Insurance for University accommodation

Students living in University accommodation have basic contents insurance for possessions kept in their room. Check what is covered, how to make a claim and whether you need to extend the cover.

Cost of attendance

The cost of attendance is an estimate of the educational expenses a student may have during their annual period of enrolment.

It is used for US Federal Direct Loan administration and may be based on average expenses for full-time students in the same category, rather than each student’s actual costs.

Cost of living

Like many countries, Scotland and the wider UK continues to be affected by inflationary pressures which have impacted the cost of living.
