    Firmed them like 3 weeks ago and still no letter. Or email. They seem pretty disorganised from what I'm seeing.

    No letter for me either. Knowing my luck they probably missed me out.

    Re: Oxford Brookes Accommodation Thread 2012
    I'm still waiting for my accomodation letter I sent the confirmation letter in January to confirm my place and still nothing, they are sending the letters out in batches and not allocating on first come first serve basis either...still I'm anxious I really need to get it sorted out 3 months isn't that long if you think about it. Does anyone know how much the deposit is? I'm having to pay for it myself so I'd like to know as I had to send £350 deposit for my course. If its anything that expensive it'll leave a scar on my finances for a while.

    Brookes is my insurance choice but I received a letter yesterday reminding me not to forget to choose my accommodation, I thought you could only pick when it's your firm choice?

    Brookes do not allocate accommodation until after the results day and so they ask everyone to complete the forms and then they just remove the people who were not successful in gaining a place at the university.

    Anyone know when you're able to move into your accommodation?

    Induction week is starting 17th September

    First teaching week is starting 24th September

    Do you move in w/c 17th?? Or can you move in earlier?
