My DS got better grades than expected and decided to apply to University of Cardiff through adjustment. He rang them very early on results day and they gave him a place and verbally said as he was so early there would be guaranteed accommodation. Subsequent emails were rather vague.
Today he had an email to say they were full apart from any cancellations and asked him to look into private accommodation. A couple of links provided but no real help given.
He doesn't really know what to do. Will start ringing around tomorrow but this has left him feeling rather fed up and worried and he has even spoken about deferring or applying again next year.
Has anyone any experience of this. Should he leave it and hope for a cancellation. Doesn't want to sign up for private and then miss an opportunity for halls and would he be sharing with first years in private accommodation - possibly not?
