I would assume its first come first serve. The hospitality system seems to allow you to apply despite not firming Kent - that's what I did; so you can apply for accomodation even if you're not sure.

They start allocating accomodation in August I think. But probably first come first served anyway.

I'd love to do a year in Japan, I've always wanted to go! Not that I'm jealous or anything :p:

I watched Tales from Earthsea last night with my girlfriend, I really liked it. Ghibli films are always so nice to look at and have great soundtracks!

I live about 200 miles away from Kent, and I've only had one opportunity to see the campus and the town, and of course, that day it HAMMERED it down with rain. I didn't really get to see very much.

Typical :p:

God.. I was going to apply for a scholarship but just completley forgot about it. You say its due in for the 14th?! Do you think its at all possible to get one done in two nights. Its not a very difficult essay to write.. and when I went to the UCAS day and people were asked to raise their hand if their applying for a scholarship only 3 people raised their hand out of about 300.
So might have a chance even if the essay is crap? lol

I pretty much started mine over from scratch today, so sure it's possible..

Not many people seem to know about scholarships, let alone apply for them, so its worth a shot :biggrin:

Woo!
Before I considered it its not that I didnt know about them but just that I never thought I would be clever enough for one. I always thought they were for like AMAZING students who play 8 insturments, are in 6 sports teams and got 5 As at A level.
And its just a 1000 word essay..

Even if I wanted to apply for a scholarship I'm pretty much screwed.
As I'm studying Classical Civ I need to send in a marked essay in order to obtain a scholarship.
Unfortunately I'm an external student and my A Levels are 100% exam based, so I don't have ANY marked essays!!!!
