Loughborough University Accommodation Help

Okay so I got into the University Of Loughborough on results day and was super excited because I LOVED the university when I visited both times. Ive had my eye and plan on paying for the accommodation in either Robert Bakewell or Claudia Parsons yet when I visited the accommodation dead on four oclock (my time slot) the site had no names of each accommodation and only the areas (east, village etc). I was super stressed and under pressure to pick one so I picked a self catered ensuite in the village for my first and second preferences and prayed they were either Bakewell or Parsons as they were near the prices of those. I got my offer today for Falkner Eggington and was super confused as this was neither located in village and was a shared bathroom which as someone with social anxiety is my worst nightmare.. I emailed loughborough but I'm super upset and disappointed as the website didn't even have the names of each accommodation so it was a gamble :frown:. Does anyone have any advice for me? Much appreciated guys

The process is quite complex so I need a few bits of information.
Was Loughborough your firm choice? Did you register on the accommodation system before 5am on July 23?

Yeah it was my firm choice and I did register before that date!

Interesting... I would call them up and see if there's anything that could be done. Of course, a lot of 'desirable' rooms would have gone by now.

I wouldn't reject Falk Egg as you'll then fall outside of the guarantee and anything left may be 'worse' (this is subjective to you).
There is a room swap/transfer process that begins from around October, if that's something that you'd want to pursue.
