Insurance accommodation

The accommodation office says all offers of accommodation should be made by this Friday (9th). I wondered whether any insurance students have heard anything yet? That will be four weeks since results day - the wait is far too long.

Ah, I saw some people get put into David Collett too on facebook. still haven't received anything, i guess that means they're finding places for me (and those who haven't received) still. Is it an en suite you got?

Yeah I haven't heard anything yet either, they said it's taking longer because of the bank holiday

I put catered ensuite for all of my preference choices but got given standard catered. So I assume that's all they have left?

Still waiting.

Still waiting. I guess it's going to be the last possible day (tomorrow) now. Anyone else heard?

Still haven't gotten it and they said by 2pm lmao this is actually becoming a joke. Watch even if I do get an email it will be "oh sorry we'll tell you next week" or "sorry go find accommodation by yourself"

Just rang them. It seems "by 2pm" actually means "at 2pm". I'll probably scream if the email is not an offer or is another delay. What a ridiculous system.

Now had an email saying they'll make offers by 15th September. Absolutely unbelievable!

I'm pissed tbh watch how we get temporary accommodation or some ****, I don't get why we have to struggle when we're the ones who actually CHOSE the uni. I could've gone through clearing by now tbh

Completely agree.

Hi everyone

I've been in touch with accommodation and they have provided the following statement:

"We do appreciate that this is a stressful time for both students and parents and endeavour to keep students updated on the current situation. We are still in the process of allocating rooms to insurance students on a daily basis as rooms are becoming back available. Over 2/3rds of insurance students have now been offered accommodation. Please rest assured that we are working hard to ensure that all students are allocated a room as soon as possible. We have advised all insurance students that no student will need to be referred into town this year."

Hope this is helpful - fingers crossed you'll all get your offers soon :smile:

Thanks Amy. The truth at last. Why could they not just say that there are no rooms left now, apart from those becoming back available? They say they have a formula for allocating rooms, but it's a strange formula that gives catered accommodation to those who want self catered, whilst those who really want catered end up with nothing. Every step of the way has been very dubious, to say the least. They need a new way of doing things which is fairer and more logical. Someone on Facebook says that last year he found out his accommodation on the day of arrival, on his way to the University. Madness!
