Hello :smile: i also received an accommodation form last week and I also put self catered en suite as my preference. We could be neighbours! I put in an open application so you can imagine how lucky I felt on the open day, Good luck in the rest of your exams and I hope to see you in October! Ps. you can come to my first flat party wherever i may be living :smile:


ohhh yay the person I have on facebook wants seld catered ensuite too! She hasnt had her form yet which perhaps shows a trend of those who were allocated to St Cuths getting first dibs before those who chose it as their college. Only three exams left Im still not sure on the * I need but Biology is my best bet and its my last exam this friday! I don't want to get to know loads of people going then have to tell everyone I didn't get in argh that flat party sounds fun! :-) fingers crossed and good luck with your exam too if all goes well I shall see you there :biggrin:

Hey I sent my accom form back a few days ago now with the same first choice and haven't received any kind of conformation of them receiving it so am a little worried now! Did you send it via email?


hey, self catered ensuite seems the most popular option :biggrin: I hope we all get it and I sent mine by email yes, I sent mine the 9th of june and got confirmation the 11th pretty speedy. Im sure yours is just taking longer as more people have started to reply now so she has to work her way through them which I imagine takes some time so Id give it a few more days :smile:

Hmm maybe but I joined the Durham firmer's page on Facebook and I think most people have received accommodation forms, maybe your friend should send them an email asking for one? I don't think its that big of an issue they don't allocate them until after the results are out. Ooooh good luck, Im beginning to regret joining the facebook page as I completely messed up my history exam so when people will be like 'yeahhh see you in october' I'll be sat there like 'soz guys ive had a career change becoming a binman instead' I'n not that bothered about sharing a bathroom but the rooms looked nicer in Brooks House than they did in Parsons Field hahaha. :smile: Fingers crossed though!

I'll say to only leave it a bit longer before she asks because more people have got the email :smile: but yeah we dont find out till late september! hmm I did history wjec didnt like 2/3 questions but felt it went quite well idk :/ I need my * in history or biology and im relying on it in Bilogy atm! You'd never be a bin man Im sure you'll get the grades and hmm I agree it seemed maybe a bit more modern idk I would be fine with either aswell as long as I get self catering :biggrin: (if I get the grades :L )

I have, so thank you :') I didn't really know anything about it - I didn't think I stood a chance so never looked into it :L Amazed I was even considered!
Name: Lizzie
College: Hild-Bede
Subject: Sociology
Offer (conditional/unconditional): AAB Conditional
Why Durham?: It's incredibly beautiful, nad I love the riverside setting of my college. My coach from back home also coaches up in Durham, so I can keep with the same coach even though I'm moving 5 hours away, which is a definite plus! And of course the reputation of the uni too.
Other: So terrified of not getting in cause I want it so badly! Anyone else going to Hild-Bede?
