Newcastle University (NCL) Accommodation chat thread and FAQ

Hi there,

i have provisionally been allocated to St Mary’s which is NOT one of my 6 choices at all I applied to all en suite not wash basin and that far out. I’m supposedly on a priority list to change accommodation. I am NOT going to accept my offer if that’s the only accommodation I can get as it is none of my 6 and is really far out from the uni. I was wondering if there is anyway anybody has got Park View Village and wanted to swap accommodation or knows of anybody who doesn’t want to be in Park View Village? If not is there anyway I can be put into one of my 6 other choices of accommodation otherwise I will not be coming this September which is NOT what I had planned for

Hi, my niece is in the same position. She has been allocated none of her choices and it’s making her doubt whether or not to accept Newcastle if she gets her grades. She has been offered Castle Leazes catered and no en-suite. How does she go about getting on a reserve list for en-suite accommodation?

Thanks. She is so upset as she had really been looking forward to going there and thought the new student village would mean there was plenty of en-suite accommodation. Obviously not.

Hi, my son is also in the same position. He has not been allocated any of his 6 choices. He specifically requires an ensuite room. He has been allocated Leazes Parade. How does he go about being allocated one of his ensuite choices?

Are there any updates on Park View? Is it on track to be completed as planned by the beginning of 2018?

Hi there, when I rang them yesterday after the devastating news they said that you automatically go on a priority list so if someone in one of your chosen accommodation buildings doesn’t meet their grades or doesn’t come you can possibly be put into a different accommodation build however there is obviously no guarantee of this and you won’t be notified until after results day when your niece will have made her decision. I don’t think I’ll go given the accommodation I’ve been put with which is devastating since I’ve been preparing to go if I’d got the grades hope all gets sorted x

Hey! Not sure about the 500pounds application fee you are talking about, is it the university-allocated accomodation application? But i know some student accomodations will refund you your deposit if you dont get into the uni. I have a room on the 8th floor at Verde im trying to let to someone for September 2018/2019, and i know for sure they'll refund you if you dont get in so no worries about losing your money there. And its a bit late to be looking for private accomodation right now. Message me if youre interested
