Durham uni college allocations - has he missed something?

[SearchingForTuna]

DS had an offer from Durham a few weeks ago and attended the offer holder day today. He visited loads of colleges as he didn’t know which he would like (but now has some ideas)

He thought though that a few people were talking about getting their allocated college already - and that he should have submitted a form by now. Is there a deadline for this that he has missed?! He’s normally ok with admin but has been so busy with open days all over the place

Has he irredeemably messed up; can anyone advise? I can see the basic info on the website about ranking the colleges but nothing about timescales or a cut off date

My daughter has a catered Hill college, will be on max loans (and hopefully a Durham Bursary). Self Catering might seem cheaper but there aren’t readily available supermarkets, and having food as one less thing to worry about is reassuring for her.

I have had 2 kids at Durham and they found the majority of folk in their accommodations were private or grammar school (which of course are state schools technically but much closer in vibe to private schools).They found eating every meal together really helps the corridor gel
