    I have not recieved confirmation either, however when i applied it clicked straight off saying i could no longer access the page and had applied so i emailed them to ask what i had a pplied for and they said because i had already stated John Snow in my original application and have no requirments they have just assumed i was a mixed flat in john snow accom and i replied saying that was fine so i wouldn't worry about it. Just email them and double check
    Will do, thank you! I just had a horrible feeling I had not actually applied! I sent my application off 20th of march, do you know when it actually opened? I emailed an admissions person on february 21st and she said it would open about 4 weeks after that. However, exactly 4 weeks after that email I applied and the application was already online. Im just wandering whether I've applied late?

    Nooo i think thats around when i applied too because id had my letter from John snow with a link to apply for accommosation which didn't work at teh time so i emailed them and they said they hadn't launched it yet and it would be going up in about a months time. Just email and say your not sure what you've applied for would it be possible to check But like i said with me as soon as i clicked on the process because ive already applied for John snow it was already down as mixed flat john snow so probably the same for you what you studying?

    Well, I'll choose College for sure. I believe sharing a hall with 6-7 people yet having your own room (which is en-suite!) is the best option. Aren't Mezzino's a bit away from the college?
