Would you be concerned or is this ok ? 12 undergrads placed with 200 post grads in halls ?

Can anyone make sense of this ?will it be ok ?

DD has been put into halls 15 mins from her campus but it's with 200 postngrads and I wonder what others think of this ?

The halls themslves have not got good reviews and I wonder if is it a safeguarding risk and or will she have a normal undergraduate first year experinece ?

Would you leave it or try and change it ?

@MeetMeOnTheCorner it's not a race to the bottom of being gutted. It's an attempt to bring some perspective for OP and her DD. OP has said herself that she is the one worrying and at least one other poster has mentioned she's over-invested. Not being placed in the hall you might have hoped for should be a disappointment for most new undergraduates, nothing more. I think our role as parents is to express confidence in what lies ahead and our DCs' ability to manage whatever challenge comes their way.

On a more positive note, the assigned hall may end up suiting @IsthisOK12's DD rather well. A studious 18-year old who doesn't find making friends easy won't be faced by several hundred undergraduates being noisy together but a much more select and therefore quieter group.

Try not to worry. In her second year my DD was in halls (actually lived with) post grad students as usually 2nd years don’t stay in halls (she hadn’t sorted out a house share). She actually enjoyed it much more than her first year when she was living with other first years. She became good friends with them and wasn’t that keen on her first year flatmates. In her first year she made friends with people on her course or through her campus job.

@IdaGlossop That’s just opinion though. The op feels differently and I know full well how worrying it can be when uni plans go wrong. You try and make the best of it but most of us do churn up inside and the op feels like that and it’s valid.
