    I still havnt been contacted about accom for leeds, is this the same for anyone else?
    I haven't been contacted yet either. I read somewhere that they send out letters after the 31st of August but I'm not sure.

    Hi guys,
    I finally got my accomodation contract through a couple of days ago and will be living in Henry Price as of September - Staircase E (E2.04).

    Please contact me/quote me if you will be in the same flat or close by as I'd love to get to know some of you before the big move!

    I got my accommodation offer earlier for Montague Burton and I was wondering what is provided with the room. (eg. curtains, desk lamp etc.)

    check your junk folder, they don't seem to make this clear enough, but it can end up in there. this is what happened to me last year.

    Whetton House
    So I've been popped into Charlie Mo - Whetton, but everyone seems to be in that new Storm Jameson place. Is anyone else in Whetton or do I just have a whole building to myself?

    Gap year accomodation?
    Hi,
    I'm currently taking a gap year and was wondering if anyone knows if people who've been on a gap year get grouped together accomodation wise, or if everyone's mixed together? Am worried about being older than everyone else as I was born fairly early in my year!

    I know someone who went to Leeds after a gap year and everyone else in her flat had taken a gap year (she was in Lupton.)

    Oh righty! I know someone currently in Lupton who said quite a lot of people there had been on gap years, maybe that's just popular with gap year-ers lol

    Alright mate,

    I'm a 1st year Leeds student living in Bodington. I took a gap year last year and took up my deferred place in September; was concerned about being the only 'Gap Yah' as well.

    A few points really...
    1) Loads of people have been on gap years, you wouldn't actually believe it. I swear there's one of us on every floor.
    2) Nobody really cares. A good proportion of freshers will be 18, but a sizeable amount will be 19, or just turned 19... some people are in their 20s, a few are old age pensioners! The 'class of 09/10/11' distinction wears off too... whilst I'm a school year older than most of my mates, I have a March birthday, so half of them are 'my age' now.
    3) As far as I've experienced, gap year allocation is fairy even and random... but there are concentrated pockets of older students. Speaking in terms of Bodington, there's a few flats in McClurkin which are full of Gap Yahs... Barbier has a load of Australians for some reason... I think the accomodation people make the effort

    You definitely won't I'd say at least half the people I've met aren't 18, just left school type people!
