University of Edinburgh Accommodation Thread for Entry 2012/13

Is there anybody from rest of EU who is struggling to find a UK Guarantor?

Same question as above, what do you need it for?

Also, it might have been asked before, but are there great differences in size between large/standard/small rooms?

There's one thing I don't really understand, Edinburgh say they don't allocate places on a first come first serve but I don't know how else they would do it. Just getting slightly worried because I've just resubmitted my accommodation application again because of the newly added accommodation but people are already getting allocated places, so is it going to be really unlikely that I'll get any of my choices? (I'm sitting my A Levels so I'm not UF yet)

what is it, what do you need it for? (I'm RUK as well, and wondering whether I am forgetting to do something)

hey, sorry if something similar has already been asked but can someone recommend some halls. I definitely want to have self-catered accommodation and have my own small room. Anything close to where computer science lectures are and an en-suite would be bonus. Any ideas?

from what I heard, there's not much difference. Generally, go for the smallest room offered, as it is cheaper

Well if you're an A Level candidate you won't receive an offer until after results day because you won't be UF until then. Allocations are made proportionally. When they make a round of offers they take account of previous years. So if they know that they have previously had 3 applicants for every 2 spaces in a building, when they fill the first 20 spaces, they will place 10 people who that building as their first choice somewhere else. In reality, the vast bulk of applicants are from England/Scotland/Wales/Northern Ireland/Ireland and are waiting for results to become UF, so you're not at any particular disadvantage.

Just confirmed mine Any one else Flat() , 1 Kincaid's Court or nearby? I'm room ()! x

Flat ()College Wynd, anyone else??

Just a wee note about sharing details - remember that TSR is publicly visible and searchable, meaning everyone and anyone can see the details that you post. The moderation team highly recommends that you do not post your full addresses (eg: room numbers and flat numbers) on TSR and use PMs instead so that only the people you intend to share this information with get access to it. I'd hazard a guess that a lot of people wouldn't be so quick to post their full home address and/or their parents house yet everyone is incredibly quick to post full university accommodation addresses. We're not saying don't share details as it's a natural thing to want to do, more just be aware that the main forums of TSR are visible to completely everyone on the internet and it can be very easy for the world to find out a lot of personal information about someone if they're sharing accommodation details along with their facebook information/other data within the same thread.

If you're in catered accommodation is it possible to make lunch to bring with you during the breakfast?

Myed has been saying "A link will be posted shortly" for a week now, I'm getting impatient as I wait to see where I've been offered a room.
