HYMS A100/A101 2020 Offer Holders

Anybody going to the Hull applicant day on the 7th March?

Can I choose my accommodation to be in Hull or to be in York? And if so how do I do that?

When you receive an offer you get allocated to either Hull or York campus, they tend to take things like where you currently live etc into consideration before allocating you.

Thanks for your reply! How long does it typically take for that to come through?

I asked about swapping campus and they made me fill out a form. they said that I’ll find out in August if I can swap so I hope it’s a yes. really want to go to york does anyone know when you start applying for accom

I wanted to swap to Hull and got the same reply saying that it depends if in August they have any spaces. The only down side is that I won’t be able to apply for accommodation in Hull. I wouldn’t be able to pick which accommodation i want to go to. It’s like getting in through clearing. You might not even find a room in student halls.

That's not necessarily true - not all the accommodation will be full and people who apply to certain halls that you want to go to may be going to York, so that's a space you could fill. Honestly don't worry about it, it's more likely they'll be able to sort something out for you that you like. Even if it doesn't go according to plan, it's only for a year because you'll have to reapply to student accommodation anyway

Aw I hope if I do get to move to York I can choose my accom cause the whole prospect of halls is very scary to me. I don’t think I’d be able to survive in a hall that doesn’t have an en-suite. I’ve tried before on a school trips and ncs and I can’t live like that for a year

I hope we both do haha! And I get you, but all of Hull accommodation has ensuite bathrooms anyway except Taylor Court I think, and is basically the same price as the Courtyard and Westfield Court. All their accommodation is brand new and honestly it's really nice, so I don't think that's a defining factor. How come you want to be allocated to York anyway?

It’ll be way easier for me cause it’s only an hour away when Hull is 2. That’s the main reason anyway but idk if I want to go york anymore cause of the stress of accom and the fact its mixed gender flats

Yeah I get that, that's the main reason why I want to go to York. I'm more familiar with York as well compared to Hull. Pretty sure Hull has mixed gender flats too but I'm not sure, but you can ask to be placed on a single sex floor, whatever your reason is. If it's religious reasons then they should be able to respect that, and I'm sure you can ask the same for York.

Hull has mixed gender flats. Do not this for a fact but I’d imagine you can request single gender and they would try to accommodate if possible.

Yeah but it’s more likely I could apply for a single gender flat at Hull and get it than york because I would be applying one month before deadline when most places would be taken at York
