That happened to me and I firmed on friday early morning, but It worked for me this morning so that 4 days. It might just be a time thing? I was gonna phone them today if it still didn't work but I managed to apply today.

I just applied for mine and they said that you can do a 9 month contract and you would pay monthly installments for 7 months.
But there are other options as well.

Ah that's brilliant, thanks :smile:

where did you apply?

Hi, do you think that it is better to apply as early as possible or is it ok to apply somewhen in June? I know I have guaranteed accomodation, just thinking if the best choices wouldn't be already assigned at that moment. Btw, anyone for Computer Science here?

offers start to be made in May, and slightly favour unconditional offer holders. however it is not based upon a first come first served basis (just do it before may i guess :P). and yeah i'm studying computer science :smile:

I have a unconditional for law and german... and am looking at the normal priced accommodation, ie, kincaids, college wynd and warrender crescent etc.

Nichsolson street is perfect location but I've heard its crazy loud?

Can anyone give an accurate review of these places? Most importantly, can you actually meet people there?? My friends in chancellors and it can happen that people just stay shut in their rooms ..with single room/en suite/catered halls
Thanks!

I've just firmed Edinburgh. I'm pretty sure I want to go for catered accommodation - anyone else thinking the same?

Got an Unconditional to study Animation at the College of Art. Are there any other art school students on here? I am thinking of applying to Portsburgh Court, Deaconess, Sugarhouse Close, Mansion Fountainbridge and Kincaid Court, in that order. If anyone has any useful info on these choices, that would be much appreciated. Looking for lively and sociable halls :smile:

Dumb question, but which houses/halls have a reputation of being posh? I know Chancellor's Court and John Burnett obviously, but what about self-catered?
