Those who got in through clearing !!

Hi, I'm looking for accommodation nearby the uni! I just confirmed my offer thrhough clearing too

I'm studying law! How did you find a housemate and a place to live in?
Seriously worried about off campus accommodation

This the message Accomodation Services sent out last year.


"Hi all,

I have the following update from the accommodation team which might be of interest to some of you:

* Update on Accommodation for Clearing Students 2016/17 *
We wanted to update you on the accommodation situation for University accommodation.
We have finished allocating all the Firm and Insurance students, and have a small number of rooms available.
As we know there are not enough rooms for all clearing students and we are going to be holding a ballot for the remaining rooms. To be considered you must have an application in by 4pm tomorrow Thursday 15th September 2016, if you have already made an application for accommodation for 2016/17 then you do not need to apply again. We will enter all applications into a ballot and offer rooms to successful students on Friday 16th September, any student offered will then have 4 days to accept or reject their offers, any rejected room or rooms not accepted at the end of the 4 days will be then offered to the next applicants via the ballot position.
Please be aware that rooms types are extremely limited, as a result it is likely that you will not be offered a room that is high on your preferences list.
Follow the link to apply online: http://www.surrey.ac.uk/accommodatio...ents/index.htm

If you have any questions please get in touch with our accommodation team directly - contact details here: http://www.surrey.ac.uk/accommodation/contact/index.htm"

Yeah

Oh haha! Yeah I'm more than willing to be a housemate, will you be willing to send me further details?

How much rent do you think you'd be able to afford per week? Do you want the link for one of the houses I've found, not really looked into it yet as only went to speak to the uni's accommodation services today. Did you go to the clearing event as well? Might have seen you

I spoke to one of the uni's accommodation services today, they said a on campus accommodation is not guaranteed. They assured me to use social media to get in touch with other undergraduate offer holders and I found you.
I'm willing to pay up to/around £150 and it must be a close walk to the uni though. Please send me a link

I'm not quite clear about the whole process for this year, what are your plans?
Has Surrey messaged you whether or not they'll do something similar this year?

I started this thread because I'm currently accommodation-less and looking for housemates as I just got in to study economics. Think you may have misunderstood my typing, haha. And same! I have found some nice houses on right move, just need some other undergrads so we can share the rent !!

Hey I'm also accommodation less atm and will be studying economics too. Have you found any houses nearby yet?

I came across a post that said GU1 and GU2 postcodes are walking distance from the uni so maybe we should look in those areas?
