They sent me an email and a link back to the page we applied through, the 3 choices turn into an offer, and asks for the deposit.

It was kind of nice actually - once accepted there's a little briefing/induction this to read through regarding your halls.

You'll get it soon I expect: I had my offer a week before results day because I've come in from an access to HE diploma. :smile:

I applied a short while before the initial guarantee deadline, I think mid July...

It's all very exciting! I think I have most of what I need, but very much looking forward to a change of scenery. I intend to bribe everyone with baked goods during freshers week. :biggrin:

Ive had an offer for Radford house in rowancroft. Im annoyed because it wasnt any of the 3 id applied for and i really wanted to be on campus.

Just curious, how old is everyone here?

And im doing theology and religion.

Oooooo cool!

Yeah i'm gonna have a look at the older threads and see what people have said. I'm grateful that I do have accomodation, I just really wanted that campus community. I have been put on a waiting list in case any rooms con campus become free (not very hopeful though).

I'm mostly annoyed because I don't see any point in why we have to choose 3 preferred halls to be told that not one of them has a place for me, especially since I made sure I applied the very first day applications opened. It should be first come first served imo.

Ah thats not old, i'm 21 so also a mature student. I wonder if non mature get preference for on campus accommodation...

I'm at Radford House too!

Looking through old threads it seems as though quite a few students hoping to be based in the Streatham campus end up over here instead. You have my sympathies; it sort of defeats some of the convenience of halls, but from what I understand the walk shouldn't be much more then 30 minutes.

I'm a mature student, slight oldie at 27.

This is mad as Im going to exeter for medicine so I would have all my lectures etc at st lukes but i am yet to be offer any accommodation so I could potentially miss out on rowan croft! Would defo be willing to swap if I end up elsewhere, not sure why they would put streatham based people who hadn't applied there instead of people who put it first choice?!

I would definitely be willing to swap if you get an en suite at streatham campus. Are you allowed to do that?

It does seem really silly tbh. I don't understand how that even works out. Makes no sense at all.

Yeah, I don't fully understand the procedure of picking 3 only to have none... I was under the impression that the Streatham campus was heaving with accommodation, so quite confusing.

Best of luck to you, just in case something does come up a bit nearer.

Well, if it's your first choice and it's only seemingly being used as spare, hopefully this means you'll be joining us! Best of luck and I hope they let you know as soon as possible.

I'll keep you posted, it might just be that they can't process everything at once and the offers trickle out? I know that some people usually end up at rowan croft even tho they are based at streatham because of oversubscription…but I've never heard of it the other way round! Heres hoping it doesn't turn out that way :tongue:
