Westwood accommodation

Hello people I have been allocated Westwood, was my last choice rip- anyone else?

Same - i got allocated Westwood too even though it was my last choice. Is there any way to appeal ?? ig it's probably not as bad as I told myself it was though

No there isn't a way to appeal unfortunately I've spoken to someone and they said you can transfer a few weeks into the start of term, but if you want to you'll be added to a 'waiting list' of some sort. Seems like people I've spoken to who have also got Westwood had it down as their last choice. RIP us

For some reassurance, Westwood is actually lovely, it only has a bad rep because everyone thinks it's far away (but that's just because a lot of people have no reason to walk there and find out it's not!). It's as close to central campus as any of the Lakeside area ones, and convenient for Tesco/Aldi. Plus it's just a pretty site in general Bit further away than most from the Sports Hub, but right next to the Tennis Centre and athletics track so it balances out (as well as having its own music centre which is usually much less busy than the one on central campus). Everyone I know who has lived there has been happy with it, even if they were in your position of being disappointed originally.

Oh nice, love that for us!! I believe you can also swap with other people although the chances of that happening would be low imo as it would require finding someone who wants to swap. Luckily we're only there for one year + as interea mentioned, there are benefits of living there too.

WESTWOOD WAS ALSO MY LAST CHOICE!! are y'all first years?

yeah lol

We’re all in the same boat 🫠 I hope that they would allow halls to changed

I rang them up and they said you can ask for a transfer in the first term, but i think there'd be a long list but idk :/

I will be opting for outside accommodation if I am not allocated to an en-suite. What about you?
