Update: Unconditional offers from Portsmouth and Oxford Brookes. Warwick will surely take their time and I'm expecting to present a second PS. Nothing yet from Nottingham Trent or Kingston.

Any ideas what the nearest accommodation to the cyber security area is?

From a google maps' view for on-campus accommodation, I guess Tocil, Heronbank, Arthur Vick, Jack Martin Halls of Residences are closest to WMG, only if you want to live off-campus, then you have many other options. Have you got an offer for Cyber Security?

Heronbank is quite a bit further away than any of the others you've named (still only a 10 minute fast walk, but Claycroft and Tocil are much closer, followed by AV, JM, Whitefields, Rootes and maybe Bluebell :smile:)

See my reply above, but if you want to have a proper look yourself the interactive campus map is good for getting your bearings (also lets you look at floorplans etc.) https://warwick.ac.uk/about/visiting/maps/interactive/

Submitted my application months ago and haven't been asked to give an additional PS, just proof of my quals and reference. What exactly do you need guidance for? Sizing it or the contents? I believe you should already know what to write.
