Leicester accomodation

Bias! I knew it I'm still looking forward to it.

I know what you mean about block 6/7. One of my good friends is starting her 2nd year in October and she was in Block 6, and everyone was so close and friendly and as far memory serves, 6 and 7 are opposite each other!

Hello, Leicester was my insurance and they've offered me the most expensive accomodation: Premium Plus Catered En-Suite in John Foster. It was my 5th choice on my preference list. Although I'm pleased that I secured an en-suite, I don't think I can realistically afford it. Is there any chance that I can change my accommodation to a less expensive en-suite room?

sorted now, i'm in Lasdun Block GX in GMS

I am in this EXACT situation.

Ahh, it's so annoying. Do you know what you're going to do?

I emailed them asking if I could change, but they haven't replied yet. I might just have to take the hit and end up being poor. I'll definitely need a job.

The thing is, I don't want to switch two weeks into term because we'll all have made friends by then and it'll screw up the dynamics, so if they let me change before, great, if not then my parents said they can find the extra money for me.

Any one else in Mary Gee Houses? I'm in block M, ground floor, room 4!

just asked them to change me from freemans common so will hopefully be getting mary gee

I didn't want to pay 30£ and wait until the beginning of the term time and stressed about that. You can't know if you will have an ensuite room. So I have finally choosen to keep the premium + ensuite room.

Thanks for sharing that, I think I may keep my premium plus room as well and just somehow work out how I'm going to afford it.

I understand! I've been working for more than 1 year now and I can't afford alone the room lol If you want we can help each other lol Are you in Bowder court? ( It's probably hard to find a job for me because I am French so lol)

Ahh I see lol, nah I'm not, I'm in John Foster Hall - Noseley

if you ring them up then it's likely you'll be able to change before you're there. Doubt you'll find an ensuite however.. the number is 0116 252 2428

Should I worry!? Leicester was my firm choice and so filled in a accommodation application ages ago in April! However I still haven't heard anything and everybody else appears to have... HELP!
