    Edge Hill Applicants 2012
    Hey

    I've firmed my conditional offer to study Law and Criminology at Edge Hill and wondered who else is planning on going there, for whatever course?

    Also, what accommodation's are you looking at, I'm hoping to get Forest Ct en suite or founders/graduates but I'd rather have the cheaper ones

    I'm going to complete my 3rd year for Computing, don't particularly want to travel so I'm definately sorting out accommodation there.

    I'm definately going with Self Catering.

    Here are my possible options,

    • Forest Court - £76 per week - Self Catered (En Suite)
    • Forest Court - £69 per week - Self Catered (Shared)
    • EM Butterworth - £56 per week - Self Catered (Shared)


    Unsure which one to choose, with one I get more privacy, and the others I have a bit more money to spend.

    Did you live on campus for your first year?
    And I considered forest Court shared but really want an en suite!
    I heard some more accommodation will be available for September, I wonder if we will have the option to apply for that too?

    I lived with my parents for those 2 years.

    I have just decided to go with the Forest Court Ensuite as well.

    Says that the application forms will be available on the 7th of March here, I would phone as well to get more information.

    01695 584253 (internal ext: 4253).

    Currently looking at doing Law with criminology at Edgehill too, though the applicant visit on the 7th march will be the decider.

    I was going to wait until after wednesday too, but I decided I really didn't want to go to my other choices any more and firmed it. :rolleyes:

    I hope they show us everything on wednesday, so we really know what it would be like to study there, some uni's applicant days have been said to be pretty poor

    I'm going with parents too

    and fair enough, I'm going for cheapest en suite, the thought of sharing a bathroom scares me a little, but i'm a bit of a freak with that sort of thing

    You should get it, a lot of people prefer to be in mixed so not sure what demand is like for those halls..

    Do you live far from the uni? You stand more of a chance of getting your first choice if you do

    I'm not really sure how much it will help but an email said if oversubscribed, campus accommodation applicants will be priorotised on factors like the distance of their house from the uni..

    So I guess it can only be a good thing
