Applying to Bath Accommodation Late.

I applied to bath through adjustment for economics and got a place and have only just just applied to accommodation as it opened today. The only accommodation that is left is John Wood Court which I applied for anyway. I was wondering whether anyone else is in a similar situation and is considering other options like private accommodation??

Thanks,

Nathan

I have just applied for John Wood Court, but I'm a bit confused as to whether this means there are still rooms left there, or if it is just a default on the system for putting you on the waiting list? Because I kept reading that you're likely to not get any accommodation through the uni if you apply after results.

I have no idea to be honest I applied at 9 as soon as it opened to maximise my chances. I have heard exactly the same though. Are you looking to get shared private accommodation?
Yeah, if I don't get halls (and I'm doubtful that there's anything left in halls now) I'd try and find a few people to share a house with

Yes possibly I would like to see all my options before choosing one definitely. Problem is its difficult to know what is right and its also hard to find people interested in private accommodation!

Private message me if you can.

Yeah me too. I know they do a day on the 10th to organise this but I'd like to get some prep in before hand!

In the same boat. Given that John Wood Court has 176 places, and was the only one available, I'd say getting a place in halls is looking pretty unlikely.
The John Wood Court is just a generic waiting list for any accommodation so I was told, its not just those 176 places we have all applied to

Emailed the university accommodation contact and asked about it:

"Dear George,

You are correct with the application just being a generic application
and we will proceed to allocate people to rooms we have available. We
are currently unsure where we will have availability.

Best Regards,

Jordan Koulouris

Are there private halls left or are they all gone too?

If I don't get a place on the 1st I'm probably going to try and get a studio flat if there's any left
