I think it’s just giving you information on the process of enrolment which is to follow. Have you had your college confirmed yet? If you have then they should shortly send you a username and password in emails to allow you to enrol and be able to set up emails and select any optional modules on Monday! Hope this helped xx

Was the 'Before you Arrive' email last thing you received from durham before your college confirming your place or not??

Durham was my Insurance choice.

My friend also had Durham as her insurance and hasn’t heard anything yet so maybe they’re doing allocations in batches? I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about, I think we’re meant to hear back by 5th September which is less than a week away now. It’s super stressful and the uni doesn’t really help alleviate any of that but I’m sure it’s all gonna work out!!xx

I havent had my college email me at all which is so weird im so stressed like did i not enrol properly?lmao
Was Durham your firm? There seems to be loads of people in this position so I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about!! As far as I’m aware enrolment doesn’t begin until your college has been confirmed so that’s probably why.

I REALLY hope i dont get re-allocated as well fr lol. But yeah I wish they just sent it sooner as opposed to having us wait ALL this time; its literally been 16 days....

My college hasn’t been confirmed yet, but they resent me that email a day or so ago along with another email about career and enterprise support.

I think even if reallocation happens it’ll just be nice to have confirmation of where we’ll be so we can also enrol too!! I’m sure wherever you get placed you’ll love, even if it is reallocation!

No but I really loved the look of Hilde Bede on the open day, and Thats where i actually needed to be ifkwim. One of my best friends of 10 years is going there too, so it would be so easy for us hahaha. Hopefully i dont get reallocated but yeah

My son did have Durham as his firm and hasn't heard anything yet. His college was Grey and I hope they don't reallocate him as it was his first choice too and close to the Maths building.

Yeah durham was initially insurance for me and I switched to firm... hoping I don't get re allocated because I love john snow...

So i'm firm and was pre allocated 'Trevs', I am still awaiting a confirmed college/accom email, and im awaiting my login for enrolment stuff. I rang the uni the other day, and they said that just have to wait for the colleges to be confirmed (should be before 5th september) once colleges are confirmed, their system has a box that is ticked and the enrol logins etc should follow with further info

If it makes you feel any better, when John snow confirmed me they mentioned new accommodation so with the extra spaces it may mean you're less likely to be reallocated.

Ngl might mean less likely but it's in Ernest place which is MILES away from where I need to be...

True, very nice rooms though. An opportunity to get your steps in, there is also decent public transport and if you were assigned there you wouldn't be alone so you would find others trekking across with you.
