Aw well done! I like Victoria Halls does look nice and its really central! I hadn't even looked into it since people started mentioning it! I really like the look of Trigon because its still close enough to the clubs and town but also not so loud that you could have a night in if you wanted. Its such a hard decision:frown:
i just firmed my unconditional for Marketing communications and Advertising so its official!!
I think i am going to go for Victoria halls as my first choice then i want to go for a good accommodation, but ones that aren't in the most popular, so i was thinking brammal hall or summerfield or something??

some of the accommodation has no internet of limited mb which worries me? i don't know what to have as my second choice at all!!

(also when can we begin to apply for student loan?)

Bramall Court is quite far away from everything I'd go for a closer one your bound to get one of your choices but its up to you obviously! Are you going to look around accommodation when you go to the open day? Does anyone know how many accommodation you can look around?

yeah i am hoping too, i really want to look around the building i will be in then accommodation, because i can actually look at course and stuff on my applicant day?
I have no idea how many you can look round, but i presume if there is several tours all day (?) then you can just join them?

Yeah thats true! I'm going to look at as many as I can and hopefully that will help me make my decision! Its so hard I honestly don't know what to do! Its alright looking around them and thinking they look alright its just what its like to actually live there for students!

Hey all

I firmed my unconditional to study here next year and have been looking at accommodation. Forge will be my first choice and either Victoria halls or opal second. I'm stuck though because if I don't get in forge I've heard Victoria halls fills up quick so then il be in somewhere else I haven't even picked. Like I say I have an unconditional so if I apply for accommodation as soon as it opens next month surely il get my first choice wont I? Worrying!

How do you mean? This is my firm choice I didn't pick an insurance choice, I just mean if it's an unconditional and I apply early surely il get first choice accommodation?! Sports business, you?

I'm going to the applicant day too! But yeah you should be fine if you do that :smile: I've heard a lot of people saying the forge is really good and near to everything but it is a little dearer than some of the others? I have no idea what to do! I'm hoping this open day will help me
Ooo sounds good! I'm doing Events Management

Hiya, I applied for why first choice accommodation very early in the year but didn't receive my first choice and only got my offer back a week before I was supposed to start uni! all of them accoms are nice, I'm currently living at the forge but have visited victoria hals and opal 1 (fenton house) several times and they are all lovely! if i had to choose between the two though i would choose opal 1 for a second choice - it is newer and seems to have better on-site security! (i got stuck in there near the gates after visiting a friend and the guard tried to kick me out, hah)
