Comment	The ones affiliated with Glasgow Uni are a lot like actual flats, I never had a problem living in Kelvinhaugh Gate or delivering in Murano. All privately built or massively renovated student flat buildings and all the ones downtown have very weird systems. The one on 359 Argyle is hilarious. Multiple front doors and you have to get into the courtyard to get to the flats on the side streets. The three complexes near Calgary St - Stafford St really take the piss though, each of them is at least three separate buildings, but most of the residents were clued in and would wait outside. I'd have to give the Shit Crown to the U-shaped complex on the river near the SSE though, even if it's not student flats. [https://imgur.com/a/pjYrUdS](https://imgur.com/a/pjYrUdS) Each one of the red circles is a separate elevator, only accessible from inside the courtyard. The two green arrows are the only entrances. Yeah. Navigating when inside was the easy part a lot of the time, the problem with having one entrance is just ringing the bell to be let in involves a massively complicated board with instructions next to it that you have to decipher. I won't miss trying to figure out what order to put in the building number, floor number and flat number or having to text the residents for help, some of whom couldn't even help because they never had to use the system themselves.
