Make sure to double check with the uni to ensure any offers are legit. There's a few scammers, so ask the uni to verify their student ID :smile:

Thanks so much…good idea. I don’t suppose you have any other ideas on how I could go about getting her another room? I am going to contact the Uni on Tuesday. I’m a bit at a loss 😞

nope i’m in the same position! i have whitworth park but i want to swap with any accommodation with an self catered en-suite.

Apparently around October, when a few people drop out, there should be spaces for your desired accommodation so you can try again then.

Just curious, is there a reason that your daughter didn't complete the accommodation form herself?

She was abroad at the time with poor wifi and the accommodation portal was an absolute nightmare so it was a rushed job before the portal threw me out (for the hundredth time)!

Then I think your daughter should be really appreciative that you had the time and patience to do the application for her!
What's wrong with Daisy Park? Is it too expensive?

Just saying Manchester doesn't actually look at the order they just see the 5 choices and choose from that. But good luck regardless

She is really appreciative and Daisy Bank is lovely but her friends are in Denmark Road and it would make the whole Uni experience easier and happier for her..

Not worth it. For your daughters sake and yours, trust me, this isn't a reason to switch. Friends can have her round any time they like, and being away from them can give her some more confidence and push her outside of her comfort zone - which Denmark Rd would keep her in. Going away to uni means you learn just as much about yourself as you do on your course. She'll do that more away from her existing friends and find her own feet a bit more. :wink:
