Where students live in Aberdeen
Areas students actually take rooms in, with the buildings closest to each one. Matched by location, so a building appears under the area it stands in rather than the area its marketing claims.
Froghall and Powis
Immediately south of King's and cheaper for it, granite tenements and student flats mixed into family streets. Close enough that the walk to a nine o'clock is no excuse.
- Froghallfrom £123/week
- Fraser Studiosfrom £175/week
- St Peter Studiosfrom £186/week
City centre and Union Street
The only address that serves both universities, because the buses to each run through it. Most of the purpose-built stock is here, and Union Street is as busy and as windy as it looks.
- Justice Mill Studios, Aberdeenfrom £180/week
- St Andrew Street, Aberdeenfrom £165/week
- ABelevenfrom £105/week
Garthdee and Mannofield
Robert Gordon's campus sits at Garthdee by the River Dee, and Mannofield fills the gap between there and the centre. Few University of Aberdeen students bother with either, which keeps competition down.
- Caledon Courtfrom £145/week
Useful to know nearby
Places students in Aberdeen actually use. We have no arrangement with any of them.
- Aberdeen Central Library
Public study space beside Rosemount Viaduct, convenient from the centre and buses to both universities.
- Seaton Park
The large park immediately behind Old Aberdeen and King’s College, part of the everyday route from Hillhead.
- Aberdeen Sports Village
Major sports facilities beside the University of Aberdeen campus, used by university clubs and the public.
- Duthie Park
Riverside park and winter gardens south of the centre, on the route towards Garthdee.

What to know before choosing a room in Aberdeen
A city-by-city note about the decisions that change your daily routine. Prices and availability remain live in the listings above.
Aberdeen gives you a sharper choice than most cities, because its two universities are nowhere near each other. The University of Aberdeen is in Old Aberdeen at the northern edge, around the granite of King's College. Robert Gordon University is at Garthdee in the south west, by the River Dee. That is about four miles of city between them, so an area that is a ten minute walk for one set of students is a bus journey across town for the other.

Getting around Aberdeen
Buses are the backbone here and the routes along King Street and Holburn Street are the ones to know, because they connect the centre to the two campuses. Journey times across the city run fifteen to twenty five minutes depending on traffic. Aberdeen is walkable within each half of itself but not easily between them, so a bike or a bus pass is close to essential if your teaching is split. The railway station is in the centre, with Edinburgh and Glasgow around two and a half hours away, and the granite streets are exposed enough that a decent coat outperforms most transport decisions.
Frequently asked questions
- 14 buildings in Aberdeen publish a starting price, from £80 to £195 a week, and half of them start under £145. Most of the difference is area and room type rather than one or two outliers. Each figure is the cheapest room in that building, so compare the room lists rather than the headline.
- Everything we list in Aberdeen is in Froghall and Powis, City centre and Union Street, and Garthdee and Mannofield. Buildings are filed by their coordinates, not by the area their marketing claims, so the table above puts each one where it actually stands.
- 9 of the 17 buildings here say so, and 8 publish nothing either way. A page that says nothing is a gap in what the building has told anyone, not a bill, so ask before you rule it out.
