Imperial College Accommodation

So...Fisher it is. *sigh*
It is really cheap (103 GBP per week) so I'll save a good 50 GBP from my most preferred choice of Weeks and I don't mind the 20 minute walk...it's just that....the single study bedroom looks a bit too cramped. Honestly, Fisher was the only one out of my 5 choices, that I wasn't really keen to go to...but I guess not much can be done now.
Is anyone else moving into Fisher?

Nothing wrong with Fisher

I got Xenia, but have no idea about it, heard that it was pretty far away from college but have good views, would it be inconvenient if I have no place to stay during the whole day at college? I thought if I was in Beit, I would have time to cook for myself during the lunch time, but now, I guess it might be impossible.

The accommodation offer is asking for the first terms sum (around £2400) by the 29th Sept, but we don't receive any maintenance loan/grant payments until early October when our attendance has been confirmed. I'm confused by this as most people will be paying with loans, what do the uni expect of people in this position?

I think the loan will come in before you start. I remember last year my loan came in a couple of days before I started.

My student loan goes in on the 28th... did you fill it all out in time? If not, that might be why you get it later. If you did it all on time, I'd phone up SFE and tell them about the situation.

On an unrelated note: twin room at Bernard Sunley anyone? Any older students know what Bernard Sunley is like? Looks nice from the pictures...

Ah just remembered I paid the deposit already. Guess I'm stuck :rolleyes:

None of my choices were twins, all singles! But at least it's an XL room (the highest price bracket for Southwell, so I'm guessing).

I deliberately put studying and sleeping as my favorite activities. Hopefully the other person will be compatible...

Anybody know if they tell us who we're sharing with before we actually turn up?

Yaay! Didn't apply for any twin rooms though and southside wasn't even one my choices, so random! The hall looks pretty nice though. Hope we both get great and compatible roommates :smile:

I probably would if I could (I'm under 18 so I can't share a room). I'll have to check out the virtual tour first, though.

Is anyone else going to Fisher? Also, is it worth emailing Imperial to re-allocate me to another hall? Or should I just deal with it?

Just wondering...do EU nationals qualify for the loan for tuition fees and accommodation fees or do you have to pay them yourself? Also, do you pay the same tuition fee as UK nationals (£9000) or as internationals (£24,500)?

i have the same issue, it says expected payment date is the 29th, on the student finance letters, the back page where it tells you what dates you'll expect the payments it says that the first payment will take 3-4 working days once our attendance is confirmed!?
on the e-service imperial are scheduled to take out money for accomidation on the 29th too!,
i registered online through the e-service, SO, does that mean i'll get my maintenance loan ontime? or when we turn up to the university do we have to do something special and confirm our attendance and the 3-4 working days start from then?....
