University of Leeds Accomodation 2011

lol!
i'm gonna be doing dentistry, can't wait!

some people who have lived at charles morris have said they've loved it and social life has been great.
i guess you hear more about james b and tannery (popular with dentists and medics) because it's been around longer and there are more opinions to be heard, whereas charles morris and particularly storm jameson is newer.
i think the social life aspect will be how you make it and who you're with.

How do you know james b and tannery are popular medic choices?

Did people get their accommodation form soon after they firmed Leeds?

Reason being the email account I previously had linked with UCAS/Track is inactive, and was at the time I replied to my offers. I've now changed the email to an active one, but I think I may have missed an email or two?

hello you

Hello got your drinking money stashed up yet?

Haha not yet but it's going really well now. Averaged 60 hours a week over last month

Ouch, you'll be ready for the medic lifestyle... or the long student days out and the long nights of partying I have no idea how money will be yet... so far I have £2,300 a year to live off... could be interesting

i didn't get in for medicine but you'll get paid on the job tho right? I have just over 2k as well but if i keep this pace up and not spend too much i can get another 6, plus 1500 engineering scholarship

I know that but I thought that was still your ultimate goal? Sorry, wasn't trying to rub it in or anything! Yes but I'll have to pay a **** load for a car possibly and won't get any finance... so I have absolutely no idea how much I'll have to live off each month. Plus if I have to live somewhere like Grimsby I'll have to rent somewhere privately and pay bills, which could get pricey... I just want to know already so I can figure it all out! Thinking pre-drinks will be the way to go plus meeting naive young black men who will buy everyone's drinks

Oh right, lol. Thanks , wow it sounds pretty harsh, I'm just getting some to cover tuition and most of my accommodation. You don't have much left to go now. What are you doing right now? Working or anything? I don't think I'll bother with a car. Only in she coming home with me lol

Working 2 days, studying 3 but only 3 exams to go How's the old folks home? I really hope I won't need a car would much prefer it if I can just stay in Leeds for everything! Will mean much more moneyz left over too! Haha, or at least, if you think she's going home with you... Think everyone on TSR will be looking out for you!

Access course but nearly done now can't all have the luxury of gap years ha, fair enough, thats a useful skill - you can help me out with that one I think, avoid the weird ones haha, not that you're shallow or anything

Might apply for devonshire self catered :P Anyone know if the self catered buildings (Grosvenor Blocks A, B, C and D, North Lawn and the Orchards) are like the Hogwarts style catered buildings like old hall? Also how many people share a flat (EDIT my bad 3-5, dosnt seem like very many :P) and is it a very sociable hall?

And there still is.

I'll usually only chip in if nobody else can answer a question or if someone says something that isn't right.

But you're absolutely correct about allocations. It's not first come first served; when we allocate the unconditional students, we set aside a proportion of all the accommodation (so if 25% of people are unconditional, we allocate 25% of the places at Dev, 25% at Bodington etc etc, leaving the remaining 75% for the 75% of people who are waiting for results). So everyone should have the same chance - if you don't get the place you want, it will usually be because too many other people want it as well.

Feel free to ask questions, anyone.

Hi I am an IB student and get my results on the 6th of July, when would I hear about which accommodation I'd been allocated, given that I got my offer?
