I'm afraid I'm not actually sure of the answer to this, sorry! :frown:

I'd suggest getting in touch with the uni directly, if you can't find anything on their site :yep:

Anyone booked Prestige Student Accommodation “The Residence”

On the website it says they are taking bookings from 05/10/2019. Visited at the weekend, there’s no way that place is going to be ready in 2 weeks.

I'd suggest having a look at the course profiles for those at a couple of unis then, and perhaps attending some open days if you're able to - see which interests you the most, and go from there! :biggrin:

Honestly, it's hard to say - in general I wouldn't say there is an issue with aiming for one or two unis asking for above your predicted grades, but I wouldn't suggest doing so for all of them. Generally 2 above your predicted grades, 1 - 2 at your predicted grades, and 1 - 2 below your predicted grades (depending how you split the latter two) seems reasonable to me, though I'm not sure what the 'official' recommendation is on this :tongue:

I had my Skype interview scheduled today at 9:30 AM (UK local time), been waiting for 3 hours now but no response or call received. Should I be worried?
