Oxford Brookes Accommodation Thread 2012

My ex-gf is a current student so I've been up to Clive Booth non-Ensuite a few times before, it's really quite decent tbh... Does anyone know when they're going to let us know which accomodation we actually get? I'm on a gap year so I've got an unconditional offer- I don't know if that means I get confirmation earlier or not.

Anyways, here's my choices:
I really don't want to have to work, just think it'd take a lot of flexibility out of student life... I'm with Wetherspoon atm so I could transfer if I wanted- but I don't know. Might quit Wetherspoon and get a shop job or something with less hours than what I'm doing right now.

I've got an unconditional offer too and I believe we get told our accommodation in July when they allocate accommodation to people with unconditional offers They also said we should get our first choice as well seeing as we don't wait until August to get accommodation like most people. I put down Clive Booth non-ensuite as my first choice too, I went to visit and it seems pretty decent and not as pricey as some of the others

How long does it take for the accommadation letter to arrive after you've firmed them?

can someone help me out! I insured Oxford Brookes and on the website it says i cant apply for accommodation until i get the grades for sure :P so does that mean if i do get the grades and end up going to oxford brookes there might not even be a place for me at accommodation??

Oxford brookes can only guarantee accommodation for those who firm the university. if there is space for those who insure then yes u may get but its not certain. this is common practice in many universities.

what if im an international student? will that make a difference?

Ah! I've still not received my letter (stupid post!), I hope I get it soon I know Crescent Hall will be on my list, just for cheapness, but I'm not sure about the others yet. Insurance people still apply at the same time, don't they?

yeah we do although i'm starting to think i should have firmed ob as then i would have a place to stay if i didnt' get the grades i needed for my firm.
Stupid ucas politics

Haha I know what you mean - they should just start building student tower blocks so they can officially give us all rooms! It also annoys me that there isn't a seperate loan for accommodation, as Oxford Brookes or not, I'm gonna be skint!
