    I don't have problems with boys, they're alright. It's just dad's heard horror stories about boys forcing girls to cook for them etc.

    I've got an unconditional too and have been randomly reading that unconditionals get allocated 1st, hope so :P! I read somewhere that unconditionals will be told in July and conditionals shall be told after their results
    That's exactly what I read! Hopefully that means it's more likely to be the case

    ... Actually, I've just done a bit of digging around on the Sheffield website and it says right here that unconditionals get allocated first in July. hurray!

    Have people put location or type of room as their priority when applying? To get endcliffe would it be better to prioritise the location?

    You can also pick mixed gender, if you don't want to be with all boys. You can always meet up with girls in other places, too
    other places? :sexface:

    I put location as I definitely want to go to Endcliffe. Don't mind if they make me pay a little extra for an en-suite, will like it either way!

    Endcliffe has alooooooooooot of en-suite rooms so if you put Endcliffe as your location choice you will still have a great chance at getting there! Also don't know if it makes a huge difference but we applied kinda early so that should help too!

    actually, it doesn't matter if you apply early or just before the deadline.

    Firmed Sheffield for Medicine
    Applied for Studio at Ranmoor with location being my priority.
    In other words, I'm either getting the singles' studio OR an en-suite

    Does anyone know how they actually choose who gets what accommodation?
