Accommodation disappointment

[lightisnotwhite]

I know it’s DS’s problem and it might all be lovely but DS got his last choice out of 6.
He had to put down three that were not en Suite but these were all older buildings near to central campus. He’s got one close to the middle.
He really wanted the blocks further out as he likes green space and isn’t bothered by a walk or cycle.
In addition he’s 6’4” and the block he’s allocated has some of the smaller rooms at 8m2 with a single bed. The two accommodation blocks he wanted were 13m and 16m and have the three quarter beds.
He was so excited about going but this has been a real disappointment. I don’t know what to say really apart from “it will be fine”. 🙁

DS has been having similar angst, not helped by the fact he had chosen (and been allocated) the premium en suite luxury halls when he firmed his Uni

Unfortunately he didn't get the grades, lost his place and accommodation and ended up in clearing. He has since managed to get a place at his first choice Uni, but all decent acc gone, so he's in a smaller room, shared bathroom and small kitchenette (he'll get catering).
