    Today is the day that we're finally allowed to choose our accommodation so, assuming you've got around to it, which accommodation have you chosen?

    Imagine how I feel about my foundation year tuition fees. Previously £1500.

    What's worse is that SFE have frozen 13/14 loan (which is all I get) at current levels. Really not looking forward to how tight it is going to be in my actual undergraduate years.

    I just received my offer accommodation for the South Towers, I will just take a glance at the contract over the next week or so before I accept it as I have until July 3rd to accept anyway. It's pretty awesome that insurance is included in the cost, and may well explain part of the increasing costs year on year.

    Ahh, I'm glad this thread exists!

    I'm trying to select my accommodations.

    I'm liking the Towers - but don't know how to rank them (South, North A, North B).

    Any suggestions?
