all my flatmates are international post graduates

I emailed the uni and they’ve moved me to a flat with freshers YAY

That's brilliant, I was just about to suggest you asked to move.

The person who allocated you into your first flat must have been an idiot

yeah they even said in their email “we’ve realised the room you were allocated was not as ideal as it could’ve been” so weird haha

My daughter had a similar thing but they allocated her a flat with all girls (not asked for) including one who insisted that none of them were "allowed" to invite any male friends to the flat ever, for religious reasons.

She complained and the accommodation office got her moved within a couple of days

Lanacaster for her first degree but this happened at Reading where she did an MSc.

She didn't expect to be put in a party flat as she was postgrad but equally she didn't want to be in a boring flat
