Accommodation Guide for Undergraduate Students

Original post by bb_cindy_tong

I'm still deciding between nott and bath. but i know the accomoodation applications start on 1st March.
Do i still have a place on Cripps hall if i apply in mid March ( like 12th March)?

i've been holding offers so would like to decide when results release on 11th march.

You can only apply to study in Cripps Hall specifically if you are related to someone who has lived there previously and has graduated from the uni. You can apply to catered halls on campus - in my experience, for my first year I applied for accomodation in the middle/late May and I was given a room in cripps.

This year there is no choice of hall. You can only choose your campus (e.g. UP or SB or Jubilee) and the type of accommodation you'd like (e.g. single study, en-suite,...)

Hey, I'm still deciding between en-suite, shared en-suite, and private shared bathroom.

Could someone tell me which to go for? Is it worth saving the £673 a year for having to share the bathroom with a person that might be just too awkward to live with?

Opinions please! Thanks.

I think your question was answered very fully when you asked it in a previous thread, what more do you want to know?

Hey,

I understand that you applied for catered accomodation in your first year, but would you happen to know when the self-catered accomodation (in particular, BGP) start to get filled up?

I'm still waiting on one more Uni before I can make my decision and Notts accomodation opens tomorrow :/

Also, regarding not being able to choose where you stay (just the type of accomodation), is this the same for self-catered? Or can you pick between Albion and BGP for example?

Thanks (:

Sorry, I don't know if you can choose between Albion and BGP - but you can choose BGP. Why would you want to choose between those two, out of interest? Albion is owned by UPP Broadgate Park and managed by them. You are probably best off emailing [email protected] and [email protected]. I know you can choose between the other self-catered residences, just not those two. Self-catered tend to fill up later than catered. Don't worry, all the rooms wont go in the first day or week! It also depends on the type of room, for example ensuites get filled up the quickest, because there are less of them.

Thanks a lot for your help (:

I haven't visited either Albion or BGP so I can't comment on which one I prefer, but I would like to have an en-suite if possible, which is why I was looking into BGP more, although getting a single study room at Albion would be fine aswell. Its good to hear that they fill up later, Warwick are known to take quite long with their application process, which could last till April which is why I am getting a bit worried about the self-catered places being filled up before I get a final decision.

I was thinking of emailing the accomodation, but i'm guessing they will be busy so I dont know when they'll reply, but I might aswell email to ask a few questions.

Thanks again

Just wondering, but on the accomodation map it shows different rooms to the ones on the website, like "Discounted Single Study" or "Private Shower". If you can't apply for these, how do they get allocated?

If you desperately want on of these room types follow these instructions.

•

Log in to the online application form from 9 a.m. on March 1st

•

complete page 1 and 2 as if those options didn't exist

•

on page three, open the personal requirements box and list your preferences again inserting the private shower or discounted single.

You can chose between Albion and Broadgate as they are both individual sites.

Ignore any other link as they are likely to only confuse you. The below one will definitely work.

They will both have an individual listing on our application form (online or hardcopy).

It should be fairly straight forward but we're here to help if you get stuck.

I was emailed back about deposits. If you apply through the university then you'll get your offer about a month after your application and will be asked to pay £250 then :smile:
