I've had an offer for Whitworth Park - Derby House. It was my third choice and I just realised I don't even get a sink in my room, so I'm a bit gutted seeing as how my first choice was en-suite :frown:

Anyone want to swap?

Heh, I applied for en suite aswell, but I do get a sink (thank God).

Just be sure to put your name on the transfer thing in October.

I wasn't even that fussed about being put in Whitworth, I've heard it's quite popular but being a girl I think I'd need a sink. Ah well, I'll just have to see what it's like when I get there. Anyone else in Derby House? I read that's where they room some post-grads too, so now I'm worried it will be harder to make friends. Someone please tell me I'm worrying too much. lol

How is accommodation allocated at Manchester? I mean I got none of my choices and I'm wondering whether its just bad luck or could I have done something other than submit the form and confirm my place as quickly as possible lol?!?

I'm in Dalton Ellis GR.G.15 although my annual rent is over £200 more than what it says was paid for 2006/07 which is kinda crap :frown:

But still, I got a place to live and base to party from :biggrin:

Apparently a fair few submitted the application in Dec/January, so it seems to be that we were beaten to it by the overprepared.

Yeh im in victoria hall. I didnt want to be in the City Centre. I applied around end of may with an unconditional. Didnt recieve an offer until y'day even though they said end of june or 2weeks after. I phoned up multiple times after june and they never really knew what was happening with it, and kept saying i should recieve one in the next week etc. It doesnt seem fair. The halls seem nice, but its the location thats a problem (wanted to be in a green area due to my asthma) and prob wont be with the rest of the social scene. Anyone got any advice?

Hm.. I only applied earlier today to 3 places all in high demand and en suite (Sheavyn, Pankhurst & Canterbury). I was lucky enough getting into the uni in the first place, so I'll trust my luck again and hope for one of those 3 :P

Though if my luck fails me... do they just place you somewhere else at random or do they ask you first to make some other choice?

I submitted it early in December when i got my conditional offer from Man uni in mid november time :wink:

Why? all accommodation places are allocated after results day for home students, and at an earlier date for international students. I am sure you will get yours just be patient :smile:

Just to warn you, I applied for Sheavyn and Pankhurst. They're both full.

I got placed somewhere with no ensuite (Owens Park).

Surely all en-suite rooms haven't been taken up?! It seems on here that everyone who wanted an en-suite room hasn't got one! Looks to me like UoM is taking the mick!
