University of Westminster- Freshers 2013/14

Hey, I'm Shana and I will be studying English lit at Regent campus.
I'll be commuting at least for the first year

Hii, I'm Nourhan and I'm also gonna be studying English lit at Regent!

Just got an email from the accommodation folks, saying that I need to pay a booking fee of £250 to reserve a room, which I'm fine with- but then goes on to give me my rent information which is as follows;

"First instalment of rent is for a period of 17 weeks (17 x £159) = £2,703 due on 6th September 2013

Second Instalment of rent is for a period of 17 weeks (17 x £159)= £2,703 due on 14th January 2014

Third instalment of rent is for a period of 8 weeks (8 x £159) = £1,272 due on 29th April 2014"

I'm no way gonna be able to pay almost 3k by the 6th of sept... On the UoW's website it says- " you will need to make an initial rent payment 8 weeks before moving in. The rest of the payments are broken down to coincide with the payment dates of the Student Loans Company".... I don't see how the email I got reconciles with what they've said on the website, i'm guessing student finance is paid out way after the 6th of sept??? HELP!?!?!!

Dude I'm freaking out too! But the website says don't do anything until you hear back from them!

Hi, I'm Joe and I will also be studying English Lit at Regent from September, really looking forward to it!

Just called them up (student finance), they said that they'll sort it out with the uni so that I "should" have enough to pay the first installment- they also said that the first payment can be around £1,200 and the rest can be paid bit by bit.... the email was just worded ****ty. still stressin' like a MF!

You are a life saver! Maybe for Westminster students should get their loan earlier! Will student finance support all Westminster students? Should I call too?

tbh I think we'll get the loans on time, or just about, ready to pay for rent... Yeah I think they do, don't see why not. If you have any specific questions then yeah go for it, I only asked them what I needed to know have a look at this though, should somewhat help you out http://www.aptstudents.com/documents

Just called she said student loan will start 16th sept :/ she said when you get the declaration form apparently show the SLC form for prove and apparently the uni might take the payment a week later!

hmm, they told me that they didn't know when the loans would be paid out 16th sept is when we start our courses, so I don't see why they'd pay the loans on that same day... all my brothers got their loans before they started their course............. i'm confused a little now. but as for that £2,703 you only need to pay £1,272 (so i'm guessing the loans will be paid around the 6th, give or take), then the rest you can pay bit by bit.... they confirmed twice when I called them

Hello!
I'm Cosmin and I will be studying Marketing Communication, I will stay at Wembley.
I am a little concerned about the transport to the university. The Oyster for one month is pretty expensive (117pounds). Any recommendations?

Where did you get 117 from? It's around 1.30 each way from wembley and to wembley
