Re: Commutable Address Reject.But then is there not a 38 week contract meaning they can't leave?(Original post by Mr. Mortell)
More than you think. Being at the "upper limit" for commuting you'd be higher on the waiting list.Last edited by athuva; 18-05-2009 at 07:53. -

Re: Commutable Address Reject.Definitely not miles because my mate lives 2 miles closer to the uni and got accepted whereas I didn't. It must be certain areas such as west Croydon in my case are rejected (that'll include certain post codes).

Re: Commutable Address Reject.You would essentially take over their 38 week contract, from where they leave. Believe me when I saw that people often leave [or are kicked out]. Not huge amounts, but I sizeable amount.(Original post by athuva)

Oh, and you can't apply for UoL halls without going through the QM application, Yazmina. -

Re: Commutable Address Reject.I'm a non-UK citizen, living currently and temporarily in a place that's 30 mins from QMUL; having a room in a flat that's in apartment building with a concierge and an on-site gym plus CCTV monitoring and stuff. I pay £590 pcm, so around £130 pw, plus once every 10 days or so there's a £20 electricity top-up to be paid for.(Original post by Democracy)
You need £190 pw minimum.
I have applied for a place on-campus - I'm eligible since my home address is 1000 miles from here, but if I won't get a place (got offered catered Intercollegiate Halls for over £600 pcm - too much, have rejected and now am on a waiting list for Mile End), I'm gonna stay where I am now for some time, no way I'm gonna go for private halls - what's with those rip-off prices?
Seriously, £190 per week is £800 per month, do they have jacuzzis in the rooms and private butlers for that price? There's rarely a single room to rent for that price, from what I've seen. Total rip-off, IMO, it's cheaper to get some folks and rent a whole flat from a private landlord, I think.

Re: Commutable Address Reject.There are waiting lists for people who want accommodation at QMUL. Nothing's been left, but something might be available at the end of next week.(Original post by a12)
do anyone know if there is accommodation left at QMUL? -

Re: Commutable Address Reject.FYI all Greater London postcodes are automatically rejected and put onto the waiting list.
For the people that get rejected, a commute time is worked out using your home postcode and E1 4NS (College postcode) on tfl.gov.uk, for a 9am start on a Monday morning in September.
Some people will have commutes of 2 hours plus on this system so get re-enabled. Medium distance people are offered when places become available, and short distance people (less than an hour and a half) generally don't find anything.
Medics and dentists have a separate waiting list to the people on other courses.
