Leicester accomodation

I know this has probably been asked and answered before but what do you actually get for having catered accomadation? Is it worth it?

I believe it is 2 meals a day. Breakfast and Dinner Monday to Friday. Brunch and Dinner on the weekends.

Overall one of my friends worked out that if he had gone (and still did) get all of his meals it would have meant that he paid 80p per meal.

Could anyone tell me if Leicester accommodation is on a first come first serve basis? Or do they basically pick it out of a hat (ballot)?

It might have been caught in your spam filter, have you tried to add [email protected] to the safe-list?

This is exactly what they said to me.I've added them to my email contacts and I have a search feature on my email and I've searched 'accomodation' in my entire email, including spam and it brings up any emails regarding accomodation and nothing..

Am I correct in assuming that Leicester do not make accommodation offers until results are in or if you have an uncondiational offer?

I think so. It said that in a document they sent me anyway.

Correct.

Catered halls have to leave their accommodation over the small holidays, and self catered don't (hence the week difference). If you put down that you would like a flat, then that flat is payable by you only, as it is an individual flat. However, all rooms that aren't individual flats are arranged in traditional flat-like layouts anyway. It all depends if you would like your own specific flat I guess.
