Accommodation for insurance

You have to pick a college and accommodation preference now but the hierarchy for on-campus accommodation is firm students > clearing students > insurance students, so the chances are you will not receive on-campus accommodation and will have to look elsewhere.

The main problem with this is that most of the decent off-campus accommodation is already booked by second and third years, so you will have to make do with one of the less pleasant places (i.e. CityBlock).

Also, all off-campus first years are assigned to Country College regardless of which colleges they applied for.

I thought the hierarchy was firm > insurance > clearing?

It is at most unis, but not at Lancaster - they guarantee clearing students on-campus accommodation to attract people who end up in clearing, and this comes at the expense of the insurance students.

I was an insurance student who had to live off-campus due to the uni prioritising clearing students over insurance students.

Wtf that's retarded.

Yeah, my year was the first year they did it so it was a bit of a shock to get rejected from on-campus accommodation and then go onto the Facebook page and see all the clearing students with offers for a room.

Apparently they were having trouble filling up their courses the year before and had to think of something to entice students in clearing to choose Lancaster.
