So I am waiting to be sent a link to set my password for the accommodation portal but I know I have to wait 72 working hours for the link to be sent(as I’ve just firmed Plymouth).
I’m just worried that I’m not going to get a choice for the halls I want ,or a place at all.
Should I be worried and do you think a lot of places have been taken up already?

Hello Everyone,
If you are going to be studying with us this September, congratulations on securing a place! If you still need to sort out your accommodation and find flatmates you can do this online via the university website https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/student-l.../accommodation.
You can access the dedicated website for further information about clearing accommodation here - https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/student-l...-accommodation.
Don't forget the University also offers postgraduate accommodation for those of you who will be studying for your graduate degrees! I stayed in university-managed halls and had such an amazing time! I had some really brilliant flatmates that were exactly what I wanted - I was after a more chilled out, quiet vibe and that's exactly what I got. You can enquire about spaces via the link provided https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/student-l...c-requirements.
Let me know if you have any questions about accommodation!

It’s 5 minutes away from Drake Circus the shopping centre and 8-10mins away from the University. It’s a very ideal location with everything within walking distance😍.
Room details:
8 person flat

Hello Student Reps, Which is the best accommodation for postgraduate mature students as I'm looking for the same chilled out quiet vibe, alcohol-free, cheap and cheerful? I just need some insider information and firsthand experiences, to point me in the right direction, please? Kind Regards, Harry.

I stayed in Robbin's standard postgrad halls, which meant I didn't have an ensuite and shared the toilet and shower room with my housemates. Luckily, I only had 2 other girls in my flat even though the flat had 8 rooms in total. As I stayed in the university-managed accommodation, I got to fill out a survey before I moved in, which basically let me suggest the type of atmosphere I'd like. For example, I said I go to bed quite early, don't go out much and I like things to be extremely clean. My housemates were amazing, and we were always the cleanest flat in the block (our cleaner gave us a box of doughnuts as a thank you for always keeping our communal areas clean and tidy). I could not fault the flat, apart from the fact that it is located close to undergrad flats so on the odd occasion you may hear people being loud before they go out, but this is quite normal considering you are close to some bars and lots of other student properties. With the university managed halls you can also state you are after an alcohol-free flat and they are really good at accommodating for this.
As for the other postgraduate accommodations, I never visited any so I cannot personally comment on this. If you don't mind sharing a house, you can always have a look on Spareroom.co.uk which has various rooms in a houseshare, usually, they will state if they are a professional house which caters to mature and/or postgraduate students which might also be a good option. On the other hand, you could go for the student shared housing which is usually stated in the description box on the website, however, if you're after a quiet environment I'd check what the current housemates are like and what ages they are, this can sometimes give you a good idea about the atmosphere.
I hope this helps! Happy house hunting.

How likely is it for postgrads who apply to receive accommodation? Do the spots usually fill up?

From my experience, not all of the rooms in my flat were occupied and people never moved in during the year. I will email the accommodation team to find out more about this and let you know.

I have just heard back from the accommodations team. I have been informed that they will usually always be able to offer a post-graduate room; however, your preferred room type may not be available. E.g. Large en-suites usually sell out first. This was the case for me and I had to move into a standard room where I shared a bathroom. This wasn't an issue for me as we had a cleaner once a week and I found it was always spotless.
If you have any more questions about accommodation you can send an email to [email protected] to discuss their availability.
I hope this helps!

Hi Everyone ,
I hope you are having a great week so far. I just thought I would talk about my experience in halls as many of you may want to know. I was in Robbins Hall, a university-managed hall. It was a great experience. The management team and the cleaners are all super friendly. They run events and competitions which are always great fun and often give away free food! My flatmates became like family and we often had flat cooking nights that are some of the best memories I have.
As usual, if you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Continue to stay safe.
