I heard private accom works out to be a rip off so be careful, and I was thinking city campus, I liked the Grosvenors :smile:

what A-levels did you take?

I was in exactly the same situation as you till today morning.. I applied for pharmacy too and was looking for a modern en suite accommadation near stopford building .. but anyways I ended up applied to

Weston Hall
Lambert Hall
St. Gilbert's hall

They are not very close to stopford but are the best choices if you are looking for a modern ensuite accommodation.. good luck with your application :biggrin:

if you get weston or lambert there is a free bus that takes you from outside halls to outside stopford and runs every ten mins x

private accom generally charge you for 50 weeks of the year whereas uni accom charges for 40 - just depends whether you plan on staying in manc over the summer. Additionally when it comes to 2nd year accomodation you'll find that private accom will overlap with your new tenancy and you end up paying two lots of rent :smile:

oo ok cool :-) Chemistry was fine (we did OCR, unit 4 in june, and unit 5 in january) ...Biology on the other hand is the subject which will cost me my place. I think I've got AAB but B in Biology :/ I'm sure you did fine :-)

Well I've got my fingers crossed for you :smile:

if it was a hard exam the grade boundaries will be low so you shouldn't have anything to worry about; my chemistry was with AQA and there were petitions and letters and complaints and all sorts over our exam so I'm pretty worried, considering I had to miss questions in the middle because I just had no idea, didn't even have anything to write down that could've gotten me marks :/ ah well, we'll see, good luck to you!

If I had the oppotunity to do it again - I'd go private. The standard of accomodation is much much higher :smile:
