Re: Accommodation at Bangor UniversityI thought that, but then I was thinking maybe people who had insurance offers as I did, won't get theirs for another few days.....I hope so anyway(Original post by PunkyFish-x)

Bangor was insurance...no accommodation?Near enough everyone i've spoke to thats going Bangor has had their accommodation through the post this morning with their welcome pack...I only got the welcome pack
Will this be because Bangor was my insurance choice so I might hear back in a few days? I did apply before the deadline so i'm hoping i'll get into my first choice -

Re: Accommodation at Bangor UniversityDoes anyone have any details on what the internet is like in Neuadd Willis? Just found out that I might be able to get a room there, and I'm curious. I mean, I'm sure it's fine, but I was wondering if it was unlimited downloads (everyone has download limits in Australia, I'm not sure what is common in the UK), what the access and speed is like, or whatever anyone can tell me.

Re: Bangor was insurance...no accommodation?I haven't had mine either
And it was my firm, I got the standard welcome pack and a psychology welcome pack but no information on my hall or when I'm moving in... I thought perhaps because I applied for the new new halls? Maybe they're not ready yet and are having to move me temporarily I dunno, I'm sure it will be fine though
EDIT: I also applied the day it became available so I doubt it's because of a late application

Re: Bangor was insurance...no accommodation?Well one of the ones I applied for is a new one but i've seen some people have been allocated a place there so it can't be because of that(Original post by Ben-G-Man)

I think we'll hear withing the next few days anyway, they can't send letters so they arrive on the same day for every single student I guess

Re: Bangor was insurance...no accommodation?If it makes you feel any better, Bangor was clearing for me & I sent off the accommodation form... today...
I also spoke to them on the phone and they said everyone was guaranteed a place, I'm just hoping its not a tent or something. -

Re: Accommodation at Bangor UniversityWell I am almost certain that this is the top floor as it is a 5 storey block and they usually go:(Original post by PunkyFish-x)

If that makes sense, which is pretty good but I am not jealous of you having to run dowstairs in the middle of the night for a fire alarm :P -

Re: Accommodation at Bangor UniversityThe least you will have is 2, one each side of Christmas and they are drills with wardens waiting outside and they time you. If your halls fails that and takes ages you have to do it another day, varying from about 12- 4am.(Original post by PunkyFish-x)

This is without the genuine fire alarms when some idiot forgot how to make toast, in my halls we had about 20 of these... with a fire engine turning up each time and I was in the smallest halls on the site. Although I have friends who have never had one of these so it depends who you have in your halls.
Haha you have a fun year ahead of you
