| Comment | It really depends on how big of a commute you would be willing to put up with. There isn't 24 hour public transport so if you're working on a late shift you'll be stuck walking, cycling or taking a taxi. If you do get a bike, be prepared to keep it indoors in case it gets stolen. I don't know where you've gotten the idea of weekly rent though. Unless it's an Airbnb or just renting a single room as a sublet, almost everywhere charges monthly. It's easy enough to get a place relatively long term, most private lets are rolling monthly contracts. Landlords/letting agents that try to insist on 6 or 12 months are behind the times (student flats and some social housing, among others, have different rules) Price wise, it varies a lot depending on area. I live in a housing association (social housing, not US style HOA) and I pay £240 for a studio flat about 40 minute walk from the centre of Glasgow. For a similar property in the city centre, you could easily be paying £1000-1400+. Water bills are included in Council Tax which is charged in different bands based on the property value. Broadband, anywhere from £25 to £70+ depending on provider and package Mobile, depends how much data you need. I pay £15 and never run out but I don't watch a lot of video on 4G. Areas to avoid. Personal opinions as follows. + Govanhill - it's getting better but it was a bit grim for a while + Shawlands - shit mobile signal on many networks. + Ibrox and Parkhead - football crowds are annoying |
