I am catered. The self-catered and catered peeps get the same facilities, all the same kitchens and equipment. There are two flats per floor, you tend to get to know the flat opposite and you'll get to know people upstairs/downstairs too. Definately JoFo over GMS, my mate stays in GMS and hates it. Though if you don't get your application in fast after results day, you won't get a choice!

Well that's the thing! You can register online for accommodation right now so I'm a bit confused as to how quick we have to choose so we get the accommodation we want! Argh!

Thanks for your help too!

Is your offer conditional or unconditional?

I know the process has changed this year, so im not too sure how allocations will be working but I still imagine it'll be first come first serve the same as other universities that use this system.
In which case apply asap. There is far, far more demand for John Foster than available rooms, and the whole site was generally full within a week or so in the last couple of years.

Conditional, which I thought meant that we didn't apply for accommodation until results day but I got an email from the uni saying we can apply in April. :confused:

Mine didnt work either when I was reapplying for halls :frown:
I had to wait from an email from them saying I was allowed to apply. Dont know if its the same for first time students, but might be worth emailing them and finding out just incase.

It could be the case that if you hold a conditional offer that you still might not be able to apply until after your results. Maybe only people who have unconditonal offers can apply. They havent been very clear on the accommodation policy this year.

I knowww, I was so confused this morning when I came on here to hear people talking about applying for accommodation!

I got an email from them saying I could apply in April and that they're trying to sort out my validation thingy. So hopefully everything will be fine soon!

I dont know why they changed it to be honest, it worked perfectly well before- the only reason they had trouble was because they were accepting more students than they had rooms but still guarenteeing accommodation. Sillyness.

Good luck anyway, im sure it'll all be fine :smile:

see this page, I think you can only apply for accomodation now if you have firmly accepted a unconditional or conditional offer. If you haven't accepted then you apply after being accepted and if it is an insurance then you can't apply until after results day. Anyways get in ASAP

Sorry I have no idea. They have changed the way they classify the rooms. When I applied it was just ensuite or not, none of this premium malarkey :rolleyes:

Premium + Ensuite are what the photos above are- they are from the pavillions at John Foster.

Premium ensuite is slightly different. Whilst essentially its still an ensuite, the bathroom will be a little different. Premium ensuite for example is what a room in the Coppice is specified as. They are different buildings :smile:

John Foster pavillions are all Premium + ensuite rooms as above.

oo I see. Tbh I'm not as keen on the Coppice ensuite, they remind me of a slightly larger version of aeroplane toilets :p:

Haha thats more or less exactly what I've said to people about them. They look like two port-a-loos have been shoved together :eek:
