Undergraduate Medicine accommodation

I’ve got an offer for Medicine, at my first choice uni but I still haven’t got replies from other unis. The application process for accommodation opens in March and it’s likely that I still won’t have heard back from my other choices. On the uni’s website it says I can only apply if I have firmed the offer. I’d like to firm the offer. But ucas says you can only firm an offer when you have received a response from all unis. I want to apply for accommodation earlier if possible so that the room/hall choices aren’t limited but at this rate I can’t see how I can. Are there any other medicine applicants who have had this problem before. What do I do?

I had this problem when I was applying as well. Some medical applicants receive their offers later than everyone else. In the end it wasn't a problem and there were a lot of spaces left.

If you're happy to say which medical school it is, there may be a medical student on TSR from that uni who would be able to advise you further. My general advice though is not to worry about it - or if you are going to worry, there's always the option of emailing the uni accommodation services and explaining your concerns.
