For some people the accommodation opens on 31st may, but yours probably open in June because of your course, so don't worry if people start saying the applied and secured their rooms before you :-)

No email yet :frown:

Don't worry if:-) they normally send it like 6/7 days before you actually can apply, so you may get it this week, but they reserve a certain amount if rooms for each course, so the rooms won't be full of psychology or English or whatever.

So just hold on a little while longer and you'll be fine :-)

Don't worry about being one of the latest date - the room types are spread out evenly between the days so you should have pretty much the same options available as someone who applies on the first day. They just do it to save the servers crashing with everyone applying at the same time (as you usually get with trying to buy, e.g. festival tickets)

I know...I think everyone's chances are the same though, hopefully? The worst thing is in the email it said something like don't log in too early or the page won't be able to refresh in time... I can just imagine me doing something like that, stuck and unable to log in! That would be bad :biggrin:

Yes, you're not disadvantaged by not being able to apply until a later date. People who can apply on May 31st have no more chance of getting their first choice than people who can apply from June 2nd.

For me i logged on at 9, however cos i applied last year but didn't get in, i used the same account, but it didnt work so i had a mad dash creating a new account to apply, and i eventually securesd my room at 9.06 lol

But if you do login too early, se a different browser and you should be able to login :-)

just make sure you wifi. Or whatever is working lol

If the people who can apply on say the 31st May don't get their preferred room, then surely they can try again at 9am the next day when another batch of room availability comes on line? Doesn't that make it more difficult for those applying later in the week to get their first choice - because potentially more people could be trying?

For example - I want Bill Mo ensuite and can apply at 9am on Thursday 2nd. If someone else has 9am on 1st June as their date to apply and they log in at 9.10 to find all Bill Mo ensuite rooms gone, then they could just try at 9am on 2nd June when some more rooms have been released into the system couldn't they?

I hope so! I really don't want to end up sharing a room in Butler Court. :lol:

Same! I had visions of my laptop crashing and me desperately hitting it whilst starting to cry.

You're doing Publishing with English aren't you? You'll probably see me in some of the English lectures. :awesome:
