That's wonderful! And ditto to others - when did you apply? And what country are you from? (Feel free not to respond)

That's my first choice too and I just know I should have applied sooner.

I'm pretty sure it's not first come first serve, but good luck!

From what I've been told, it's done in stages.

It's not first come, first serve, don't worry! I only applied April 18th! I'm from the US and my offer was unconditional. I know people with conditional offers will hear back later.

I applied April 18th. I got an email this morning that told me I had an offer so I checked the website and that's where I found out which one I was in!

I guess it really isn't, since I'm also from the US with an unconditional but I applied April 15th. That's making me both more anxious and more relaxed. I didn't realize people would hear so soon, but I'm so glad I didn't apply late!

Hopefully you hear back this week? I don't really know what they're process is. I guess it's truly random? I did advanced entry into 2nd year so I don't know if that made a difference?

We'll find out! It's great that you know though, and that you got Deaconess.
hey :smile: i wanted to ask if there's anyone who can give some advice on postgraduate accommodation? the university's accommodation services' facebook page was filled with horror stories from pg students, and i want to evaluate all of my options.

i have chosen holyrood north - holyrood residence - morgan court and richmond place, but given my offer is still conditional (i haven't graduated yet) i have to wait until june anyway.
That's my choices made. Top choice is Portsburgh Court. Anybody got any experience with it? How is it?

I got an email about 30 mins ago saying i had an offer. I went through the stages it told me,i clicked 'launch services' which went to the student accommodation hub but didn't have any mention of an offer. It's the same page that i came to when i finish choosing my accommodation preferences. Any help?
Just got an email about an hour ago from accommodations! Got a single room at Holyrood North. Anyone else comin?
