About the direct debit form it asks to be sent off by 24th (Yes, got mine today, excited! :woo: ) it wants the Account holders full address (which if student is the full Hall address). I'm staying in Oak House, Sycamore Court so what should I put here?

Manchester's website gives:
'Oak House,
1 Moseley Road,
Fallowfield,
Manchester,
M14 6HX'

as the Administration Office at Owens Park. Is that ok to put down or do I need to put my hall/room number somewhere? :/

oh ****ttt i put my home address in that section lol...damn !!!!

BE.G.42.284 Oak house beach court...what does that mean :frown:


Beech Court, Ground Floor, Flat 42, Room 284.
At least you won't have to lug all your stuff up 3 flights of stairs, as you're on ground!!

What accommodation are you hoping to get?


Burkhardt - but I hope I'll get it since I applied on friday and they'll only allocate me a room once UCAS shows an unconditional offer (i.e. when Manchester get my clearing passport).
Do you think I'd be able to get it still? :s-smilie:

I don't think Burkhardt is in particularly high demand, but then again it doesn't have a huge amount of places available! So it's hard to say, I'd say you probably have a good chance. Good luck anyway:biggrin:

I hope not, I've got ground floor in Grosvenor St

I'm guessing Ground floor, flat 13, room 01. That seems to be the general pattern.


You were right, I checked with the accommodation office, so I guess the flats in Block B are numbered 13 to 24. Have you heard yet?

Nope, I'm still waiting :frown: Do you think they send the e-mails just at the beginning of the day, or might I get it later?

I got mine at half 10, but I suppose they could send them whenever. How late did you apply, or is it random?

I heard it was random, but I'm not sure. I think applied at the beginning of July, I guess that could be a bit later than most.

I applied mid-May, if that makes a difference at all. I'd leave it a few more days before you start to worry though :smile:

Still havnt recieved my accom but I phones the accom office and they said anyone who had manch as their firm would hear by sunday and most probably wednesday. If people had it as insurance or are through clearing it will take slightly longer. Hope this helps.

Just checked my Hotmail inbox and I've got the accommodation I wanted. :woo:

Owens Park, Tree Court, TD.02.13
Can anyone be a star and translate that? 2nd floor, room 13 perhaps?
I still haven't heard about my accomodation :frown: It's not looking good, I'm worried I'll get put somewhere catered or too expensive or something.
