Just filled out my accommodation form...

1. Prospect Point
2. DB Self catered ensuite
3. Philharmonic Court self catered

All applications are processed when the offer becomes unconditional so I should receive mine back pretty soon :biggrin:

can anyone help me out :smile:

i've firmed liverpool today and i'm stuck on accomodation

everyone on here seems keen on prospect point, why's that? does anyone reckon it'd be a dodgy walk past the hospital at night etc. my course is quite intense so i would like something onsite so i could go to my flat at lunch if i need too, but i really want ensuite/self catered so i don't have many choices

do you think it'd be too late to get a decent choice now? i had my interview on the 23rd and just got my offer, so i'm still waiting for the accomodation form

is anyone worried about the bus service form off site campus's? someone said that derby and rathbone, where i'd be more inclined to go, has it's own service in the mornings so it's easy to get a bus, but then i read on other threads that it's the same bus which means the one from carnatic sometimes has to go straight past greenbank and you could be waiting ages. i'm not a massive partier but definately want to make good friends outside my course

ahhh what a hard decision :P please help!

i wish liverpool had onsite campus,self catered and ensuite that was popular with first year undergraduates :P

Everyone seems to be going for Prospect Point...gah I'm confused.

At first I was under the impression you should really go off campus...

Need to sort it out tomorrow ideally. Was going to go for D&R s/c, e/s ideally but was told today apparently that has loads of international students.

Don't know who/what to believe!

I was under that impression at first too, I went for prospect point in the end though with D&R s/c second choice (can't be bothered with getting buses). I thought international students were often placed at the on campus ones e.g. melville grove

everyones going for prospect point because its on campus and has a self-catering ensuite- i dont really want to go to d&r because its so far away from the uni and i would have to get a bus everyday too :/ is liverpool accomodation first come first serve for the conditional people?

what i really want is a self-catered ensuite on campus but only prospect point gives me that- fingers cross for first choice! x

In the end I just decided to play it safe. Even though I initially wanted self catered, en suite, I thought I'd just go for somewhere without any risk of it being poor socially. I see it more about the people as opposed to the actual accommodation I suppose. Thrown in what was going to be my first choice as my second choice just for some variation...

1 - Dale Hall (catered)
2 - D&R (self catered, en-suite)
3 - Lady Mountford House (catered)

Yeah, I think a lot of international students were placed at the on-campus ones. But there are also quite a lot at Carnatic and Greenbank. It is just first come first serve really. Plus, what's wrong with international students? I found them really friendly and I'm glad I got the chance to know them and their culture during my days in Carnatic! :smile:

The bus isn't that bad you know, only takes about 15-20 mins to get up to the halls, and in my time living up Smithdown, I only had to wait a couple of times.

They assign it once your offer is confirmed (ie results day), so people who meet the firm choice will get preference (as their offer is generally confirmed quicker than insurance). Then insurance people, once confirmed, and then finally those through clearing.

So for all intents and purposes, it is FCFS. Prospect point may do it differently, as it's not owned by the Uni.
