There's an email form '[email protected]' with the subject 'Applications are now open'. It should have your number in it.

Have you tried junk mail... I would email them quickly or call them up because if you haven't got accommodation sorted by midnight tonight, you won't be guaranteed a room.

It's sunday today, tried calling them this morning and it didnt work,I kinda knew that I would miss the deadline and have to wait for the second round

Is it me or Bristol accommodations are a bit... i don't know... more expensive and look worse than other universities? e.g Warwick

From the photos from the website I was really put off by the thought that this is where im going to stay for the next 3 years, what are your thoughts?

Well I don't know, I haven't really looked around much. Bristol certainly looks better than York and I guess you are buying into the city as well as the accommodation. I'm quite looking forward to living in Bristol but I guess I'm from a small town and not used to much.

Turned out I didn’t need to apply for accommodation because it’s my insurance. Although I’m pretty sure that I’ve missed my firm.. Thanks for your help though!!

Are there any postgraduates who've heard back about their accommodation application?

That's ridiculous! Apparently I'm going to hear back mid August, which is a bit late to find an alternative. If you're guaranteed and haven't heard back yet then I have no hope haha. What a nightmare! Can't believe how organised this whole thing has been.

Ill have to make do with whatever I get. But it would be too hard to rent anyways and the postgrad housing matches with my program start and end dates anyways. I just emailed them and they said I should get my offer soon as theyre giving them out now. Fingers crossed!

Yes to everything except the last question as I am a postgrad and there are no results for me to submit. The housing office said they are having technical difficulties with the postgrad applications, hence why theyve been so slow to send them out

Does anyone have any experience/comments/random facts about the following accommodation blocks?:
Manor Hall
New Bridewell
Orchard Heights
Richmond Terrace
The Courtrooms
Winkworth house?

Additionally, if anyone has anything to say about ensuite bathrooms, and studio kitchens, I'll appreciate it! :biggrin:

Anyone have any opinions on Unite House and Hawthorns?

All I’d say is definitely avoid New Bridewell. They’ve had issues with plumbing/internet/electricity for years.
