Manchester Accommodation FAQ + Accommodation Choices Thread Mark III

Rejected manchester may have a made a mistake here

Where's the best place for Maths/Physics majors? I can't figure this out...

Would it be better to pay the rent at the beginning of the year in one instalment? Or each term?

(I don't know why I'm looking into this, I don't even know if I'm going yet )

If you can afford it, it is best to pay it at the beginning of the year. If not, installments seem to be the best option for many students.

If you don't go to Manchester, what is your alternative option?

I should be able to afford it right at the beginning but it won't leave me much of my student loan left

And I don't have an insurance :/ Kinda regret that choice but everywhere else I applied wanted AAA whereas Manchester wanted AAB so my teacher told me not to have an insurance with higher grades
And clearing doesn't look too great for my course (psychology)

Oh! What is your firm choice then?

I've applied but now I want to change my options so I'll probably email them later today cause I don't think I wanna go Ashbourne anymore ; thinking of putting down Richmond park or maybe oak house idk

You need to do it ASAP. From the posts on here, it seems that the good ones are already going.

Good luck and no pressure!

I oringallt applied back in December and the accomdation office told me my original date in my application will stand if I make choices; btw I hold a conditional offer

December? I thought the accommodation applications opened in January? (maybe I have a bad memory idk )

nah it was like mid december cause I kept asking them when it was gonna open and i did it super early

Ah okay well unfortunately the website says
"no changes to your Hall preferences will be accepted after midnight on 24th July 2016." http://www.accommodation.manchester.ac.uk/applications/ (it's towards the end of the page)

So I think you have to stick with your choices now

oh my god NOOOOO ; I really don't want to go to ashbourne jesus christ that is very very peak. praying I get into my firm now. ashbourne is nice with massive rooms and is catered ect but the reviews I've read and the fact that its mostly females there really panics me. If i end up there now I'm probably gonna have to try and move accommodation but you have to wait till like october time i think.. well i guess I've just got to hope that if i do end up there that it isn't as bad as some people are saying I'm quite worried now but my fault for leaving it too late

I applied during the first week as well so I'm obviously gonna get given ashbourne, and even my second choice was ashbourne as well. ii really want to go to oak house . deffo will swap in october for sure . argh god

I'm going Ashbourne in September and I'm a guy. And what' wrong with majority girls? I feel like that just enhances the whole Uni experience.
