Hey guys

I have recently received a conditional offer from Sunderland and I have chosen this am my Firm choice via UCAS and now I am trying to apply for accommodation. When I go onto the Sunderland website I have clicked on the link to apply for accommodation and I am re-directed to a log in where it states I need my Student ID and I should have received it on my offer letter, I have the letter but no student ID. I rang the Admissions Team to enquire and was told the Student ID was just my UCAS number. After receiving this information I tried to log in but no luck.

Is there a different Student ID that I need to apply for accommodation?

Im getting a little frustrated and worried cause If I attend Sunderland i'll be moving across from N.I and really need to be sure I have Halls sorted out.. sooner rather than later, you know.
:smile:

Have you made sure you copy the entire number and without the dashes? My UCAS number worked for me.

Hello All!!

I decided that since the university doesn't have its own section that it atleast needed a group!

Hopefully this will be the place for people to come to ask questions about the uni, talk to people who have attended or currently attend the uni and find other people who are interested in coming to the university!!

I myself am a current foundation degree student in my 2nd year going on to do my top-up year next year and I am also a Student Ambassador! So feel free to ask me questions and I'll do my best to answer them!

And if you are a past or present Sunderland student please help to pass on what you know and love about the University!

xx

Hiya! I left you a message on your profile, but I'll drop you one here as well! I've got my student ambassador assessment centre next week, do you have any tips? Thanks! :smile:

Mini-fridges and kettles in your actual bedrooms are not allowed as far as I know. I know this is the case in The Forge and Clanny House, but not sure about the other residences.

He's right. you get kettles toasters fridges etc in the kitchens, and if you bring your own the kettle nazis will take them away.

even if you put fake PAT test stickers on and pretend they're uni's. They know.

I've applied for Journalism and got an unconditional a few days ago. Went to the open day on Saturday, and I have to say, the university really stood out to me, the staff were friendly and helpful, and it just had an all round good atmosphere.

From the existing students point of view, what is it really like? :smile:

Hello and welcome to TSR. You can try reading student blogs, that might help to get a good sense what your university years might be like, as they give you a huge insight into their daily lives. University of Sunderland done a wonderfull job setting up their lives online website, where 6 students each year share their stories. http://livesonline.sunderland.ac.uk/ original website.

For you there were two students writing a blog about their life in sunderland and english course (eventhough they both studied joint course with english, not a straight english course; but still helpeful):

Yes, you will have inspections. I only had 1 in my entire year last year at The Forge.

Stay clear of millfield, Azalea Terrace can be ok, Ashbrook is good , the housing over the road from City Campus is of a decent quality generally.

I mean all in all it's student accommodation, your not going to get an exceptionally high standard, don't stress to much over your area as long as it's within twenty minutes walking distance...and it's not millfield.
