Yes the course starts on 20th and freshers activities start on 13th. I think registration will probably be online from the 6th, We’ll probably find out more about registration very soon.

Hi, I also got an offer yesterday. I had some issues with UCAS so emailed admissions if they could confirm they received my clearing referral, and they said they have but it hasn't been confirmed in UCAS yet. I think we just have to wait a bit longer but it is so stressful!

Hi, is anyone else who met their grade conditions still waiting for a UCAS track confirmation of their place ? On the QUB portal my status is still ‘decision pending’, and I’m quite worried about it.

I’d give them a ring tomorrow and see what’s going on.

I’ve already phoned and they said it’s just a case of waiting, I’m mainly looking to see if anyone else is in the same position :smile:

I spoke to them earlier today and apparently they’re up to the first two weeks of April’s allocations. I applied back in feb, the day after the accommodation portal opened, and got my offer a two weeks ago. I had circumstances change, which meant I had to decline that offer and reapply for a different accommodation and I was told that I’d be right to the bottom of the list. They also advised me to seek alternative accommodation just in case they don’t get back to me with an offer before terms starts. If you go to your email you’ll hopefully see an email from them regarding Liv Student Belfast. Google it and see if you like it. It’s at least a starting point for me for an alternative accommodation to Queen’s own. I’m considering it because I’ll be more unlikely to get an offer before you guys and before term starts. Lemme know if there’s any other grads considering it.

Yh I did. It was just too risky, in my opinion, for me to wait for Queen’s accommodation to get back to me. The studio I got was for the same price as Queen’s accommodation (£149/week) but the room is bigger. It’s a longer walk, granted, but there’s good transport links so it won’t be too bad- hopefully haha.

Yep, it's quite a long walk to QUB and it would be a lot faster to use a cycle. And I was wondering about how many of us are in LIV, cuz it is a bit of a distance between the university accommodation so interactions among us may be a bit tough. But again, that's what I think and idk I may be wrong : )

No no it’s a very valid point. I know from speaking to the LIV team when I booked that there were some queens students who had already booked their accommodation with them so I know we won’t be the only QUB students. But, we will probably be an even smaller group being medical students. My friend who goes to Newcastle, had accommodation a bit further out of the city centre and she said that because of this, her flat mates made more of an effort to get to know the other people in the flat and surrounding flats in the building because they were distanced out from the uni and other uni accommodation. Five years in, and she still lives with some of them. So I’m not too worried about being limited in the interactions I have with other people. You’ll see the same faces when waiting for a bus, or leaving for a 9am lecture, or going out to the same club/event and you’ll slowly get to know people that way. It’s awkward I know, but take it from a former very introverted and awkward grad, you’ll be okay, you’ll soon find people you actually feel a connection to and want to spend more time with them.
