All applicants within the M25 ring-road, especially after the first round of allocations, receive lower priority. Fair enough, I should think!

Plenty of us M25ers got our first choice. But yeah, going through clearing won't help.

a friend of mine didnt get any accomodation and he didnt go through clearing, that was for queen mary's though, but i think the policy for all london universities are the same

I just phoned the accommodation office this morning and they told me that application forms would be sent out within the next week or so, but definatley before term starts. One of the guys told me that i had a slim chance of getting a place, so im sure its the same for everyone else that has been accpeted through clearing and live within the M25. Anyone up for sharing???????? If anyone is serious PM me. I've been looking at some private accomm but I could do with someone sharing! :frown:

KCH generally has places available...

And you get lots of people dropping out after a week or two - deciding that they're homesick and that London and/or uni is not for them.

I'm not sure. take a look at www.housing.lon.ac.uk/ but i can probably tell you that north london flats are about £90-£100 p/w and the further into london u get the higher it becomes..most probably around £150p/w :frown:

i didnt get no confirmation letter either. Did the guy at the office say anythin else about allocations? They must have allocated the first round by now. this is proper long - uni startin in 2 weeks. I swear this must be the only uni that takes this long.

well i called them up again about 5min ago there so use less. apparently the first round of allocations will start next week. im so stressed about this and they jus seem to take longer. they also said that with clearing applicants its not first come first served basis but where you live. i hate the bloody m25 ring road
