I'm just hoping that Furness have some rooms left. I'm in Pendle, and the rest of my group are like 50+ on the waiting list (I got a place), so we were all thinking of signing up on Furness' shorter list

We are currently in the process of booking everyone in, at which point we will send
out the offers by email en-masse. You will find out in the next couple of weeks the
exact details and receive further instructions on what to do then.
In the meantime thanks for your patience.

Does anyone have any pictures of the George Fox accommodation?
I know I'm there next year but haven't had a chance to take a look.

I jsut got an email form the residence officer saying that she was still working through all the applications... is this new system really worth it all? it seemed to quick and easy last year. Minus the sitting around in the porters lodge for about six hours, that is.

I thought you could only change college if you had "justified" reasons for doing so as apparently it is quite a lot of work administration-wise. I know some people swapped to Furness as the Residence officer mentioned it back in January but I would be surprised if they let people do it now, especially if it was just so they could stay on campus.

A bunch of people have moved off the Pendle list, so it's looking likely we'll all get a place.

Make that well over 12 hours, in the freezing cold. (County).

We're not changing college, just signing up on their accomodation list if they have any spare rooms.

Just got my email from Furness Residences offering me a room on campus. Thankfully.
It doesn't tell us who we are living with etc though - I thought it would. They sent a separate email saying that we could go and see them with ID and they'd tell us which room we have but that they wouldn't tell us who else was in the flat as it is against confidentiality rules. [A little silly considering you've got to live with them so surely it would be good to know who incase it is someone you don't want to live with etc and there is always the simple fact that we will find out when we move in anyway, why not give us the chance to make friends now if we are not already?]
Not accepted it / paid the deposit yet. Not sure where I am getting the money for it from. Does £100 for the rest of the term sound manageable lol - I sure hope so as that is all I'll be left with if I end up paying it direct from my account.

Can you actually sign up for other college's accommodation though? I thought you had to just try and get the accommodation your college offered, otherwise you're buggered and living off campus?
Meh, I'll ask on Monday.

How long should I expect Lancaster to reply with accommodation information after firming it?

Paid my deposit now. Hopefully, spending a second year on campus will be a good decision.

Its so much easier- I know far too many people living off campus who miss so many early lectures...
I still prefer living off-campus though, largely because my first-year on campus was a rather un-enjoyable experience, and I like being closer to town. Plus, I quite enjoy treating Uni as a place of work, where I go to for a set number of hours a day, use the library and then go home and relax. I sometimes walk to campus, which I find thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing. It takes about an hour, and the scenery along the cycle paths is quite pleasant!
Sorry, just rambling on.

Does anyone know if mini fridges are necessary, or if we're allowed to have them? Would anyone recommend taking one to uni, or should I just use the one in the kitchen. I'm paranoid that my precious food will go missing. =(
