Hi Charlotte.
Congrats on your place :smile: I know I was hoping we'd have some sort of applicant visit day so we could find out what was going on and meet people!
What are your plans for accommodation? Are you going into halls?
Martha



No halls, moving into a rented place with my husband in September. Haven't seen or done anything since the interview really!

No I'm not going into halls either. Need to find somewhere to rent! Hopefully they'll get in contact soon. Difficult to make any plans! Had an email about a bursary application recently so they haven't forgotten us! Did you receive it as well?

I'm starting mental health nursing in September :smile: Although I have a question. I can see a lot of you are staying in halls. How are you all affording it? My bursary would just about cover it without any extra money to live...:confused:
Im planning on starving myself! Haha. Not a clue how to fund it all to be honest. X

Hey thats great congratulations! Whats the conversion course? All the bursary stuff is on the nhs website just google it :smile: and you are entitled to a matinence loan I think you do that through student finance but its not very much compared to other courses! Hope that helped :smile: xx

Oh and sorry, the conversion course is because I am already a mental health nurse, so just need to do the last 2 years of adult nursing xxx

Yes, bursary seems to be lined up and ready to go, but not until we get started. Nice to have some more info now on the course site- at least I know what I'm doing for the first week! We found that places moved really quickly in Oxford, so if you see somewhere you like view it ASAP. I've had a few journeys from Cheltenham to see several places, only to get calls all the way there saying that several of them have gone. Very frustrating. If you need any info on areas just ask, I know a little more about Oxford now that i did a month ago!

How early did you apply for your accommodation? We're probably the unlucky 2 that they didn't have space for at Paul Kent! Haha

I applied as early as I could so I think it was like April sometime, so it's not like I applied late or anything! But oh well I guess we'll just have to make the best of Crescent! Do you know which room you are in yet? I just went to accept my offer and it says the system is down! So I won't know for a few more days :frown:

Yeah, i think i applied in June. I just logged on too to try and get a phone number to ring someone but their closed until tomorrow afternoon so i think they must be doing the rest of the allocations. I don't know wether to confirm it anyway or wait till Ive spoken to someone :/. Did they reply to your email? X
