Room Ballot

Browse the (now updated) rooms database and take a look at some of the available rooms below:

The lists of current points scores is on display in the post room on the JCR notice board, you MUST read these.

Your score is worked out from the total JCR points scores of your rooms for the past 2 years. The lower your score, the higher you are on the ballot and the more chance you have of getting the room you want. So, everyone should check their points scores

There are Four ballots all together- Finalist Ballot (F), Remainder Finalist Ballot (RF), Remainder Ballot (R) and the Housing Ballot.

First years

All current first years are automatically on the Remainder Ballot for now, but you will have the chance to take part in the Housing Ballot instead.

Second years

  • All current second years who are doing a 3 year course are on the Finalist Ballot.
  • All current second years doing a 4 year course or with an option to do 4 years will have the option of whether to be on the Finalist Ballot or the Remainder Finalist Ballot. You can only be on the Finalist Ballot once in your time in college, so think carefully about which ballot you go on for next year. I will assume, unless anyone emails me specifically, that all those second years with a choice want to be on the Finalist Ballot this year.

Third years

All those third years doing a four year course are on whatever ballot you chose not to be on last year, i.e. if you chose Finalist last year you will now be on the Remainder Finalist Ballot.
