I'm at University Court, it's close by :smile: I actually got my second choice (C, my first was D), but it's ok, I'll save some money and I don't really need an ensuite bathroom.
Has everyone had the details of the mature student day? The lady I am attending with has but I haven't and I was wondering if I should be concerned?

I'm a mature student as well and will be living on the dorms. I've been allocated at Manor Park, how about you?

Are there specific halls of residences for mature/phd students? I wasn't able to find any information about it.

No, but I think they try to pair you with "similar" students on your flat (for example, PG students living with other PG students). But I can't confirm it, as I have yet to find someone else from my house :P

Here it is officially classed as a student over 21 so you qualify :wink:


Guess technically I qualify then as will be 22 when I start but calling myself mature just seems wrong!

I've also heard that they try to put 'similar' students together, but haven't met others in my flat to confirm. :smile:

Final years and postgrads will not be put in the same flat as freshers and in general I think they try to keep an entire house of postgrads/final years.

Honestly mature is not a term I would usually apply to myself either! I've just taken out my lip ring & dyed my hair back to brown from purple in an attempt to be taken seriously :wink:

I havent heard about mature students from them yet. But they also only just shared the link to the welcome week.

I think the mature student day will be held before i can arrive, so it doesnt matter much.
