When you apply for your accommodation you are required to provide your personal preferences, the things that matter to you. With this information it helps us to allocate you to a flat which we feel would be suited to you based on your requirements and the requirements of other students:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you would prefer a quiet flat (to live with other people who have mentioned this within their application)<\/li>\n<li>The ages of people you wish to live with out of the following options: 20 and under, 21-25, 25-35 or over 35<\/li>\n<li>If you would prefer to live on the ground floor<\/li>\n<li>If you would prefer to live with people who do not drink alcohol<\/li>\n<li>You are also required to a minimum of four interests out of the following: sport (type), music, social, clubs, pubs, shopping\/fashion, culture, reading, TV\/cinema, travel, art, drama\/theatre, current affairs, outdoor, gaming and other<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When we allocate rooms, we take into consideration the above preferences made on your application and read any additional notes so make sure you&#8217;re honest! Further information about this can be found in our \u2018<a href=\"http:\/\/www.exeter.ac.uk\/accommodation\/applying\/roomallocationprocedure\/\">Room Allocation Procedure<\/a>\u2018 .<\/p>\n<p><strong>When will I receive an offer?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please see\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.exeter.ac.uk\/accommodation\/applying\/whentoapply\/\">our website<\/a>\u00a0which provides you with information on when you will receive an offer for accommodation. We have split it into different categories, depending on the type of student that you are.
