“I’ve been living at Foundry Courtyard for a while now, and overall, it’s been a pretty good experience. The best thing about this place is definitely the location — GCU and Strathclyde are literally a few minutes away, so getting to class is super easy. The rooms are decent and come with everything you need. The building also has some nice facilities like a gym, cinema room and study areas, which makes student life a bit easier. The place feels safe, and the staff at reception are usually helpful.”
“The property is amazing, be it the common area to chill in or the cosy room wherein I spend most of the time. People here are super friendly, and it feels like home away from home. Thank you, University Living, for helping me out find such an amazing home!”
“Great place to stay.”
“You will love staying there as it is in centre of the city. Everything is very close and the rooms are very good.”
“This is my 3rd year in Glasgow and this is one of the nicest places I have lived in before. Amazing staff and plenty of amenities.”
Students who want very short access to Glasgow’s two major campuses, GCU and Strathclyde (both about 0.3 miles away, roughly 6–8 minutes on foot). The site also emphasizes a strong set of on-site amenities that can reduce evenings off-campus trips.
Students who need the University of Glasgow campus (2.2 miles away) or require highly specific pricing details, since pricing and contract terms aren’t provided in the data we have.
Proximity to multiple universities, a range of on-site facilities (gym, cinema, quiet study rooms, lounges), inclusive bills, secure access, and supportive on-site staff.
Exact rent, contract length, cooling-off options, guarantor requirements, and exit terms aren’t included in the provided data. Some data like price ranges and certain consented terms are not available here.
Data gaps: The supplied inputs do not include contract lengths, cooling-off rights, guarantor requirements, or exit implications. If these are important to you, you should obtain current, explicit terms from the property manager before signing any agreement.
Foundry Courtyard offers en-suite rooms (private bedrooms with attached bathrooms, with shared kitchen/lounge areas) and studio apartments (self-contained units with private kitchen and bathroom).
The amenities are described across multiple sources, including hallbookers.co.uk and accommodationforstudents.com. Notable items include all-inclusive bills and on-site facilities; however, pricing details and some contract terms aren’t provided in the supplied inputs.
Pricing ranges, contract lengths, cooling-off rights, and explicit exit terms are not present in the provided data. When data is missing, we flag it so you’re not left guessing.
Glasgow Caledonian University: roughly 6–7 minutes on foot (0.3 miles). University of Strathclyde: roughly 8 minutes on foot (0.3 miles). City of Glasgow College: about 8 minutes on foot (0.4 miles).

Queen Street Station is 0.6 miles away (about a 10-minute walk) with broader connections.
Students prioritizing close access to GCU/Strathclyde will find this location particularly convenient. If you need more frequent access to Glasgow’s wider rail network or to reach campuses beyond the two nearest universities, you’ll want to consider transit options and time buffers.
