Nottingham Uni Accommodation 2024

Hello,
I have accepted Nottingham (Uni of) as my firm choice for September and have begun researching accommodation options.
I know I will opt for self-catered, and while location isn't that important to me, I would prefer a more social atmosphere.
Does anyone have any recommendations? I've looked into Southwell Hall, but I'm curious about the experiences of anyone who live/have lived there.
Thanks,
Harry

Hi,
I've got an accommodation question!!
I'm an undergraduate medical applicant, and I have received my Nottingham A100 offer (my top choice!) , however I haven't received any other of my medical offers.
I heard that the only way I can firm UoN as my 1st choice right now is by withdrawing my applications from the other universities (which is something I don't want to do, even though I don't want to go to those unis, as I'd still like to see if I passed the interviews).
However accommodation booking starts 3 April 2024. So I guess my question is whether accommodation is first come first serve in any way? If I wait a few weeks until I get all my offers, will the chances of me getting the accommodation I want, be reduced?
Please help!

I'm looking for ensuites in University Park campus or perhaps Jubilee (eg: Cripps, Deakins, Newark, Nottingham Two)

Yeah I believe those are first-come-first-serve but I think they don't usually fill up right away though.

How long do you think I have until it starts getting risky? As I don't know how many more weeks until I get my other offers, so do you think I still have a big chance of getting accom I want if I wait more than a week?

Icl mate I'd do it asap my teacher said the good ones go out really quickly like on the same day

shoot really?!? damn and i heard once you firm Notts you have to wait 2 days until u can book accommodation, so i cant even do it today.

Depends which accommodation you're after I think. A lot of the more popular catered halls (like Cripps, Derby, etc) go quickly I think, but yes it took 2 days for me to access the accommodation portal once I'd made an account after firming it.

has anyone had any accommodation confirmed yet?
I noticed a few of the room options now say fully booked when they didn’t before
i was booking mine at midnight as soon as it opened - the site kept crashing. i think if you want your top choice you should do it asap

i applied around 8am on the day it opened, i’ve just had an email saying i got my top preference, which was cavendish 😁

I've also just got my top preference which was Cavendish! What course have you applied for?

history 🙌 what about you?

pharmacy! i'm a bit worried that most people in cavendish will be doing humanities subjects tho so idk if ive made the right call choosing it even tho im gonna be a stem student. it'll still be nice to have a wide variety of people around tho! how are you feeling about everything?

i wouldn’t worry, i’m pretty sure there will be a mix of everyone in any halls! it seemed like a really nice accommodation when i looked on the open day so i’m excited, how r you feeling?
