Which accommodation have you booked: Peverell A0053
Why did you pick this accommodation?: Okay price and not too far from the library and lecture halls
Any questions about this accommodation?: on the moving in day where will the residence manager be to collect the keys? also any idea when the peverell facebook page will go up? thanks

Hi SamuelJThompson,

When you arrive, you will collect the keys for your room at Peverell's reception. If I remember correctly, it's really easy and quick to collect your keys!

Also, the latest Facebook group for Peverell is below:

There aren't a lot of members at the moment, because booking has just opened up in the last week, but once conditional offer-holders can book, the activity on the group will definitely increase! :h:

I hope this helps, and let me know if you have any more questions!

Thanks,

Ellen

Hi, when booking accommodation is there any way of booking with friends also attending the uni to ensure you're in the same flat? Thanks

I was just wondering what happens if you make Trent your back-up choice? As in will you still get to choose your accommodation after results day, and are the popular areas filled by other students already? It just seems like loads of people have already got their accommodation so I'm a bit worried that if I go I wouldn't get my first choice of halls.

Hi georgiaoreilly,

Sorry I seemed to miss this post yesterday!

When the booking system opens, you have the choice of booking which room in which flat in which halls of residence. So if you team up with your friend and book at the same time, discussing beforehand which halls of residence/flat you would like to live in.

However when the booking system opens, it is really busy, and there could be the chance that some halls of residences could sell out really quickly. So you may have to move quickly, or be a bit more flexible on which halls you would like to live in.

I hope this helps, and let me know if you have any more questions!

Thanks,

Ellen

Hi Crmr1996,

If NTU is your insurance choice then you won't be able to book your accommodation on 16 March like the applicants who have chosen NTU as their firm, because of the high number of applicants.

On results day, if you don't get the results needed to get into your first choice (which hopefully won't happen!) and your place at NTU is confirmed, then you will be able to book accommodation.

Unfortunately, our popular accommodation is usually fully booked, but on results day some students will not get the results needed for NTU and have to cancel their accommodation booking. So I recommend that if you do confirm your place at NTU, ring up accommodation as soon as you can, for an increased chance of getting the halls you would like. However, I can't guarantee that you will be able to book your first choice of halls.

I hope this helps, and let me know if you have any more questions!

Thanks,

Ellen

Which accommodation have you booked: Blenheim.
Why did you pick this accommodation?: decent price for what you get and close to city campus.
Any questions about this accommodation?: I've heard a lot of bad things about St Ann's Hill so I'm just wondering whether it's as dangerous as people make it out to be? Also I was wondering whats your view on blenheim?

Hi Abrisriphumkhai04,

St Ann's does get a bad rep! However, in my opinion, it really isn't as bad as it's made out to be! Unfortunately every inner city suburb does come with a bit of crime, but as long as you're sensible and don't walk home by yourself at 3 in the morning, then you won't have a problem!

Blenheim seems like it's nice accommodation! I personally have never visited, but I have chat to a few people who have lived there and they have enjoyed it! It is up quite a big hill (which some people have complained about) but it is really convenient for shops with their being an Aldi at the bottom of the hill, and Victoria Centre in between Blenheim and the city site.

Like you said above, it's not too expensive and the walk to the city site isn't too long!

I hope this helps, and let me know if you have any more questions :h:

Thanks,

Ellen

I am starting university again in September at Nottingham Trent but this means I won't be able to book into accommodation till April. I like the look of Sanby, Gill Street and Byron but am scared these will be fully booked by then. What are my chances of getting a room in one of the above?

Hi Carlyamelia52,

Unfortunately, all of these halls are very popular, and when booking opens there is usually a huge influx of people booking these halls. So I can't guarantee that these halls will not be fully booked. However, as long as you pay your booking fee by 31 July, you will be guaranteed an offer from university-allocated accommodation, although it may not be your first choice in halls.

I hope this helps, and let me know if you have any more questions! :h:

Thanks,

Ellen

Thanks for your help! Do you know whether it is possible to go on a waiting list for certain halls?
