    Accommodation Issue
    Hi, new to the forums and an Essex Uni Firmer.

    I may be a bit of an idiot though. I went to look at my accom confirmation email today, and I've noticed that two of my options are "Double Ensuite".

    Now, I honestly don't really remember applying but I thought I was simply applying to a more expensive version of the room. Eg, South Courts was the standard and Double Ensuite was simply a different, more expensive part of the South Courts.

    However, I think I've actually applied for a double room (as in, for couples). Please tell me this isn't true, surely I can't have been that stupid and I don't remember it saying "Double" when I applied, more like "Option B" or something. Honestly though, I can't really remember.

    What I'm basically asking is, have I applied for a double room? and if so, is there anything I can do to change my application? Cheers in advance.
