I have not receive my forms!!! :eek:

Any of you international student here has received the application forms?? :confused:

I'm in Germany, and my forms arrived today. Go check your mail :wink:

What letter do English residents have in the "Fee category" field of the "Application for Residence, Academic Session 2004-2005" form? I'm just wondering as I probably still have to clear up my fee status (as an EU student).

mine says H for Home I think...

what do you have to pay, as an EU student then? do you pay international fees, or do you get home student fees because fo the fact that you're from the EU?

Thanks, 4Ed! My form says 'H' as well, though, so it seems everything is alright with that so far.

EU students apparently pay home students fees (see http://www.imperial.ac.uk/options/admissions_3.htm) while overseas students pay about ten times the amount - which is obviously why I'm quite keen to have that cleared up.

The reason why I'm asking is that my parents have moved to Norway and I gave their address as one of the addresses on my application. Hence, I was initially classified as overseas by Imperial.

that's good. I think most british universities will want as many people to pay overseas fees as possible, as they don't receive a great deal of funding - hence they tend to find as many international students as possible to top up their income each year. one of my friends was told he'd only get an offer if he agreed to pay overseas fees!

I'd doubt it matters, probably more for shared rooms, and maybe for corridors, but who knows. Probably honesty is the best policy!

Hmm i suspect your right it matters more for shared. Unfortunately my sleeping patterns vary alot because i find it very difficult to actually fall asleep(terribly light sleeper) and yet i require like 10hrs /day minimum, so filling in that box is hard anyway!

Heh, exactly the same with me, perhaps they should create a box for this!

It's mid-August, usually about the 13/14/15th or so.

No doubt someone knows the exact date?

Hey,

Just a quick question about the Imperial accomodation forms. I haven't received mine yet, but as I only sent my final decision through UCAS last week I don't expect to receive mine sometime soon.

I would like to know if the hall residence allocations are on a first-come-first-serve basis? Anyone already been notified which hall they've been put into? I'm getting anxious as I would like to have a hall near Imperial, but I haven't even received my forms yet!!

Hope to see ya all there this Fall!

I sent mine off the day after it came, I received a note to say they'd got it, but I wouldn't know any more until late August/September (I think, I can't find the letter now...)

You tick some preferences for hall type (e.g. single room, en-suite, catered; triple room; double room no en-suite self catering) and they try and get you the best match (for the Imperial halls). Then you tick preferences for intercollegiate halls, this time for the specific hall.

So, you don't get to choose directly.

Hope to see you this Autumn ;-)

Thanks for the quick reply!! Ok.. that just about answers my questions... but the wait until September will be excruciating!! I just hope I get into some decent hall.. I've heard that Beit is the best, with Fisher being the worse (and thus reflected in their weekly rentals..). Anyways, still wondering if they're allocated on a first-send-first-servce basis....

19th August for me, so most likely the same for everyone else.
