Hi
I have an unconditional offer to study medicine at BSMS. Medical student get to choose between lewes court or paddock fields. I have filled in the online application form and chose paddock fields as my first choice.

I haven't heard anything back yet. When will I be able to hear back from the accomodation office?
How likely am I to get my first choice?!

Accomodation Team,

I tried calling today to no avail, just an answer machine that made no sense and was of no help. Is the deadline tonight at 11:59 or is it until tomorrow night? The site wouldn't let me in last night but I emailed the accommodation address and then today I was able to gain access and submit the formal one. Will this definitely be included as before the application deadline?

Also with Varley Park- Kingston and Framfield, how many loos and showers are there in each flat?

Lastly I have a drum kit I wish to bring, would I be able to play in hall or unihome, and if not then have access to a storage facility in campus where I can play it?

Hi I'm currently buying all the things I need for uni. I wanted to know if paddock fields allowed students to have a mini fridge in their room as I know some uni's don't allow this.
Thanks

hello Brighton!
If I will study Fashion( grand parade campus) should I need to find accommodation in Grand Parade , right?
Also, I want to know if there are some free rooms in Grand Parade campus because I will come to this uni through adjustment.
Thank you!

Hi Brighton I applied for halls before the deadline (July 11th) however, I edited my preferences for accommodation (switching mouslecoomb for phoenix brewery as my first choice for halls) on the 22nd of July, post-deadline. Will this affect my chances of being allocated a room?

Hi,

This will not affect your chances of being allocated a room in university accommodation.

Thanks

Hi!
I just accepted my accommodation offer for an en-suite catered room in paddock field.

Will I have a kitchen in my flat even though I've opted for a catered meal plan?

Hi I'm super excited to say that I have received confirmation for my accomodation at Paddock Fields !!!
I'm just buying the last bits and bobs now. I wanted to know where I can find out what the kitchen appliances are in the self catered kitchens ?!

Hi,
I'm still waiting to hear if I've been successful with my halls accommodation application. When and how will I be notified?
Thanks

Helloo again Brighton. I have a few questions mostly regarding those paying for catered accommodation.

Firstly, is there a limit per day on how much food (within reason) one can take from the canteen? I.e. can I go back for seconds, and thirds if I'm feeling extra hungry, and would this all remain free? Are there rules against me putting my dinner from the canteen in my own plastic container and storing some/all of it in my flat's fridge for later in the evening, or must all food be consumed on-site?

Also, what internet speeds are typical for paddock fields halls of residence? Are there restrictions on large downloads/peer to peer sharing/streaming and such? And finally, to what extent can my activities on the network be monitored? I.e. can/are the websites I visit logged and to what level of detail? i.e. if I am on youtube, can the precise video I'm watching be seen, or when completing forms is there any way the university can/will see or intercept any data I am sending such as addresses or credit card numbers? Quite simply, what trade-off can I expect between network security/performance and my own privacy/autonomy?
