I actually decided against ringing their office, i had a scout around the multiple correspondence i have off them and around friends that are going there and they all said July/August was when they allocate rooms etc. So my guess is that, as with other uni's (previous experience), if you live very far away from your campus they mark your application as priority or something similar. So its more or less certain you'll have a place before they even allocate.
well either way the numbers there for any who want to give it a try i used it just confirm that i had my en-suite

what did you think of your first year at Stafford then inebriatedgoldfish (sorry, forgot your name)..?
Tara and no problem
I enjoyed it as soon as I got a good group of friends round me. It took a while to get used to some of my fellow students. I'm used to eccentrics, but I'm not used to men running away when I say "hi"
. Or being the opposite and just not leaving me alone (gotta see the funny side).I have very few complaints with the course and overall its been a good experience
Bonyjoe
wow... crazy coincidence
I know it really is, then again the fact that were all good friends is odd enough considering we meet on here

I cant be bothered fill it all out, but I will keep it brief. Doing my 3rd year at Stoke. Made a good circle of friends. Down to earth guy. And you will always find me getting junk food from the Uni Shop as well as the smoothies (I have one like everyday 
)
Really? Never really heard of any people on TSR becoming real life friends. Thats quite interesting and good to hear too.
