Consider carefully whether or not you feel able to share a room with someone you don't know before accepting
•
You only pay 50% of the total room cost whilst sharing
•
It will not necessarily be your permanent room
•
You will be offered your own room at the earliest opportunity
•
Temporary shared rooms are single rooms with bunk beds
•
It is not possible to share on a permanent basis
•
Don't bring too many belongings until you have your own room
•
We are unable to indicate how long you will have to share
•
You will only share with a person of the same gender
•
It is important to respect your roommate and their privacy
•
We ask that you do not have guests in your room while you are sharing
•
You may refuse two alternative room offers, but will have to move to the third room we offer you
•
Once you refuse a room, your priority is lowered and you will go to the bottom of the lis
•
Where possible we will offer a room in your current block because we know that you might have made friends, but can’t guarantee this
•
We will email you and your roommate to let you know that a room has become available
•
We recommend that you both go and look at the room
•
You both decide who will move:
•
This may depend on the type of room and what either of you can afford
•
One of you may have friends nearby
•
If one of you accepts the room, you will have 3 days in which to move and you will both need to accept a new contract
•
From the point of accepting a new contract, you will both be charged the full room rate
•
Should you refuse a room offer, it will be offered to another pair of students sharing a room and will be noted on your accommodation records. You should be aware that it may take some time before we can make another room offer to you
•
If you refuse two offers to move, you will be required to move to the third one offered
•
Even if you are not one hundred per cent happy with your room offer, you can accept it and request a room move to your preferred choice of room
