"There used to be halls of residence at one time, not sure if they still are there, try Culloden, its on the same side as the uni. Best of luck!!"
The halls of residence wants nearly 800.00 month just a bit out of my budget |

Ouch, that is ridiculous. If I think of anything I will let you know, you should be able to get somewhere for half that.

if he drives it would be worth looking outside off Inverness itself across the bridge where I am sure the flat prices would be cheaper or maybe getting in touch with letting agents or even get a hold off the local paper online and go to landlords direct , hope this helps |

"Students can apply for funding to live in the halls. I would go speak to the student services or call them. If not there are a few websites that look for people to flat share with in Inverness "
I couldn't PM which is cool, but but if you could message some websites I would be very grateful thank you |

"Also try SpareRoom not sure if there’s any in inverness but I used it down in London  "
That's what I was going to suggest. I found a perfect place on there a few years back when I was between houses.
Good luck! |

Thanks everyone for your help, apart from strangling my son I think we will get something soon, the flatshare is great and hopefully be an option till something he really wants comes along. |

Looks in the Culloden/westhill areas are a good place to start, within walking distance. I also know that you can find flatshares and the like on Facebook/gumtree for the area, seen a few there is you have no luck with offical agencies. Lots of home owners who don't want to go through all the hassle of getting a company to lut it up just use Facebook etc. Can't remember the page name now though... sorry. |

Culloden is 20 mins on the bus, 15 min cycle or a 40 min walk from the college so it’s not bad at all |

They're so fussy haha I only had to rent a room at around 18 when I had to move away into the town. Rented rooms for about 3 years before got my own flat with a flatmate. I much preferred renting rooms, so much cheaper and I only had to worry about my own mess! With a flatmate they expect you to clean up their shit too!  lol |
