Hi, congrats! I got my place today to study English Lang and Lit but haven't been allocated a residence yet-my first choice is Taly South. Apparently we should know within 5 working days :smile:

Haven't heard anything yet, really want either Talybont Court or Colum Hall. Really hoping the fact that those two have been the only ones I've seen confirmed here means they haven't been fully allocated already. Gonna see what I get and if I don't get into those two I'll go from there, I've got a month to sort it out so it should be OK.

I applied for residency in April and got my results thursday, people are saying give it 5 days after your results and call up.
I have seen a lot of people who have been allocated colum hall, im losing hope!

Yep. Makes you wonder what's taking them so long. Things are getting real frustrating now. I wonder if it would be possible to change my third choice from Talybont North to South because from what I've heard North is a bit of a dump.

Yeah, just go on Sims https://sims.cf.ac.uk/ and log in. Then go to University Residences and then Dashboard.

Though I wouldn't hold up hope for it. Seems Cardiff has allocated all their Colum Hall spaces already which is a really big shame, I'm just hoping it's not the same for Talybont Court but since it's the only other one people have gotten into (some two WEEKS before I could even get the chance) I'm not holding up hope either. You'd think that it wouldn't take that long. I applied on the 1st of May to make sure I would have a better chance.

Oh dear, im getting the message "unexpected error", just more to worry about!

Oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, my stomach dropped, dang, i thought as a law and politics undergrad in an accommodation best for law and politics students i may have got a good chance of getting a room. Quite worried about where i'll be now.
I hope you get allocated soon,
