    Accommodation application submitted!

    A word of advice, every time I tried to submit the application on Firefox on my mac it came up with an error. So use safari.

    Wow, that's actually really helpful, thank you! Glad I put it down as my second choice now it's a lot bigger than I thought it would be. How many people are in a flat?

    Weird question, but do you have actual keys or electronic key cards?
    Thanks for the video, your room is awesome

    We have actual keys - one that opens the door of the block, the flat front door and the bedroom door, and another little one for our postbox thing at reception. I think all the halls still use keys, still haven't caught up with the electronic type!

    I made a quick edit to my accommodation application - I had Taly Court 3rd but realised I can't really afford it so changed it for Cartwright Court which was about 6th. Now I just need to apply for student finance ASAP and then it's just those pesky A-Levels to work for!

    I can't believe how long we have to wait to know which halls we are getting.. Even just a rough idea would be nice, It's so annoying!
