus, so if you are - or are thinking of becoming - a home student, you're not alone!

We recognise that there are benefits and challenges to being a commuting student. The information collated here is designed to help you make informed choices and navigate your student life.
