Still haven't got an offer of accommodation. Slightly worried because I put them as insurance choice so I'm not sure if/when I'll get information.

have you confirmed that you are going there? It might be worth contacting admissions or accommodation @uea to ask them. Did you get the email saying you would find out this week?

For anyone wanting to know where on campus their accommodation is:

https://www.uea.ac.uk/about/visiting-staying/campus-map

Click on accommodation from the icons along the bottom, even if you're in the halls furthest from the square (middle of the campus) you'll only be 10 minutes (15 if you're in the village) from Library, lecture theatres & SU bar.

I contacted the university to change my email used for it and I seemed to be on the system then and have got emails about what I need to do before I arrive but I haven't heard anything about my room allocation at all since I first sent off my application. I logged in earlier and it said my application was processed when I sent it in May but I don't really know what's going on.

For all insurance and non-guaranteed accommodation applicants, this is what I received when I contacted UEA today

'We encourage our insurance students to apply for accommodation so that in the eventuality we can offer them a room we will have their preferences to hand. However as I stated, the demand this year has been extremely high from our guaranteed students which means our non-guaranteed students are even less likely to receive an offer. If you are lucky then you will hear from us in the next few weeks. However, I would still advise you to contact HomeRun in the interim in order to avoid arriving at university without any accommodation at all. Our colleagues there will be very helpful in finding you suitable living arrangements for your first year at UEA.'

They're expecting us to look into private accommodation as it's unlikely we're getting university accommodation.

If I were you I'd leave it for today but then tomorrow or soon after email admissions and ask to be safe

I did email after you suggested it and they told me I'm unlikely to get accommodation (and all other insurance students too) trying to work out what to do now.

Oh no! Good luck with trying to find somewhere. Maybe you could look at shared flats (with other insurance students) in the city? I think they will be reasonable price
