Thank god someone else (albeit a different part of the country/different uni) hasn't sorted houses out yet. It seems everyone who was in halls has found accomodation/people to live with next year. I went through clearing so I got a flat with a mate, his mate, and 3 lads we didn't know. It's alright apart from not liking one of the lads (he doesn't clean up, he leaves his shit everywhere and he's just in general a dick.
To leave you with hope, we (Me and my mate) found our flat on facebook a week before term started
