    Accommodation preferences?
    I just applied for accommodation 2012 and entered my choices in the little drop down box sections. Does the order you enter the accommodation choices matter?? I mean is that the order of your preferences ie is the top one is your first choice?
    Did I do this wrong by entering them not in preference order?

    Yes, they are meant to be in preference order. However, I remember being able to email the accommodation services and change your choices. Call or email them, and tell them the mistake you have made; they should be able to amend your application for you

    Ahh thank you! I wasn't sure and only realised after I had sent it.
    I've emailed them now so hopefully that will all be fine

    Kind of relevant to this thread, I guess: Do you have to fill all the options for accomodation?

    You only have to fill in 4, if I remember correctly.
