Portsmouth uni Accommodation 2016

The halls already sent out are:
-Trafalgar
-James Watson
-Greetham Street
-Margaret Rule
-Langstone village

There are two Guildhall halls left- Harry Law. It's about a 2 minute walk from the Eldon building- don't know about the other buildings though.

Bateson too- It's the worst guildhall hall- shared bathrooms and it used to be a prison xD aha

Rees and Burrell are also available... Only a 2 minute walk from the seafront: really nice location, 2 meals a day.

I haven't got my accommodation email yet either- hoping for Rees!

Good luck :biggrin:

Oh no so it's likely I didn't get into Trafalgar then :frown:

. I really hope I don't get bateson but I have a feeling I will. I would love Rees but it's way over my budget. So I'm hoping for Harry law because I really want an en-suite. Thanks anyway and I hope you get into Rees halls :smile:

Was anyone able to actually view any Bateson halls? I kept trying to arrange a viewing as I'll have limited funds and bateson is the the cheapest halls but no one got back to me :frown:

Hi Izzy! Hannah from the Student Housing team here! We should be sending out the rest of the allocations over the next couple of weeks, so please bear with us! Aww, Bateson's not so bad! Affordable city-centre accommodation, with a shared bathroom (primes you for moving into your house next year!) and yup, it's solid but it means you don't hear the noise from your flatmates so much haha! Ooh, and it wasn't a prison!

Hi Chloe. Please email [email protected] to see if you can look at a room there but I don't know if this will be possible at this time as there are summer school students living there, but you never know! - Hannah from the Housing Team

I was very late in to the UCAS system and I got a firm offer from Portsmouth last week (I already have the grades needed). I haven't accepted yet but am now worried about accomodation. Does Lizzy's post mean that the halls that are mentioned have no accomodation left?

Yeah probably, because people have already received offers for the halls that were mentioned (so James Watson, Trafalgar, Margaret rule, Greetham and Langstone village halls) so it's likely they're all full. What halls did you want to get into?

Greetham or Margaret Rule - but guess that isn't going to happen now.

Hi everyone, Hannah from the Housing team at UoP here! Please bear with us during this very busy time. We are aiming to let everyone know about the outcome of their applications throughout the whole of July. There were many applications to process and then allocate hall rooms, so it takes a little while! Those who haven't heard yet, please be patient :smile:

we're getting there and it's only the 18th (and there's been 3 weekends in-between and we aren't open then). Please don't rush into looking for alternative accommodation until you've had a response from us :smile:

I'm in the same situation as you, I haven't heard back regarding accommodation, and every day that goes bye, I get even more worried, as I don't want the student village. And I know that it's kinda selfish of me, but I only really like my top 2 accommodation choices. I just want to know when I move in, as I live in Germany, so I gotta book flights and stuff ASAP to come over.

As soon as I hear what I get, I will let you know here :biggrin:

Thanks Hannah- the anticipation is killing me:P

Hahaha I guess the prison thing was just a rumour! I have a lot of people to educate about this :wink:

I just got an email saying I've been offered Bateson halls :frown:

I kind of expected it though. Really wish I got an en-suite hall. But oh well at least I'm not at Langstone.

I've got a friend at Portmouth UNI, now and he says the whole prison thing is true ;D maybe people are just messing with him. But he's convinced it's true :biggrin:

You'll be saving a lot of money though, so that's a positive!
