I have a specific hall that i would like to live in but you cant apply to individual halls through the website. but is there a way i could get around this by emailing or something?
Dont think so. They scrapped the system they had last year where you could choose your halls so now its pretty much random. You could always try I guess but I doubt you'd get very far.

You can put a specific hall in the preference box, or email them after and they consider it, but give no guarentees.

The preference box is on the 3rd page of the application form. Put your preferred site and bedroom types down first and then go to the next page.
Open the individual requirements box and enter the hall name you prefer. As Cermo said, this is just a request not an application for the specific hall. We will look at your request but don't expect to get it.

When I applied to the UCL accommodation office I send off a paper application. You couldn't choose halls, but I wrote in the margin 'could you please put me in X hall if possible?' or something like that, and they did

Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere, but do you know how the experiment with letting people chose halls has "failed", exactly?
It didn't require extra work really. In fact by stopping the hall requests we are seeing a tonne more work for us when we start allocating. Mainly because everyone is putting a note on requesting this hall and that hall.
Like I said though, I really, honestly don't know the reason why it has changed.
Why do you want specific halls? Friends? I think they just randomize it, but I'm sure if you call accommodation then they'll put your name down or something.

I was set on random hall, but I do have a cousin who went to a hall and it was very nice. Who do I email to see if this can sway my hall decision? also I was offered Derby hall in 2010 but deferred a year instead. Definitely regretting not trying my luck now.

No such luck I'm afraid. Alumni requests must be immediate family.
