Does anyone know what I could do to keep my place I am desparate beyond words and my circumstances really are extenuating! I know I have the grades to get in i just don't have it on paper until November that's two months into the course. Any help greatly appreciated I am at my wits end ATM.

    For people on the reserve list - did it specify what you are on reserve list for or does it just say nursing? My first choice was ld but my letter just says nursing ?

    yes! keep in touch too and thats a good idea, i read last years forum and it says that all that stuff is usually sorted out on some induction day/first week of uni ( im guessing thats bursaries) but it doesnt sound very right for accomodation. I think that queens offer temporary 6 week accomodation for nursing incase your placement is far away so you dont waste money on the 6 weeks that you are away on placement!
    will do , aw that means we wouldnt even be getting our bursaries at the start of the term either - i hate how the nursing application is so different from all the rest yeah someone told me that we just apply for accomodation as normal now because places will become available as people start to decline offers, dont get the grade etc. aw thats handy then with that accomodation during placement!
