Accommodation

[voltonar]

the application is completely online this year, http://imperial.ac.uk/residences/stu...modation/apply and you get to choose the hall apparently although I haven't gone through the whole thing

I haven't specifically been asked to visit that site and fill in the application form yet (although I accepted Imperial as my firm ages ago). But given the scramble for the rooms that's been hinted at... I'm really tempted to fill it out anyway...

[voltonar]

theres nothing stopping you, I'm probably going to apply on the bank holiday. also as there will be that inevitable rush for rooms, you should just register and apply as quickly as possible although the registration process is a touch long, although that may just be me being a little lacking in brain power

Paranoid as I am, I worry that jumping the line is some kind of cardinal sin, punishable by accommodation on the Millennium Bridge... Did you get your letter asking you to apply online, then?

[voltonar]

well at least theres nothing stopping you from registering, i haven't actually recieved my letter actually, but a friend who recieved an email saying that they can apply

hmmm....i'm a bit worried...I haven't yet made my decision about going to Imperial yet because ucas said i didn't have to make my choice til june 6th....but when do you have to have accommodation forms filled in by? and will i be invited to fill one in if i haven't put imperial as my insurance/first yet?....eeeek!

[voltonar]

erm you won't get to fill in one if you haven't put them down as firm or insurance as far as i know

soo...i should hurry up n decide if it's my firm or my insurance?...otherwise i might miss out on good accommodation if it's a first come first serve type thing as people seem to be suggesting?

[voltonar]

tptp: well as far as i know, you can apply whether its insurance of firm but its random assignment based on the preferences you put down

sheak: i've already registered and applied for accomodation even though i didn't get the email telling me to

yeh i applied anyway, i wasnt told specifically that i shud wait until i hear from imperial to fill my accommodation form, and it seems very open to everyone. If they wanted to close it off they cud off done by giving people individual pin numbers so u wud have to wait until u got yours...... Also i was told i wud hear by april and now its may so i dont think im doing anything hugely wrong.......im using my initiative (haha).
