Rob, do you know what time the system will be up to book accomodation on Monday? ^^ really do not want to miss out by going on too late..

Hi nearlyywitches,

Sorry I haven't replied sooner, I'm only online during weekday office hours. We were not told what time the system was going to go live as a precaution to prevent the site crashing.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

If you have any more questions, ask away!

Thanks

Hi! I've gone to book my accommodation, clicked on pay deposit and it's being loading for ages. It's like it's stuck and this is happening to other people as well.

Same! I tried ringing but it says lines are busy arrgghhh!!!!

Hi,

The booking system is now open but due to the high volumes of transactions, it may take some time for your payment to be processed. You have up to 48hrs to complete your booking and full details are available here: http://www.ntu.ac.uk/study_with_us/accommodation/accommodation_guide/index.html?source=tsrrep.

Thanks,

Rob

Hi gracefewright,

If you have booked your accommodation, but been unable to pay today, your room and booking will be reserved for 48 hours. You must pay for your accommodation within 48 hours to fully secure your chosen room, or it will be re-released.

So in short, yes, you will definitely have the room you booked :smile:

Thanks,

Rob

Hi WestCountryLaLa,

Split level accommodation occurs with both Gill Street and Hamden. Because some of the accommodation is on a slope, the ground floor can apply to two floors sometimes. Basically, what appears to be the first floor can also be the ground floor due to the slope of the ground and its effect on the levels of the building. It is confusing and doesn't affect anything. It's just one of those technical terms that no one needs to know about aha. When I lived in Gill Street 2 years ago the slope had no effect on living there and I never heard about the split level accommodation.

Hope that helps!

Have you liked our Facebook page and tried out our app? It's pretty fun :smile:

Thanks,

Rob

Im in the same situation! My course is a Clifton but I'm staying on the city site cause it's close to the shops and nightlife - especially if you get a job etc. apparently the bus fair is £200 a year which is pretty good! Not sure on taxi. you wouldn't need it if you live in the city!

im doing the same! studying at clifton for education and early years and commuting from city :smile:

No worries, sorted it! ^.^

Quick question about Sandby halls: one of the facebook groups has a floor plan, and it looks as though there are 2 kitchens per floor and more than 1 'flat' (as there are over 10/12 rooms?).. so, is there a system as to who uses which kitchen, or do all of the rooms on the floor choose which kitchen they're using? (I'm really nervous about it being crowded as I have an eating disorder.. >.<)
