    Well my other son is paying £260 per month in a lovely residental area of Aberdeen. The house he is renting even has an open fire back garden etc and I wouldnt mind living there myself.

    The thing is if son no 2 gets somewhere suitable he is there for at least 3 years as he does not qualify until 2013. It needs to be within walking distant of University of Aberdeen. Where do you know?
  • £260 p/m :O. My goodness that's cheap for Aberdeen! Your son got very lucky! Only relatively cheap place I can think of within walking distance of the Uni would be Hunter or Cooper Court (both on campus...stayed in Hunter for the past 3 years, but would no longer actively recommend it, aside from the fact the location is ace) and Ardmuir, which is a 5 min walk away...both aimed at students (student flats) and both relatively cheap.

    urquhart street/roslin street/park street area is within walking distance of aberdeen uni. lovely area to live in near beach, pittodrie and of course close to town You. were extremely lucky with your older sons rent. cant see you getting anything less than £400 for one bed, or £600 for two bed flat. good luck though.
