UEA Applicants 2016

Does anyone know if we get to find out who will be living in the same flat with us so we can talk beforehand and organise things or do we just turn up on the day and see?

When I was a fresher (I'm about to graduate this year) we met our flat on the day, however I think for this years cohort of freshers they were able to find out their flatmates prior to coming as there were official groups set up for each building so to speak and they would find people from there

As lilGem said, when you are sent your accommodation offer, you're shortly after sent an email which has a whole list of Facebook groups for each of the different flat blocks, which you can join. After I joined, I then posted saying who's in xx Flat xx, and then others who were just started replying. We then also set up a Facebook chat to get to know each other a bit before we arrived on the day! (I did also post on TSR, and someone from my flat did reply to me here as well!). We decided we wouldn't all bring pots, and that someone was bringing an iron, and that would be enough... One person brought a toastie machine (well worth it!).

Obviously, not everyone from your flat will join the Facebook group at the same time, or at all, and so there'll probably be a couple who you won't talk to before you arrive!

Thank you to you both! So excited

No worries!! Have you put UEA as your firm??

Yep. I got an unconditional offer for History

Hi! My name's Maya and I'm going to be doing English and American literature (with a year abroad) at UEA in September and was wondering if anyone else is since I can't seem to find anyone 😔

I'd love to find people on my course or similar courses!

Also random question but accommodation wise, what size duvet/mattress are the beds since I need to buy bedsheets 😂

In terms of accommodation, single size!! (They don't value us enough to get double beds )

Thank you! I thought they would be but I wanted to make sure haha!

LLM anyone?

I'm currently looking around unis to go to and wondering about UEA- where do you get your food from? Nearest supermarket is miles away!!

Hey!
I've firmed English Literature at UEA so hopefully we'll be doing similar modules
