Hello,
My name is Gabriella Dimitrova, I am taking an unusual route, I do a T level Health course in Health and I have received a conditional offer for Orthoptics. I am predicted to get a Distinction with Overall B. I have attended an open day as well as had a successful interview, unsure about booking an offer holder day due to the distance, I live near London!
I had applied for Liverpool and Glasgow but rejected them, as I’m interested in Sheffield only.

Hi, I've put Sheffield as my first choice for uni. How quickly would you say I should book accomodation? I have started looking but none of the flats I would prefer have been released yet, should I wait or just book a different one sooner?

Hello there,
When I applied for my accommodation, I experienced a similar situation. I contacted the accommodation team via email, and received a reply which informed me that more accommodation would become available as the days go by. My advice to you is to send an email to the accommodation team, just to check when your ideal flat choice will become available for you to apply for.
Thank for getting in touch - and I hope you get your dream flat!

Hi,
I'm doing Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology at A Level and predicted A*A*A*.
I've applied for Biochemistry with an Industrial Placement Year.
I like the city, and went to the open day and loved the facilities (felt like good environment and nice place to be). Accommodation looks nice too.
