Accommodation

I got an email from brookes saying you would find out your accommodation on the 13 August but I haven't. I emailed them and said I should revive it shortly.
Is everyone having this problem or is it me.

It might just be you, I got mine yesterday saying I'd been accepted for my place in The Mews. However they seem to be pretty slow overall because I still haven't heard back from them after accepting my place with them. tbf in my experience with them they're not very good when it comes to keeping in contact with students.

I've never heard of The Mews until now so I assume it's new. I just checked the website and holy balls Β£169 a week? That is insane.

Yeah it's crazy. My loan wont even cover all of it, I'll need to earn an extra 2k or so to pay for it. Unfortunately you don't get much choice with these things.

46 weeks. I was hoping for the 50 week contract which is actually cheeper (around 6k) so that I could try and earn some money whilst its the holiday season.

Just phoned brookes and said they had no record of my application for halls even thought I got a confirmation letter at the end of April. They said I will get one of my 5 choice this but problem end up with the ones I don't really like.
