Kingston University clearing applicants 2014

Just wondered if anyone is going to Kingston through clearing. What courses you are all doing? and what you plan on doing about accommodation as we aren't guaranteed a place in halls..
:smile:
Hey :smile: - I got a place through clearing for biological sciences; and I'm hopefully planning in renting out a place with a friend seeing how we aren't guaranteed accomodation.
What about you?

I'm doing physical geography and i'm too worried about accommodation!
It's such an annoying thing to have to worry about. Might have to commute for a while :frown: which will be borderline 2hrs

Hi everyone!

Congrats on getting into Kingston! I'm Chloe, a Student Ambassador here at Kingston and going into my second year. I didn't personally come through clearing but my friends did and they're having a great time! Make sure you have a look at our Getting Ready site as it will give you all the info you need about starting at Kingston. Also if you want to see what students on your course think of uni then log on to our Ask Us website.

Please let me know if you have any questions about anything to do with uni life. Lectures, Freshers, Kingston in general, Student Life, Disability, ask and I'll answer!

Looking forward to chatting with you all,

Chloe :smile:

Hey! I got a place for biomedical sciences through clearing recently. Haven't sorted out my accomodation yet! :s-smilie: I need to look for a rented place too in case I'm not offered anything in student halls. Oh the stress :eek:
Do you start on the 1st?

Ahhh we're all in the same position with accommodation then! Commuting will probably be a struggle for a while, but at least you have somewhere until you can find a place :rolleyes: I haven't found any places yet, so any help would be much appreciated :chaplin:

Unfortunately none of us can apply for clearing accommodation till 26th. But if you live more than 15 miles away you're at an advantage - plus there the theory that we'd be taking places of people who didn't originally get the grades!
According to UCAS yes but I checked online and we don't start till the 22nd :biggrin: (some freshers events start on the 16th onwards)

Oh right, I'd rather have a back up plan to fall into in case I don't. I live 2 and a half to 3 hours away so I'd hope that puts me at a fair advantage :dry: Wait what? That's just confusing. So do we have to move in by the 1st but our actual course starts on the 22nd? :absinth:

I don't know why it's showing up as the first on UCAS but I assure you we don't start that early. If you're worried about it it'll be worth giving them a call, and also probably asking if they have places for halls to give out anywayb

Oh thank god. I probably will do sooner or later, but I'm not fussed if I have to live in rented accommodation. It's just a confusing process. I'll find somewhere eventually. :rolleyes:

Thank you,

Hi Sarah,

The website is currently down so I can't find out today. I will make a note and contact them once it is up and running again.

Sorry for the delay.

Hi Inspired_tem,

Induction week starts on the 22nd September this year. In this week it's all elements of Freshers,enrolment, the fair, the ball and introduction lectures.

Last year we got our Fresher's timetable through the post so I'm assuming that is what will happen again this year.

I hope this helps and please ask me any more questions!
