Has anyone else not applied for accommodation yet?

I haven't, but it seems like I'm the only one. I guess I haven't done it yet because I'm a bit worried about it. I really don't want catered accommodation, so I think that leaves me with just Wolfson, SSA, GDSA, one of the UoL Halls and I think Brian Creamer. I really don't want any off the Intercollegiates as they are too expensive, but I wouldn't want to live in the KCL Halls as they are so far away, so I'm still unsure how I'm going to order them. I would be absolutely gutted if I don't get Wolfson, SSA, GDSA or Brian Creamer, but obviously I understand they have to be fair, and nobody wants to have one of their lower choices; it's just annoying that money is an issue - if it wasn't I wouldn't really be bothered, other than that I'd prefer self-catering, but if I could afford to still buy food even if I was in catered then it wouldn't really matter.

Oh and when is the deadline?

If you're so worried about not getting them, I suggest you apply as soon as possible.

I haven't applied either (same situation as you basically!) and the deadline is the 30th June, and I was under the impression that as long as the application is in before the 30th of June it is not on a "first come first served" basis and everyone is treated fairly? Although I could be wrong.

I've just firmed King's yesterday.. do i have to wait for them to send me an application form, or can i do it asap on their website? or ring them for a application number, i'm not sure at all. And it's not first come first served..that's a relief.

The login details should be in your offer letter - I think it takes about five days after firming your offer to be able to log in.

I see. Thanku!

No probs

Doesn't make a difference. There's no "first-come-first-serve" basis. It's a complete random allocation of all of the applications after the deadline.

I didn't apply because I didn't received anything from King's yet.
I've firmed it the 4th of April.

SSA and GDSA are more expensive than some of the catered accom!
