LindsD 22 Aug 8:21am, 22 Aug 2024 69,432 posts	0 LindsD Good luck for GCSE results After 2.5 days waiting in a queue for university accommodation there is none left. LittleD is really upset. She can commute, of course, but it's not the same and she says she would have gone elsewhere if she'd known.

LittleD is really upset. She can commute, of course, but it's not the same and she says she would have gone elsewhere if she'd known. Are there options to take up late/part way through term offers of someone else drops out? My colleague's son moved flat to a spare place after someone left their course a week in. Might be worth her asking the accommodation office just in case. I always go by the notion that it doesn't hurt to ask politely. Results day here. Cedd is still asleep. He needs to go in between 9 and 10:30 but all his mates are going at 10

Meglet 22 Aug 9:07am, 22 Aug 2024 24,973 posts	0 Meglet @LindsD don’t the uni guarantee accommodation for first years or is that not a thing any more? There will absolutely be places available after a few weeks so don’t lose hope, could also look at private options?
