2 French students looking for a flat in Aberdeen in September ... Impossible?

Question

As I said, me and a friend are going to Scotland (Aberdeen) to study next September... We'd like to share a flat or a house with some Scottish people or other foreigners... But according to what I've been told and what I can see on different websites, I seems to be an impossible mission... What do you think abour that?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Answer 1

i would suggest going to a site called gumtree and posting your advert there. There is also a local paper called scot-ads, that has free adverts. Aberdeen college will also be able to help

Answer 3

have you contacted the college or uni you will be studying at, they usually have lists of student rentals, also post a notice on the board there asking for a flat share. good luck

Answer 4

there are lists at RGU,try the local papers  www.eveningexpress.co.uk

www.pressandjournal.co.uk

www.scot-ads.com

i dont think it's impossible but it won't be easy to find from another country

be wary of certain areas (tillydrone,northfield,middlefield)

rental prices are also pretty high at the moment
