Accommodation office fail

*stabs something*

Remember how I have a place in the student residences? And how they took forever to let me know the earliest date I could move in? And how I then finally, after I'd long sent off my residence application, got a second application form on which it said that student accommodation will be available from the 15th?

When you're one of the people who used the first application form, you had no way of telling them on which day you're moving in. Apparently, this means that they randomly pick a day in the week between the 15th and the 20th to clean out your room. My room won't be available till the 18th. My flight, however, is booked for the 15th.

I called the accommodations office. Got a guy who first put me on hold and then accidentally connected me to the switchboard. The switchboard lady was all 'oh, just a sec, I'll reconnect you! :D' and hung up. I called again and got a woman who also put me on hold, but then told me that I would have to contact Mister I-didn't-catch-the-name about this, and she'll tell him to send me an email.

Proper organization, let me show you it!

*waves big sign saying WELCOME TO BRITISH BUREAUCRACY*

Apparently I have a room, but only if I transfer the deposit/fee/first rent before I arrive and sign the contract. BUT they still haven't given me their bank details. /o\ FAIL!

Ack. Unis are annoying like that. If it turns out you need somewhere to sleep over here before you can move in on campus, you're more than welcome to come crash here for a couple of nights :)

Seems those things work the same (as in, not) everywhere. Hope you'll get it sorted out.

Urrgh, I really do hope you don't have to sleep under a bridge or somewhere else like this. *crossingfingersthatitwillworksoutforyou*

Oh wow - talk about nervewrecking... I'm glad all worked out, though!
