Leicester A100 / A199 2021 Offer Holders

Original post by YoungLad2

Hi there,
I was looking at accommodation and saw the contract lengths varied from 39 or 42 week contracts. Would us medical students need to stay in a 42 week contracted accommodation as our course is slightly longer?

Hi!
So I think that the 39 week contracts are for accommodation in the village and the 42 week ones are for accommodation in the city! However you can obviously live at either as a medical student so if you choose the village you should get the option to add 1 extra week as medical students start 1 week earlier!

Hi guys, I don't know if I'm being dumb but how do you apply for accommodation?

Hi!
If you Google university of Leicester accommodation it should come up on the uni of Leicester website and you can browse the different accommodation options and apply for it all on there!

Does anyone know if they are running more offer holder information days?

Hi, unfortunately I'm not sure on the answer to this, especially due to COVID-19, but if they do you will receive an email to sign up!

Well done to everyone who has received an offer and to anyone who hasn't don't worry! There are so many options and it isn't an easy route into medicine! You don't realise until you are on the course how many students and grads, transfers or have taken 1+ gap years so you always have another chance, don't give up!

To any medic student that lived in the village: how was the travel to the uni during term time in the bus? On the website, I saw that there’s a frequent shuttle bus which is really useful but it’s only available from Mon-Sat. So what did you guys do on Sundays in terms of travel? 😂 Also, the bus pass you get, can you use it on other busses or just the shuttle bus?

Cheers!

Got an offer a few days ago but since there were no open days this year I don’t really know much about Leicester other than the course itself. Any advice for accommodation? Plus I was wondering if it would be worth driving to lectures as I’ve seen the village accommodations are 20 mins?
