CC4014 Chancellor's Court. And it's a twin... I don't know who my roomie will be so I'll call her Henrietta to myself until I find out.

I really hope I don't get a twin. I certainly didn't ask for one. I think I'd try my luck with private accommodation if that happened.

I practically got told off by accommodation services right now for appealing. Well at least WPC is pwetty. For the time being, I'll just concentrate on not thinking of all the uncomfortable scenarios that can arise with two people sharing living space :s-smilie:

It could be that although they chose NAP there other two choices also were getting full where as maybe you had choices which weren't so full.

This twin-room deal is a bit concerning... I though they gave consideration to the fact that you specifically apply for single rooms. Talk about totally ignoring privacy considerations. I really hope I don't end up in a twin room...

I think the issue is that the vast majority of people apply for a single room, meaning although you can apply for a twin room I doubt many people actually do so meaning there will be spaces available. There are only X amount of places in the university meaning some people who wanted a single room will have to be placed in a twin room so there is room for everyone to live there. I think the number of twin rooms varies each year - I certainly never met anyone who shared a room in my first year but I know people in the year above me, and the current first years who shared rooms so it probably depends on intake. It's completely the luck of the draw where you end up. It's not done on a "this accommodation is full so we'll move onto your next choice basis" as that's not fair on people lower down the pile, and also the conditional offer holders who won't be allocated a room until August.

Argh!!! I am so annoyed! Edinburgh have allocated me catered, bunked accommodation in Pollock Halls. Bad enough that it's shared, but catered as well - having asked for single, self-catered accomm anywhere but Pollock Halls, this is ridiculous! I can't afford catered accommodation if I come to Edinburgh. Before I was fairly philosophical about ending up at my insurance, but now I'm dreading it. They said in the email that this info might affect people's decisions to study at Edinburgh - bit bloody late now to be telling us! ARGH!

Got the same email. I am SO annoyed. It's only my insurance too but i'm not sure on getting the grades for my firm. I can't imagine sharing a room, what a nightmare and the prices are stupid considering you have to share :frown:

Same situation, does this leave us with no chance of self catered?!

Pretty much .... basically if we want to live in uni accomodation then thats what we're going to get because of high numbers of applicants etc. I'm thinking about private but Edinburgh is notoriously expensive i think.

Did you get the email or did you just get an offer of accomodation?
