Glasgow is not the only city with these problems its the same for edinbrugh and worse for St Andrews. A add for a room near the uni goes up and it gets over a 100 replies in 12 hours. Many of them second year students 12 years younger then the current flatmate and the many others are international students giving places on erasmus when there is no possible affordable way for them to live here. They are due to start in days. The uni needs the cash no doubt but the covid debt is getting passed to the youngest here and international students who will be made to hemorrhage out cash a million miles from home. |
