Accommodation options
We have a sizeable number of University flats available for couples and families.
Couples
The University has in total around 80 accommodation units suitable for couples.
Most of this accommodation is in small self-contained flats, many of them located in the area around the George Square campus.

In addition to University accommodation, there is also a very large amount of privately-rented accommodation available in Edinburgh.
Given time, you should be able to find something suitable for you and your partner.
Families
The University has in total around 65 accommodation units suitable for families.
The accommodation is in self-contained flats, with two to four bedrooms. About 70% of these flats are located at Blacket Avenue, adjacent to Pollock Halls.

As the temporary accommodation you will need while looking for a place to stay can be quite expensive, we strongly recommend that students with families come to Edinburgh alone in the first instance, and send for their partner and children only when suitable housing has been obtained.
