Just firmed my place today - graphic communication and illustration :biggrin:

I firmed for graphic communication and illustration too! I'm thinking about Butler Court for accommodation because it's close to the Design School building

Hi!! I've firmed Loughborough to study psychology and was curious as to who else has? I'm so nervous I'm not going to get in as psychology is a competitive course and they're asking me for AAB. But fingers crossed!

Hi! I'm in exactly the same boat, the course looks so good just hoping to get the grades now! What A-levels are you doing?

Did everyone see the new Guardian league tables? Loughborough is 4th in the country overall. Congratz Loughborough staff! Hope it stays good for the next 4 years :biggrin:

Anyone doing Mechanical Engineering like me? Loughborough is 3rd in the UK for that subject.

Hey, I firmed for Banking, Finance and Management, but my offer is conditional. I was wondering if I can reserve a room when I meet my conditions or do I need to wait until mid August? I'm pretty sure I will have nothing left to choose from until then and I am a bit nervous about it. Does anybody know any details about that?

Hi AnaAnie

Great to hear that you're planning to join us here at Loughborough!

If you have chosen Loughborough as your firm choice, you will be able to register for accommodation on 1st June. Once you have received your results on 18th August and you have met the conditions of your offer (fingers crossed! :wink:

), we'll send you a timeslot during which you'll be able to reserve your room.

The process is the same for everyone so you don't need to overly worry about missing out!

Good luck with everything! Let me know if you have any other questions in the meantime :smile:

Hi everyone, I've just been skimming through these and just wanted to give you all a quick warning that you shouldn't set your heart on any particular accommodation.
When your slot comes up to reserve a room, most 'desirable' places are gone within the first minute, and the rest following shortly after. You're left to fill out a preference form, which means that you may still get your first choice accommodation if it's still available, but it's definitely not a sure thing.
So keep in mind a second and third choice before you go to pick, and snatch one of those up as quick as you can if you don't get your first. It may feel disappointing at the time, but speaking from experience, you'll love wherever you are regardless. Your experience will not be hindered by the place you've been given to stay.

(As a side note, however, if you're not one for being woken up at god knows what time in the morning by drunken shouting/chanting, The Holt is fab. It's no further from lectures than the student village is - except it's a good twenty minutes from the engineering side of things - and I make it to lectures in six minutes, so don't let it being off campus put you off)
