Newcastle accommodation

I was wondering if anyone else was having a similar issue to me. When the accommodation portal randomised my place in the que I got 2000 people ahead of me and now after an hour it says it’s paused but there are still 1000 people ahead of me. Does anyone know why it’s paused and if it’s what I think it is (no more rooms) what should I do?

Same has happened to me, I started at 1200 and something and now I'm at 226. It has said "the queue is paused" for about 20 minutes now. This is so frustrating 😭

1000%! I've got an exam tomorrow that I really need to be studying for. Instead I've staring at my tablet screen for almost 2 hours

ik... i'm worried that they have ran out of rooms for this batch release. so we'll have to wait until the 1st for the second batch. hopefully not tho!

I think that's probably what's happened. I'm on holiday over the next release day which is really not helpful. I feel like leaving it until the final one is cutting it way too fine too. I'm just hoping there's an update soon, this process is really unfair 🥲
