More than 500 rental applications have been made for a flat in central Glasgow within hours of it being listed as desperate students continue to struggle to find accommodation.
Some students have resorted to temporary accommodation in hostels, with others living hours away from their chosen universities.
Glasgow University has said it can no longer guarantee accommodation for students, with some urged not to enrol if they cannot find anywhere to stay.
The flat in central Glasgow was listed for £895 a month and was leased hours after the first set of viewings. The one-bedroom property, listed by the estate agency Pacitti Jones, received offers from tenants willing to pay hundreds of pounds over the asking price.
