Leicester accomodation

If you hold a conditional offer, that'll be why. I sent mine off the day it opened and it still says submitted.

When you meet the requirements they gave you, give them an email or call to let them know... quote your student number (this will be on any correspondence from the uni, check your acceptance/offer letter) and mention the status of your accommodation form also quoting this reference number (found on the page with the status of your application)

They won't start processing you accommodation application until they are certain you will be attending in October. Hope this was helpful

i have a conditional offer that i've firmed for english at leicester and am looking to stay in halls, self catered and probably with an en suite, could anybody give me any advice on what would be the best choice?

hau been to an open day to look around?

i applied for accomodation looking to have self-catered and en suite as well...

not too many self catered options however, i ended up putting down a combination of GMS, John Foster and Beaumont as my options

i think 1/2 were catered though, but all en suite

John Fosters is the newest of the lot but i thought there were all relatively decent with there own appealing aspects

yeah i went to an open day but i don't really remember too much about which was best or who went where, for example i've heard a lot of medics go to john fosters
thanks for the help though i think i will still consider it now and maybe look in to GMS more
seems odd that there are so many catered options and not many self catered i think though commpared to other uni's especially

There are more medics in JoFo, but to be honest I think that is simply because medics seem, on average, to come from wealthier backgrounds. Are you a medic?

It's more catered because originally the intention was to run it as colleges, if you look at collegiate unis (Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, York etc.) they tend to be catered as eating together creates a good community atmosphere.

Having more catered apparently caused no problems, as there wasn't much demand for self catered, until fairly recently. Now there is I'm sure they will gradually bring in more and more self, but unfortuanately an entire halls of residence costs a lot of money to build so it'll take a while for this to happen.

i see okay, that's really helpful. No i'm not a medic which is why i was a bit unsure as to if i would fit in if i went to john fosters, but I think it should be okay, thank you for the help

In reply to Bethany01 - it is more likely that you would be given mary gee , and yes it is rather outdated. It's closer to the uni than oadby village and in my experience most people walk although the bus comes every 10 mins. Saying this, the social aspect can often be better as insurance people are less likely to be "neeks." - if you are unhappy with the accommodation you have been offered, the best thing to do it ring up the accommodation services and they are more than likely to offer you an alternative

Heya , so Leicester is my insurance choice university , does anyone know the probability that ill get put into mary gee housing ( ive been told that this accommodation is not every nice and hasn't been updated in a long while and its abit of away from the university ?) if i dont make my first choice

this is what happened to me, leicester was my insurance and I got just dumped there and your right it is outdated and not the best but at the end of the day it was much cheaper than my first choice accommodation so I had more money to spare and it really wasn't that bad, not as nice as JoFo but not the end of the world.

thanks , more questions.....does it join in with oadby student village at freshers ? is it a social atmosphere, are there many opportunities to make friends? and how far is it away from the city center for shopping and nights out ?
