What universities are you applying to? And are you applying for halls?

Normally (someone correct me if I’m wrong) you apply to accommodation at your firm and the university should have information on their website on how to apply and the process, when to apply, how accommodation is allocated, how to state your accommodation preferences if you have say a disability for example etc

Hi!

Have you confirmed your firm university on UCAS and are you planning to stay in uni halls? If the answer is yes for both, then you can find and book the uni’s halls on their accommodation website. Most of the time there is a deposit that you have to pay upfront so it’s probably better not to book multiple accommodations for different unis.

The majority of Unis will only allow 'Firm' applicants to apply for housing and they usually dont open housing applications until after Easter.
