It offers traditional En-suite and large Studio rooms, all with complementary furnishings and amenity appliances to make life easier for students. The apartment is close to the University of Glasgow, making it an ideal choice for students. The flats are also surrounded by a wide range of local, well-reviewed restaurants and supermarkets for students.
Features
Gibson Street Glasgow offers 93 rooms, ranging from the most common En-suite room type to the big Studio room type, providing students various options. En-suite rooms come with their own bathroom, but you will need to share the living room and kitchen with your flatmate, while Studio rooms are 26 square metres in size and include their kitchen and bathroom, and the larger room types offer extra storage space. The student housing also offers ovens, microwaves, fridges and cookers in the kitchen area. Microwave, fridge and hob appliances are also provided in the kitchen area to help students adapt to their new surroundings more quickly.
In the communal areas, Glasgow Gibson Street offers several amenities to help students spend time together, including a lounge with sofas and coffee tables for socialising and meeting new people. The quiet study room, on the other hand, provides a suitable study space for academics. In contrast, the Game Room is the perfect place for friends to team up and unwind.

Gibson Street is close to River Kelvin and offers beautiful views. Supermarket chains such as Tesco, Lidl and Co-op Food can be reached within a 15-minute walk from the student flats. Locally renowned Grocery stores such as Roots, Fruits and Flowers are also available for unique items. Just outside the flat, you'll find locally acclaimed restaurants such as The Left Bank, Tiffney's Steakhouse, and The Bay Tree, which serve various flavours. For a taste of British pub culture, look no further than Bank Street Bar Kitchen, Doublet Bar and Old Schoolhouse.
Gibson Street is surrounded by many parks of natural beauty, with Glasgow Botanic Gardens, Kelvingrove Park and Woodlands Community Garden offering a break from your studies and fresh air. The University of Glasgow's Hunterian Museum, Hunterian Art Gallery and Hunterian Zoology Museum will give you a better understanding of the history and culture of the area.

Gibson Street is close to the University of Glasgow and is a 5-minute walk away. The University of Strathclyde and the City of Glasgow College are 18 minutes by subway to the east. Glasgow International College and the Academy of Music and Sound are 15 minutes away by bus. To travel to other cities, the Charing Cross train station is 8 minutes by bus.
Security & Services
Gibson Street offers a safe and secure living environment with a CCTV system and access control. Security personnel are on duty at the front desk, and outsiders must register before entering.
