Official - Residences 08/09

Yes you're right. An email gets sent to you saying "We are pleased to offer you a place in University Residences for the 2008/09 session". Then you have to log onto the residence part on the university website and there it will say where you've been allocated. And then have 7 days to to the residence agreement.

same here! god damnit!
i did ring ucas though to check where my confirmation letter was though.. and it was sent on friday so god knows where it is now! rubbish postal service. gah.

Maybe your postal service sucks like mine and leaves your post in the road. I'm sadly not joking...

Your sig says you did ICT as well? Whoo, fellow ICT buddy.

rofl, well we got other post this morning, just none from ucas!
and yeah i did do ICT, although it was probably the biggest mistake ever- the department at our school was shocking. the pc's looked nice but never worked, and the teachers were awful. not one person got an A! I got nearly full marks in coursework and exam at GCSE too (different school). grrr. how did you do in ict?

Our department was exactly the same, I managed to get an A by 2 marks (481/600) and I was the first A grade in 3 years. I'm proud of having beat the system, lmao. I had to write 400 pages of coursework for both AS/A2 to get there and resit/resubmit a lot of **** too to get there though :P

haha well done! i only got 425, so I pretty much scraped a B. our marks must have gone down, because i was predicted a high B by my teacher before our work got sent off. ah well. Jackal, i think im gonna ring cardiff today. I just want to make sure everythings OK. ;/

Same, half 3/4 im planning on ringing! It wont do us any harm i suppose Let me know what happens!

What are you gonna ask them specifically? I was thinking along the lines of 'I was just wondering if everything's okay with my accommodation, as I haven't heard anything and I applied really early' except let's not both say that phrase word for word as they might suspect something :P

Haha well actually I was planning on saying exactly that! Hm.. I think i'll say: "I'm due to start cardiff uni in september but haven't yet recieved accommodation information (thats a mouthful!), despite applying early on in the process" I'll probably mention about other people who seem to have applied later but heard about accommodation earlier, just so it seems like I have a more valid reason to ring

Yeah jackal I think we're looking into this too much haha. We'll probably end up saying something completley different to what we planned!
Thanks for the number james I'll try today. I hope they have better hold music than UCAS!

I think 'The Final Countdown' on loop would be appropriate.
