Ultimate St Andrews Accommodation Thread (2007-2011)

eeeek! ok so I rang the Accommodation Office today to see if my application had been processed yet only for them to tell me that I am number 100 on a waiting list for postgrad accommodation which basically means Im not getting campus.

Anyone from around the St A's area or indeed Scotland in general who has any information/advice they can point me to? I'm coming from Ireland and I hadnt planned on arriving in St Andrews until mid Freshers week but I guess my plans are going to have to change.

www.thesinner.net - post on the accommodation board here though it seems quite over-run with people in your situation at the moment unfortunately.

I'm the same, for some reason my Mum is going crazy, asking me every 5 minutes if I need sheets and bedding (obviously I need to know my hall to answer this), considering I have the best part of a month left, I just tell her to STFU and chill, although not in those words :p:

My mother keeps urging me to ring the accommodation office every day she's that manic about getting stuff ready...

I spoke too soon, just got the accommodation email, gonna be in salvators :woo:

Did you register your email in that econtract thing?

Also, what does floor B mean? Will it be the next one up from the ground (2), or the next one up from the first floor (3)?

I have my St Andrews email address set as the one they'll send the accommodation email to - has your econtract thing updated? If so, what's it look like?

Oh I set mine to my other address because the St Andrews one wasn't sending/receiving mail when I registered (said it would take 3 hours).

But yeah my econtract thing updated. When I click Contracts on the left it comes up with two tables - one shows my accommodation offer and the other is just a key. I'm guessing that if you don't have an offer now it'll probably be there tomorrow evening when they process the next batch?

I hope so, for now I just have the key. I was just worried that it was entirely reliant on the email as my St Andrews one has also been a little bit twitchy about incoming mail. :smile:

Hi,

I'm a fourth year living in Sallies for 2010/11. B Floor is the second floor up. If you go on the facebook group there's a floor plan so you'll get some vague sense of what it might look like. The rooms are quite nice with either a view of the front lawn or towards the sea.
