Still waiting to hear back from my final uni

Hello, I applied months ago (for early entry) and have been waiting for over 2 months to hear back on my final response worrying if this will affect my student finance and accommodation chances.
Is there any reason to be worried or will i be fine since I've already got offers from some and is there anything i can do to speed up responses?
Thanks for any help

You can apply for student finance now and sort out your preferred university later, so that isn't an issue.

Accommodation also shouldn't be an issue (bar one or two universities that like to use it as pressure tactics), most 'sensible' universities don't do a first come first served system. Have a look at the accomodation information page for each of your choices to see for yourself (they may not have even opened yet!).

The university has until Mid May, so it may just be a month of waiting.

You can call the university on Monday and ask when you'll get an update on your application.

What course and uni is this for?

Thank you so much for this will get my finance done soon.
Just waiting on international social and public policy and economics from lse while I've got an economics offer from bath (my current favourite if I don't get the lse offer).
If applications for accommodation are already open would i be at risk or is that dependant on the uni anyways?

LSE (as most London Unis) are known to be slow.

If you had the patience for Bath, I think you'll have the patience for LSE :')

Bath's accommodation opens in May.

LSE's one is open, but you will be guaranteed a space if you book before June 9 (LSE should have gotten back to you before then).

The majority of applicants - yes, really - are still waiting for at least one decision.

Yes, it could go either way, but you really are not alone in this, and every year thousands of decisions are made in the last week
