Accommodation

Does anyone know what the best accommodation is on campus at QM?
I'm looking at France house but from the website it seems as though the only benefit is a bath, does anyone know any other benefits of going for the premium accommodation?

Hey! France House is one of the premium ensuite rooms, with ensuite baths and overhead showers. The rooms are slightly more modern that some of the other accommodation and the views of the canal are incredible! Check out our instagram for some shots from the building and our France House page: http://www.residences.qmul.ac.uk/college/qmaccommodation/mileend/france/ if you want to know more. If you want to know anything else, feel free to reply! - Sarah

Thanks! Are the rooms in France house any bigger than the standard ensuite rooms?

Not sure about the exact sizing, but you can get an idea of room size on the virtual tours: http://www.estates.qmul.ac.uk/accomodation_files_0909/3b-c/index.html

Yes exactly! It's really bugging me haha because everyone else seems to have applied for accomodation, and we can't yet!
I know, it's so annoying- I keep thinking I must have missed something!

Me too! I hope they give us some notice when they do open the applications- I don't want to be late in getting my first choice!

Is there anyway, when applying for accommodation, to choose which building one would like to live in?

I applied for accommodation last night, and there were four options and it wasn't by building just whether you wanted premium, standard, economy or something else:smile:

Thanks for your answer! However, I haven't gotten any e-mail from QMUL yet with a username and password which if I understood correctly is what you need to apply to accommodation. :frown:. What are you going to study?

I got the email the day my student finance was accepted and I received a letter about how much I would get. Yeah, they send the email with details on logging in and applying. I'm sure it'll come soon if you applied for finance!! I'm studying History, you?:smile::smile:

You don't have to have finished your finance, I've not done mine but I've had the email about accomodation:smile:

Oh thats cool! Guess it was a coincidence I got it on the same day haha!!:smile:
Anyone actually applied and got an answer yet?

How long after firming QMUL do you get a mail with the logon details?

What are the questions asked during registration?

I think I firmed late January, and then I got my log on details just on Monday. I think I read somewhere that we won't find out until July? Not sure though. I was asked things like whether I want to stay in single-sex halls etc, literally I think there was 3 or a bit more Q's overall
