Clearing and applying for accommodation

Just about applying through clearing, if you do get a place via clearing, would there be less chance of getting accommodation on campus as you have got a place late........

Students who get a place through Clearing can still apply for accommodation, and we do our best to house everyone who applies.
It isn’t guaranteed, and on-campus spaces may be more limited at that stage, but there are usually university-managed and partner accommodation options available.
If your place is confirmed through Clearing, apply for housing as soon as possible, and the accommodation team will guide you on what’s available.

This depends entirely on the individual University. Most just warn you about this 'just in case' - most obviously plan for how many accomodation places are needed, and it isn't an issue, but this can be unpredictable.

Are you just concerned about 'Clearing' as an eventual option if you miss your offer grades on both your Firm or Insurance?
