Starting uni in less than 3 weeks time - still no accommodation!

DS is off to Birmingham in a coupe of weeks - he's still waiting to hear about his accommodation as it was his insurance choice. He just called them and they said it will not be allocated until next Tuesday, and it's not guaranteed for insurance students.

He's pretty relaxed about it - but I'm not! Can anyone put my mind at rest please...

Grumpy, he never did get round to buying the Freshers' ticket online before sales closed. However we had to stop by the Guild before unloading the car and he joined a very long, cash-only queue to buy one. Drop off was very smooth and well organised. So that's it. How was it for you?

Ono, very smooth for us too. DS couldn't wait to get rid of us so he could start getting to know his new flatmates! His accommodation is in a lovely area, but rather cramped and he has the tiniest shower I have ever seen. It was my first visit to the Birmingham campus and I thought it seemed lovely.
