No, nothing on halls confirmed.
Son's friend is going to Glasgow, and he hasn't had his halls there confirmed either.

Expensive isn't it!
We are looking at forking out for 6 years as student doctors take a long time to train! Luckily our other son at uni stays at home and commutes in to his uni good lad!

Really wish it was per month.
Total rip off really. My daughter has just finished her 1st year in Lincoln and was roughly £2000 per term. Thankfully the university waived all the last terms accommodation fees regardless if they were staying there during lockdown or going home. Her 2nd year fees in a house are around £1000 cheaper per year! Edited at 12:46 AM. |

I hope he likes it. This is what my daughter started doing and got to the end of year one. It wasn't for her. It is hard then as they put so much into getting in in the first place!
Hope he enjoys it

Harper Adams got in touch with DD last Thursday or Friday about accommodation, giving her a link and details to log on and select her accommodation choices. So she's now done that. We'll have to wait and see whether she gets her choice of places to stay.
They also provided some details regarding social distancing whilst there. Rather than call them social bubbles, they call them Harper Herds which we all chuckled at (it's quite apt). Also, DD applied to the DSA for a grant a while back, she got 'accepted' or approved (or whatever you call it), and so received a new laptop and peripherals on Thursday. After a few months of nothing happening, things are finally starting to move along.

Try getting a room only at a basic hotel for £140 a week. It doesn't sound like a rip off. It sounds about the going rate outside London.

Thank you. He is looking forward to it , I'm hoping he continues to feel enthusiastic about it, like you say, it's such an effort and an achievement getting in, but who knows what the reality will be like.
The way I see it is, we, as parents, have helped support him to get into a position where he could apply for and be offered places at medical schools - ultimately the rest, as they say, is up to him! I wish your daughter well in whatever she decided to do going forward!

Any Scots waiting on results this week?
It's just two 'sleeps' until our boy gets his results here in Scotland. He has been keeping busy and not saying much, but I can tell he is thinking about it as it gets so much closer! (I think his Dad and I are actually more nervous than he is though) Good luck to others waiting on Scottish results this week - and , for others in other parts of the UK, it won't be long your your turn either!
