Housing
Arcadia University, in conjunction with the University of Aberdeen, guarantees you a space in university managed housing. International students are most commonly allocated bedrooms at Hillhead Student Village (HSV), a large complex comprising multiple housing blocks. Most of the facilities at HSV are self-catered; however, there are limited catered options available. You should indicate a preference for either catered or self-catered options (with or without a meal plan). The housing office at Aberdeen will select and finalize the housing assignments.
Housing options generally comprise single bedrooms in shared apartments of 5-9 students, usually with other International and Study Abroad students. You'll have access to a shared kitchen, lounge, and bathroom facilities. Additionally, there are some en-suite options available.
Hillhead Student Village is a vibrant student community, situated a short 10-15 minute walk from the main University of Aberdeen campus. There is a restaurant, shop, social space, and 24-hour reception located in “Headspace” - the hub located in the center of HSV.
