My daughter put the 3 new blocks down as her 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice, and 4 of the older blocks down as her 4th to 7th choices.
She has been adamant from day 1 that she did NOT want to stay in one of the older ones due to the shared bathroom and single bed, but the online application insisted on entering 7 choices, so she put the 4 older ones as her lower choices, hoping she'd get one of her top 3.
As it turns out she's been offered an older one (Muirhead, her 5th choice) and she really, genuinely, does not want to stay there.
My question is, what happens is she rejects it? Can she reapply? Is there any point in doing so? I mean, isn't it safe to assume her first 3 choices must be full, hence any re-appliction isn't going to get her one of those 3?
I'm conscious of the fact that they encourage first years to live on-campus and I'll certainly speak to her and encourage her to accept it, but she is properly heartbroken and really does not want to stay there. We have visited all the blocks at Open Day and Applicant's Day and she is quite claustrophobic and is panicking at the thought of staying in such a small room.
Thanks for any advice
