York Applicants 2012!!

Have to agree, from being a second year the system isn't very fair as they put aside rooms for each set of emails are sent out, so I'd watch your emails like a hawk and once you get it run to the nearest computer and apply xD I say this because my friend missed out of Goodricke by 5 minutes!

Hi there everyone. Got my results, got the grades I wanted and now I understand on Monday I have to upgrade my account? I have just been on the phone to one of the IT and they have sorted out my account so I can upgrade it.

I understand on Wednesday that I have to apply for accommodation - where can I research where I should stay? Is everyone else going to apply for accommodation then or have some people done it already? Or is this only people with unconditional?

I'm really confused, I never thought I'd get into York uni so I never did the research as I thought it would just be a tease in case I didn't get the grades, please help!

Where can I find out wheres good and wheres not? When do I chose what college to join?

Got my grades, missed the offer by 1 but they still let me in!

Hi! Congratulation for getting in!

I was one of those who got to choose the accommodation on 6th August (I also chose New Vanbrugh btw ) and as far as I know uni released only few rooms from each college and it should have saved a lot more for those applying on 20th August (or else that would be very unfair for you) so I wouldn't worry so much, I'm sure there should be still a full set of rooms available in each college for you BUT you must apply for it as soon as you get the email with all the instructions. However, the system will choose randomly emails, so you actually have no idea when exactly you may get it, but keep looking for it. I got mine very fast and so far everyone got theirs very quick too and this year the system is working better in the previous year or so I have heard.

Good luck, we may end in the same college

Lucky you, glad you managed to get a room there. I've been through the application process now and I got the room I wanted, too, so I'm feeling a bit better about the whole thing. I do believe we are now officially in the same college .

Thanks MPN . I'm in the Barbara Scott Court, flat F7. Are you nearby?

Oh, thanks for letting me know. Are these freshers tickets and wristbands for all the clubbing and stuff during freshers week? I have no idea what social events are taking place, but I'm likely to avoid anything that includes alcohol and partying.

Also, do you happen to know whether or not the university permits sleepovers? I was wondering whether or not it would be okay for my girlfriend to stay over on a weekend.

Yep, we are pretty close then, I'm in Donald Barron Court, flat A7

I know what you mean, I'm not too much into partying and drinking either But I will try to attend any other events as much as it is possible. These tickets/wristbands will give you access to all events, such as movie/quiz nights, entry to pubs/clubs and more. I'm also waiting to see the full list of events first to see if it's worth buying at all.

Sleepovers? I heard that many people do that and it's ok as long as it's just for 2-3 days max. You should be fine

I was wondering about this and it must be fine! Unless you kept someone there for weeks I'm sure they'll turn a blind eye. Or I hope they will anyway

The website says it's 2/3 nights but I've known people who have stayed over for a week or so. As long as your house mates are okay with it then you'll be fine
