Uni of York Accommodation 2025

I suspect if you put the most expensive Constantine room as your first choice you may well get it as lots will be going for the cheaper option. Other than that I don’t think you can do anything else to help your chances!

Hi- I’ve been researching about accom at York, and understand that they don’t have a ‘first come first serve’ system as such, and instead ask you to select 7 preferred choices for colleges.
I’m going to be studying law( East Campus), and much prefer East Campus, so would love to go to Constantine,( which is my favourite college there) and will be willing to pay the higher amount for the great accommodation there.
So I’m just wondering( from any current students who went though the college app process, York representatives for accom/ applicants for this year who have a plan to get a specific college), if there is any way I can guarantee/ make my chances for Constantine as high as possible, as it makes the most sense for me, and I wouldn’t like to lose out on it.
Many thanks in advance.

Hey, I know this is a long shot - I've applied for York to do a Biology undergraduate this year and with results today I was also offered accommodation at Constantine college. Unfortunately it's a shared bathroom which is not at all what I'm looking for due to medical reasons (It's slightly annoying that you have to apply to some shared bathroom accommodation.) I've already emailed the university to try my best to get it changed, but I'm not sure to what extent they'll be able to help.
All this is to say, with some digging about room swaps came across this post. If by chance you're still going to York, got in and didn't get the accommodation you want I'm currently looking for a swap to an ensuite room. I'm not bothered about if it's on campus west or east, or price, but would prefer self catered. If you are interested send me a message and hopefully end up in accommodation we both want
Hope results day went well for you

I’ve also been offered my 5th choice today which is a shared bathroom which I can’t really accept due to religious reasons as it is also mixed accommodation, I’ve sent York an email but I’m not sure what should I do? I feel like I have no option and don’t understand why the uni forces us to choose shared bathrooms as an option

felt this, i called them and they offered me a bit more expensive accom off campus like 20 minutes walking which im gonna have to go for because i cant do shared bathrooms
