UEA Accommodation

Most of the student housing contracts in Norwich will actually start in July. So, you could go in halls normally, hopefully meet your future housemates over the corse of the year, get your 2nd year house together and then you could move straight in at the start of July. I think there was 2 week gap between my accommodation ending and my house contract starting which isn't that long, but if you really can't go home I'm sure you could apply for summer accommodation for two weeks on personal grounds.

Yeah. I think moving back when I'm 25 would not be fun, plus I'd have to leave whatever part-time job I hope to get in Norwich. Hmm... Anyway. Thinking too far ahead now - should probably just get on the course first

Thats crap, especially as the hobs are so slow to cook on- took me half an hour to cook pasta on one the other day! And thats interesting that it isn't just our microwave that smokes (we just have the one). What hall are you in? And I assume you've already been down to the Accomodation Office- I'd personally march down there and say look its ridiculous its been two weeks.

Im in Britten and yeah we have one dodgy hob that doesn't get as warm as the others and you usually have to flick the hob switch on and off a few times whilst cooking as it sometimes just randomly goes off. A few of us have been down to the accommodation office, i'm going to go down again tomorrow and ask what's going on.

Can I ask why our flat has a random big freezer in the middle of our kitchen plugged in? LOL It's conveniently placed right near all the cupboards/the sink.

There's no note or anything and the manual/ice cube tray etc. was just left on top of it.
It's just confused us all as our freezer at the moment works perfectly fine...although there are only 5 compartments between the 8 of us.

That's probably a good start. Make sure you get on the course!

Besides don'rt worry about summer accommodation. Our standard conrtracts are 38 weeks but we always offer rooms in the summer to current students if they need them. We just ask you to apply for them seperately once you are already in (usually in about Easter time).

No idea! Where do you live?

Can I just say a big thank you if any of you voted in the What Uni awards for UEA (and in particular for the accommodation!).

The 2011 results have just come out and not only is the UEA top University overall in them but we are also top for the Accommodation and the Student Union categories too.

Thank you!

I live within the 12 mile radius from the UEA and have just recieved a conditional offer to study nursing, I know I cannot be certain to recieve accommodation but how likely is it that I could get it?

Very very unlikely and would advise you to make other plans.

UEA was massively oversubscribed for accommodation last year (to the extent that clearing students were denied accommodation, even if they lived 100 miles away) so it makes sense that you probably won't get uni accommodation. Sorry!

Hannah! Is that you? xx

Any help with accommodation at UEA would help!
thanks!

Just thought I would let you all know that the application form for accommodation for this September (2012-13 entry) is now live on the UEA website. There's no rush to fill it in though, we don't allocate rooms on a first come first served basis so it makes no difference if you fill it in today or later in the year before your arrival, you will have the same chance of getting your first choice of room.

To fill the form out you will need your name, email address, UEA application number and date of birth. When you get to the application form just click on "first time user account creation" and away you go.

One tip I can give you is that you don't, if at all possible, use a hotmail email account. We sometimes have troubles with sending things to hotmail and this could affect your application. If you normally use hotmail I would recommend that you set up another free email account from a different company.

Hiyaa. Literally just firmed UEA 15 minutes ago (woot woot). I need to get all my accommodation stuff sorted asap because I hopefully go travelling in april and want it out of the way before march when I have to start stressing about sensible walking shoes and stuff.

I was just wondering when/where I would find out my application number, because I tried to input one from an e-mail I got from UEA but it said that it was unrecognized...so...not really sure what to do...

They never sort that sort of thing out due to sometimes, depending on the number of UG's and PG's with regards to them applying for specific accommodation. They allocate the UG places first but have PG places as back ups. This is what I assume anyways.
