Hi everyone, in this post I’ll discuss accommodation in Clearing to hopefully reassure you a bit!
Sometimes plans change when applying to university, and you might find yourself in Clearing.
One of people’s big concerns around Clearing is that they won’t be able to find suitable accommodation. However, don’t worry as this isn’t always the case!
Many universities offer guaranteed accommodation to people applying through Clearing, including us! The only criteria for this at the Uni of Reading is:
• You must have applied for a place in Clearing by 17:00 on 25 August 2023
• The programme you have applied for is a full-time undergraduate programme beginning in September 2023
• You accept your accommodation offer within two working days of receiving it
As well as this, you won’t have to choose accommodation without seeing it. You can attend a university Clearing visit day (ours is on Friday 18 August!). Which will give you the chance to explore campus, find out about the types of accommodation on offer, and (in some cases) even meet your department.
If you’re not able to get to campus this isn’t a problem, as we also offer virtual tours.
Virtual tours are a way of seeing the room types we have on offer, and finding out more about them. This way, you can hopefully find one that suits you!
Have a look around our
Accommodation Virtual Tour page at the many different types of rooms and accompanying communal areas available 😊
I hope this helps reassure you! If you have any further questions, you can put them on this thread.
