Official Nottingham 2012 Firmers!!

But it's not really fair. They opened the accommodation apps very early a month before all decisions SHOULD be in. I can't help it that certain places are dragging their feet. I applied in early October so I couldn't have given much more time. And a lot of Unis do allocate Unconditionals first as they know they will definitely be taking their place. I think I'll call admissions and see what they say. If I don't get UP I don't really want to come

Firmed it about an hour ago but I am getting

"You are not permitted to login because:

Our records indicate we are not your FIRM choice from UCAS."

When trying to apply for accommodation.

Worth giving them a ring tomorrow or will this sort itself out?

I don't know what the actual policy is, but it seemed that it was very much first-come-first-serve. The chances of you not getting UP is pretty low considering many who ended up on the waiting list got housed. One of my friends who had Notts as an insurance managed to get onto the waiting list and into a hall. I'm not saying you won't definitely, but I wouldn't leave it until May.

Hi, what would you say the latest you could apply for accommodation and still safely get UP?

Hello, I've firmed Nottingham and confused by accomodation. I know i want to go self catered but was wondering where others are applying..? I've heard there aren't as many first years at BGP is this true? and that most first years are at St. Peter's Court, which looks good but is so far away from university park, are the buses to and from uni really regular and convienient?? Any help would be much apprciated, thaaaaanks.

Are there specific types of UP catered accommodation that get filled up more quickly than others? I'm decided on firming whatever other offers I get but still have two replies pending and am keen on seeing the result of these. If I apply late march/early april, is it reasonable to say there will still be all room categories to choose from?

Wrong about BGP. Around 85% of the people here are first years and the rest are other years + postgrads. Bare in mind there are over 2200 people at Broadgate in comparison to the 300+ at St Peters Court, so I think you must've got your wires crossed at some point. But there are buses from St Peters are regular intervals to campus and back so if you did decide to go there you'd be able to get back and forward easy enough

SPC buses are free, run every 20 mins, and from 8am to 9pm.

Thanks, Yeah I'm getting quite confused by lots of different information! But thats really good to know! Do you by chance know anything about cost of taxis to BGP from town..? Or how late buses run from town to BGP? Thanks a lot for your help

Taxi from town to BGP is around £9 or £10, but if there are like 5 of you getting a taxi back then it's pretty much nothing. Friday and Saturday night, the buses run all night past BGP and then on weekdays and Sunday I think they run til like 1/4 to 1? But theres always the Indigo bus which although much more expensive at night, runs 24/7 The orange line buses (34/35/36/37) and the Y36 and Y34 are all £1 with your student id too.

hey you guys I was just wondering what your portal says? cause mine hasnt changed since I got my unconditional offer! Shouldn't it say I firmed or something atleast?
