Accomodation at Imperial

Hey I also got this application tracking email, with a CID, but it didn't seem to be clearly about accommodaton... is there another email I'm meant to be waiting for from Imperial?

I have my CID so could you send me the link. Username as in UCAS? Thanks

No, it's a different username than the one in UCAS (it'll be on the "tracking" email from Imperial.)

I don't know how that came about! xD I quoted you both to make 2 different responses...didn't check as I logged off right after.

Anywho, Viral - WRT your question, no, that's not the email. But that'll have all the info (username + CID) you need to log into the application anyway...all you need is to activate the account and set up a password, then you can use it to apply for accommodation.
If you want, I can give you the link to the application form

Can you send me the link to the application form too? I have the CID and the log in details already.

Thanks!

If you apply to triples and twins but would prefer a triple, would putting 'room type' as the more important factor mean the admissions team think you'd prefer to have a twin (seeing as people prefer to share with less if no one at all)?
10 points if you understand my question!

Alright, let me make it clear now (for anyone else who also asks for the link after this):



Any other Qs, holler.

Not necesarily, but I think they'd avoid putting you in a single!

If I'm trying to avoid sharing, would putting "playing flute loudly and out of tune" as a hobby help my case for a single room?

In the end I put "snoring and frequent sleeptalking" under my special notes.

My friend claims he put "Active sex life" under the special notes section. I doubt the accommodation people will be too impressed by that.

Yayy finally got my accommodation email! Does anyone know what a "double room" is? I presume this is different from a twin, perhaps a double bed, but no options come up when I click on it? Also I'm under 18, and I know that we have to agree to the T&Cs etc, but do you think they'd notice if I put single + twin rooms for Eastside and Southside (as I really want to live there) and perhaps a Beit single as my last option? Thanks

Edit: Just realised when I search for twin rooms, nothing comes up. There goes my plan!

LOL really?



It seems, I might have been a little too honest with my application then

Has it bugged anyone else that accommodation is spelt wrong in the title?

Do you reckon they'd let me put a piano in my room? (electric, not like a grand or anything :P)

Haha nooo I want a single! I was just wondering if I could put twins down, as they would automatically be invalid seeing as I'm under 18 :P
