UEA Accommodation

It's in my sig. AAA for English Lit with Creative Writing.

haha! If so we could have glee parties! Except I read somewhere that Sky has won it from E4, so I don't know what we're gonna do next year. and gossip girl (I think you watched GG as well? hope im not mixing you up with someone else)

I'm a bit worried the village might not be that social though I'm a bit of a hermit since I moved and I'm trying to get out of that habit
Im slowly reading my way through the whole thread, kinda scary/exciting reading it. especially when they find out where they are living next year, that's us in a few months. (if yknow we get the grades) Can't wait until exams are OVER!


I'm so glad the UEA application is straight forward though. My friend is going to Loughborough and their applications open yesterday, and it's first come first served. The website crashed in the morning and by the time it came back in the afternoon all the available rooms had been taken within minutes, so now she's without accommodation until they work something out and she won't know until results day if they have an alternative.

Don't be worried about the village, it's really not 'not social' If anything, it's just the 'type' of social like going out on campus vs hanging out in each other's flats in the village, but of course even then it is about who you're with not where and students are all fun :P. People are constantly in the kitchen or each others flats or rooms so no need to worry.

Btw I also agree with the UEA system, I don't see why other unis don't do similar systems, it's so much fairer. It's also great that even with variations most of UEA's accom is pretty similar ie standard rooms ish and all self-catered. Unlike other unis where I loved some accomodation and hated others, and would have had to gamble, whereas at UEA I loved it all!

Was the village your 1st choice?

Yep it was, I think I had Village, Ziggurats, ensuite campus, studio, orwell wolfson, mary chapman shared campus in that order, though I'd probably change orwell wolfson to the end now.

I was lucky to get it, but I also have a friend who went through clearing so got no choice in the matter, and ended up in Mary Chapman, which wasn't her preference but she loved it, love the savings she made and made great friends, and didn't miss out on socialising at all, so it goes to show it really doesn't make that much difference!

thats good to know. out of curiosity, what is it about orwell/wolfson you dont like? i believe i have ranked them 2nd from last. (with mary chapman court last)

Grades Pending, I hope to study History.

I was going to ask the same but then I saw your sig.

Hope everyone else is psyched!?

You miss it? It's on E4 every day :P

I'm sorry if this question has been answered but I'm a prospective med student booking accomodation. I'm not sure whether I'm a health undergraduate or a undergraduate and which options I'd fill in?

I think for med students you follow the link for MOD, MO(something)

let me check

Thank you!
That's be a great help as I'm really confused.
When I log in all I get is a first time applicant option which I click and then four options which include undergraduate, health undergraduate and the other 2 being post graduates with nothing else.

sorry, it was in fact just MED...

someone here had the same Q http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=890297&page=71

oh, im not sure about the log in.. I guess health undergraduate, but to be safe, I'd send a PM to this person

or wait until someone 100% knows

Thank you very much !

Sorry if this sounds a bit stupid but... what is the village? I don't see it on the accommodation list
