The practice should be banned in my view. The amount of students who end up with zero or crap accommodation is vast. And they will always be staring at their SFE application that never changes from processing. At the very least it should shut in July to leave some time to prepare.

This is an interesting POV, without Clearing closing, what else do you think could be put in place to ensure these barriers are minimised? :smile:

The process should at the very least close earlier, and students should make sure they are 100% certain they have made the correct decision regarding their choices. It is crazy how clearing is still operating at some universities at this very late hour.
