Coleraine university accomodation help!

cartoons626

I will hopefully be attending Coleraine University this coming year but am unsure how to apply for accommodation. Where and when do I apply for on campus accommodation? Also does anyone have any experience living in cranagh village or knocklayde/errigal, what they are like e.g. space, cleanness, and location. Also is the private bathroom worth the extra £800?
Any other tips would be much appreciated

I don't know the uni, but recommend the bathroom! Sharing with 20+ other folk is rough when you're a bunch of savage 18 year olds. Words of experience

Sorry just to clarify, the university is in northern Irealnd, university of ulster coleraine. I think the cheaper option is 2 bathrooms between 6-9 people. Its just so hard to decide as over £800 is a lot of money but my own bathroom would also be a blessing. What you all think?
Also again does anyone know how or when to apply? thanks

I don't think you need to worry until you have confirmed your place later in the year. Most universities are very used to assigning accomodation to successful candidates in a matter of days.
I would imagine that they will send you a link to an online system once you have confirmed your place. There is no point doing anything early as students change their minds/go to different universities, or defer their place.

Their accommodation website is pretty poorly designed, but I think this is the page you want:

http://www.accommodation.ulster.ac.uk/forms.html

Students wishing to apply for accommodation should do so online here.

Aha, this would explain why the OP couldn't find out how to apply on April 30th but I was able to see it on May 4th.
