DD had her place at York confirmed today - however, she has just had her accommodation offer and didn't get her first or second choice. She has been offered a different college, still on campus and en-suite, which is good, but has been offered it on a 51 week let (not the 40 week lets she had applied for). This bumps up the cost by an extra £1500 per year. and means we will end up paying for the room for weeks when she is unlikely to be there.
She rang to ask if she can change it - she can either reject outright, and go to the bottom of the pile (so then might not get accommodation, or get an offer of accommodation at the other campus, which is also more expensive), or they have told her to see if she can find anyone to swop with.
Has anyone with DC at York had experience of this, and were your DC able to switch accommodation further down the line?
