Mealmarket Exchange is a cheap student accommodation in Aberdeen, close to the University of Aberdeen and Aberdeen College. Mealmarket Exchange offers both En-suite and Studio room types, catering to various student needs, and all rooms are fully furnished and equipped with appliances. There is an access control system, and security guards are on duty at the main entrance to ensure the safety of students 24 hours a day. The student flats are also ideally located close to the city centre, with several supermarkets, restaurants and bars nearby, making them an ideal choice for Aberdeen students.
Features
Mealmarket Exchange offers two room types, the En-suite being the most common room with a private bathroom included, while students can have dinner with up to four flatmates in the communal kitchen or socialise in the living room. The Studio, by contrast, offers a fully self-contained living space, including a separate kitchen and bathroom, and supports free double occupancy. All rooms are furnished with matching furniture, including double beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs, and storage space. Mealmarket Exchange also provides a fridge, cooker, oven, microwave and other appliances in the kitchen area to help students get used to their new surroundings.
On the Ground Floor, the first thing that strikes you is Mealmarket Exchange's spacious and cosy lounge, where everyone can use the facilities. The laundry room and bicycle shed provide students with essential living support. On sunny days, it's nice to go out and soak up the sun in the Courtyard.

Mealmarket Exchange is just one street from Aberdeen city centre, with everything you need. Tesco, Morrison, Lidl, M&S and Co-op are all within a 10-minute walk of Mealmarket Exchange, and most of the UK's supermarket chains have branches here. The restaurants around Mealmarket Exchange are endless, with chains like Miller & Carter, Five Guys and Nando's. In contrast, local restaurants include The Esslemont Bar & Restaurant, Maggie's Grill and Di Maggio's, and for those who like a drink, there's Scotia Bar, The Kings Bar and The Blue Lamp.
As Aberdeen's main business district, the city centre contains Bon Accord and The Academy, two central shopping malls with over 100 stores, including upscale fashion boutiques, plus cafes and restaurants. In addition to the shopping malls, facilities showcasing local culture and history can also be found in the city centre, such as the Aberdeen Maritime Museum, Provost Skene's House Museum and the Aberdeen Art Gallery.

Robert Gordon University is a little further away and is a 29-minute bus ride. For travelling to other cities, Aberdeen train station is a 14-minute walk away.
Security & Services
Mealmarket Exchange offers a safe and secure living environment within the apartment complex with a CCTV system and access control system.

Mealmarket Exchange FAQs
Some Studio room types allow double occupancy, can my friend stay with me?
Yes, you need to reconfirm with the apartment whether the room type you choose allows double occupancy, and the co-resident needs to be a student.
What is the general difference between Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum room types?
The main difference is the size of the building area, but each room has the same furniture, decoration style, etc. Note: There may also be other minor differences between apartment buildings in different cities.
Can I switch if I don't like my room?
If other students cancel the room, or agree to exchange with you, you can contact the property management team of the apartment, and the staff will try their best to meet your needs. However, except for the different room types and different building areas, the configuration and facilities of each room are the same.
