Is it too late to apply for accommodation in May?

Hi,

Since it is Easter break now, I am unable to firm UCL until I get approval from my school Uni adviser. Is it too late to apply accom for first year undergraduate? Usually are we able to allocate to our desire accom base on our first choice selection? Thank you!

They begin their allocation process in April, so potentially you have less chance of getting your preference. However, note that they don't send everything out at once and continue right through to August.

"Offers will be sent out between April and the end of August.

We allocate rooms based on preferences. Not all offers are generated at once, so we kindly ask you to bear with us and be patient."
