Accommodation
Jean Muir Student Village
You'll find a really friendly, welcoming community at the Scottish Borders Campus. You'll meet others from all over the world that share your interests, discover new activities, and make lifelong friends.
We know how important good quality accommodation is to the student experience. That's why, in 2012, we invested £12 million replacing all of our on-campus accommodation with a state-of-the-art Jean Muir Student Village.
What you'll really notice throughout the new student village is its first-class building design, the fantastic modern furniture, and the amount of communal space for you to study and socialise in.
All new entrants are guaranteed a place in University managed accommodation. Please see our Accommodation guarantee for full details.
