Bristol University Accommodation Info (please post all questions here!)

As an international student, i think that international students (who have come a long way, far from home and very lonely) should get their first choice to help the moving in process

Well, in my experience, the international students don't associate with anyone except other international students, which is a shame. I can understand it though, I mean, I can imagine wanting to hang around with people who speak my language and stuff, but it makes them stand out as unsociable recluses, which probably isn't the case.

it goes inyour favour cause you help build a more diverse "cultural community" read the allocations process thingy on their website

Pah. Just got an email from the accommodation office politely telling me that there was no way in hell I could get the application done before I went. Have emailed back using a more grovel-ly tone and gently pointing out the technological limitations of Bolivian mountain peaks.

One question?
Is the accomodation clean or do I have to bring my own Cillit Bang?

I think that's a bit unfair really on their behalf - I could understand it if you had a conditional offer but not unconditional and especially the fact you're travelling. I mean they can at least let you fill out forms (like they do for overseas candidates) before looking at them/taking them all in at the final deadline.

Nope, I have never attended an international school. I am aware that they exist, and what they are, and know people who attended them. Why do you ask?

Well, it's just that, everyone's an international students...so no, international students (that come from international schools, and speak good english, or even if they don't) do not just stick together as you seem to imply. We're used to diverse communities of people from different backgrounds, and students leave and enter(i.e. new students) all the time. So no, we do not have problems integrating.
