    Hi everyone,

    I've been given a conditional offer for (5-11) Primary Education at Worcester my accommodation choices are:

    1. Platinum plus
    2. Platinum
    3. Gold plus

    I really want en-suite as well..

    I live about 2-3 hours away in Trowbridge, Wiltshire and I won't know anybody at Worcester, so would be great to get to know people before I go.

    same course and specialism as me

    Hi everyone,

    I've accepted a place for PGCE History and have no idea whatsoever where to start looking for accommodation - living on campus is not for me, so if anyone local could give me tips where to look online, that would be great. Also, any other PGCE History here? I only know of one other person and that's because I met them at my interview back in Dec.

    Ah right, are you friends with Gemmaj as she said she had a friend doing the same course.

    Do you know when we hear about our accommodation choices?

    I have a conditional offer for Archaeology and Heritage Studies and I've just applied for my accommodation:

    St Johns Platinum Plus
    St Johns Platinum
    City Centre Platinum

    This is mainly because I really want an en suite, haha!
    Hi I have an unconditional offer for Archaeology and Heritage studies, so I guess I'll see you in September!

    hi congrats on your offer. I'm doing primary education too so I'm guessing your offer is similar to mine - 320 points roughly ABB. What age specialism are you doing?

    Hi I've also made Worcester my firm conditional to study Accountancy.

    As for accommodation my preferences were:
    1. City centre area - Platinum
    2. City campus- Platinum plus
    3. St John's campus - Platinum
    Similarly because I also wanted en-suite, and my course is based at the City campus rather than the St John's campus.

    Oh, and I know someone that's just finished their first year at Worcester, but don't know anyone starting there in September.
