Hey I'm studying BSc Geography here but have yet to be given an accommodation offer. Is there anyone else in the same situation as me?


Yes same course and everything :smile: applied for accommodation way back in March so don't worry!

Cool! Birmingham was my firm but insured Soton- getting a lot of Soton insurers on this forum. That's strange you didn't get mayflower since I thought their rooms were in abundance

Yes but i didn't realize that we had to list them as preferences, i thought we would get an offer for each place.

You're lucky you got Glen Eyre- that was my first choice but they've probably ran out really quickly since they're so popular

Nice one! Any idea what geophysics actually is? Also which halls are you in?

I just usually just say physics applied to the earth as nobody knows what the course is! I haven't heard anything from accommodation mine still has the status of 'submitted'. Which is starting to stress me out a bit especially since so many have already been allocated to other people! I can't even get on the website at the moment because it's too busy! Never mind, where abouts are you from then?

Well it was my insurance already and a month or so I decided I preferred soton because it was considerably cheaper than York (a few hundred pounds cheaper!) And because it offers the option to study abroad which I really want :smile:


Lol that makes sense :smile: I wanted to do that too but don't think it's part of my course
