Lancaster Accommodation

Do you think they give out accommodation on a first come first served basis? I mean you’ve put in your application pretty fast in that case so you’ve got a good chance

Hey hey,

Just thought I'd jump on and give my experiences.

I am now in my third year and currently living in town, but during my first year, I went for a standard room (shared bathroom) in Grizedale. I chose Grizedale as it wasn't too far from the center of campus, they offered standard rooms and even though I didn't live in a townhouse, they were so close by and easy to go and socialise at. For me, I knew I wanted a standard room as I really was not fussed about sharing a bathroom, and it saved me money. So that really narrowed down my college choices. Obviously sharing a bathroom is not for everyone, but every college offers ensuite (private bathroom) rooms so there is plenty available.

For me, choosing a college was mainly based on location and accommodation type, but I also looked at the Instagrams and social media of all the colleges to get a vibe for them. Saying that, all colleges offer roughly the same thing, and its worth remembering that just because you are in one college, does not mean you cannot use other college's facilities e.g. I probably spend more time in Fylde Bar as they are the sports bar.

Hope that helps someone,
Kat

Hi, just a general enquiry but not sure if posted in the right part so feel free to move to different thread if necessary. So, I've selected Lancaster through clearing and have been accepted their end and had it confirmed in ucas this morning. I have since recieved an email from Lancaster with a login and password but no link or anything. I am still showing as 'limited access' if I try to enter details on the normal Lancaster student portal so am a little confused. I am trying to sort out accommodation and have no idea how to do this as yet. Any help please?

When I got my accommodation offer I was to login to accommodation.Lanca.ac.uk and got in there but my portal hasn’t updated yet probs because not enrolled yet

Yes, exact same problem. Have you specified your preferences already?

Yes, all I have to deposit and accept the accommodation offer but I can't access it.

Anyone else having issues with accessing the accommodation portal? I cant seem to log-in because I keep getting an error letting me know that they can't find my student record (I did not apply through clearing; this is my firm)

I had to set up a Friend Account password to get through to my accommodation page

When you get to the WebLogin page through the blue link in the letter click on
"Forgotten your password? then "Reset the password for my Friend Account (e.g. [email protected])" then change your password.

Then go back to the WebLogin page and put your user name as your email address and then the password that you created, and hopefully you can open your accommodation page.
