Thread for accommodation questions for 09/10 entry - READ & POST HERE FIRST :o)

I'm in Sciennes too! Whereabouts?

another Sciennester here

I keep saying See-Ens, but I bet that's wrong.

I'd love to know how they hand out accomodation, South College Street was my first choice, and I've been put in Sciennes (which is fine)- but it wasn't one of my three choices... how weird, haha! What were your preferences..? out of interest..

My MYED still reads that I either "haven't applied for, or rejected" an offer for accommodation. I applied the day the accommodation applications opened, and got a confirmation email, and haven't received anything since then.

Should I be worried? D:

Edit - Also, since when was Blackfriars open to students? That's the one I wanted most, but the application told me it was unavailable.

Sciennes 1, flat 8 room 3, you?

Hi everyone, just got my offer - I'm a Sciennester too!

Flat 10 Room 2, 22 Sciennes.

...we're flatmates

And thanks artorscience? I was wondering how to pronounce it too lol...

Does anyone think that it is possible to change halls, or do you have to wait until later and say that you are unhappy where you are??

Do any halls have spare capacity, like the most expensive ones?

It's unlikely that you'd be able to change accommodation at this point - there is very little leeway until a month or so in and the first wave of Freshers drop out.

In years that are as over subscribed as this year, when the university is leasing additional property from other landlords, of course there is no accommodation remaining free. Accommodation services fill up their own accommodation first before going through the loss making excercise of sourcing alternatives.

i just got an offer of accomodation at turner house and I'd really like to know what you thought about it!
