Uni of Bath Accommodation - post all questions here

When applying for accommodation, is the chance of getting preferred accommodation affected by when the application is sent (as long as the accommodation application is sent before the 1st of July)?

When applying for accommodation, is the chance of getting preferred accommodation affected by when the application is sent (as long as the accommodation application is sent before the 1st of July)?

Do I have to make any upfront payment like deposit when I apply online for accommodation at this point in time? I mean notwithstanding I have firmed Bath there could be for whatsoever reasons like inability to meet the conditional grades or occurrence of new Covid wave that could hinder my attendance to uni.

Some unis ask you to fill out a questionnaire so you are put in with people with similar interests or preferences - is there such a thing for Bath?

hi, i wanna ask how is living in the Quads like? i'm thinking of putting it as one of my top options but from what i've seen online, the rooms look sooo small i really like the social and kitchen space tho because it's bigger than other accomodations + i love to cook. if not the Quads, i was also thinking of Marlborough Court and Solsbury Court, but if anyone could give insight too either of the dorms that would be great!

I stayed in Solsbury in my first year. In Marlborough and Solsbury it ranges from flats with five to seven people, whereas staying in Quads there is a lot more people per floor. Personally I would've preferred more people as it increases the chance you will meet and connect with someone you get along with. The social vibe is a lot better in quads as well and there is often gatherings in the communal areas. The little space in the kitchen kind of limits flat gatherings in M&S. In terms of the rooms in M&S they are slightly better but the size difference isn't that notable after your first few weeks. Hope this helps.

But if an embarrassing one but

I have quite bad IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and can send a really long time using the bathroom - sometimes for hours. My concern is that I annoy flat mates by taking so long in the shared facilities. Not sure whether it’s worth mentioning to the Uni so that I can get my preferred choice of en-suite (that way I don’t bother people) or if there are still plenty of facilities for multiple people at a time in flats where they are shared? Either way I’d rather people didn’t know I spend so long there…

Hi @University of Bath
I have an unconditional firmed offer from the University of Bath (applied with achieved grades so my place has already been confirmed).
Would this increase my likelihood as to getting one of my top choices or getting an accommodation earlier than July? Maybe June?
Thanks

I have firmed Bath Uni.
