Accommodation
Dear University of St Andrews,
Please could you provide information regarding how you allocate prospective students (with offers) accommodation. If, to allocate accommodation to students, you ask prospective students with offers questions about hobbies, activities, sports etc, then please specify how this information is used by the admissions department to choose accommodation for students. Also, is priority given to students who have firmly accepted your offer compared to those who answered as 'insurance'?
Please give detailed information about the selection criteria the accommodation department offer in their online survey and how specific criteria is used to allocate specific accommodation (for example someone who likes football may be put in St Mary's), ie what are the preferences for hobbies etc for each accommodative building ?
Again, thank you for your time.
Yours faithfully,
Samuel Crozier
