Am I correct in thinking that on May 17th a letter with username and password is sent to all those that put Hull as firm / insurance, which you then use to log in and apply for accomodation?

Yeah, I do - Psychology. I'm desperate to do the Accommodation stuff too, since it'll be my firm. :P What about you?
I have an interview for Music on the 1st of Feb.
I live in the South, so getting there in the first place is gonna be interesting :P

From what I gather, Hull sounds like an alright university. I've heard mixed opinions abotu what it's actually like, but when I visited before, the campus seemed pretty nice :smile:

I know two people doing music here and they both really enjoy it.

I got in through clearing and wasn't really expecting to like it here, but actually it's great. The campus is nice, the areas around the uni are the complete opposite to what I'd heard about Hull before and I'm really enjoying it here.

Hi, I have an offer from Hull and will be going to the applicant day in March. I have been to an open day and really liked it but I am not making any final decisions on my firm/insurance choices until I have been to all the applicant days. One thing I would say, however, is that a good friend of mine is at Hull and their experience and that of their friends is that applying for accommodation early is absolutely no guarantee of getting first choice accommodation!! Nicholson (I am sure the spelling of that is wrong) is the only en suite and self catered accommodation at The Lawns and is very oversubscribed. My friend chose it as a first choice for accommodation and put other en-suite accommodation at The Lawns as subsequent choices. They applied as soon as their full password came through (which was the first day you could apply) didn't get any of their choices at all. However, their friend, also put Nicholson as a first choice and got it, having applied after my friend. This person had no medical or other reason to get Nicholson whereas my friend did, so I have to assume that the accommodation is a bit "hit and miss" and that it is done in no particular order.
I got an offer back in November for BSc Geography! :biggrin: 280 points :smile: I'm going the 11th Feb open day!

Not sure whether it'll be my main or my insurance... depends on whether or not Nottingham University gives me an offer. I'll be studying American Studies - 4 years

That's cool. :smile: I looked at Nottingham, but the offer was too high, and I preferred other unis over it. Very green though. ^_^
Does that mean you'll be spending a year in America?? I'm so jealous! I looked at English with American Studies at Manchester briefly, but decided I couldn't deal with another three years of English. :tongue:
Hull's definitely my firm though - it has a great course for Psychology. :smile:
