Accommodation for Insurance Choices

I’ve put down City, University London as my insurance but I’m scared if I went up going there, what would my accommodation situation be? I’ve sent an email to the uni and they’ve said chances for space for insurance choices are slim. If I don’t get accommodation, what should I do? Has anybody been in this situation?

You next best bet is to probably rent out a house nearby with friends. Probably start looking around the area for cheaper student accoms or houses. Also start going to uni chat groups and make some friends in case u need to do a shared house.

Hello! The demand for accommodation is always high during each intake, especially in September. Therefore, our Accommodation Team cannot guarantee the availability. My advice is that you can look for some alternatives, such as private student accommodation or shared houses. However, try to search as early as possible to be more proactive.

Best wishes,

Also put City as insurance and looked at Scape Shoreditch as an option if no uni accommodation available.
