Accomodation Application 26/27 Undergrads - Orion Point
Hey guys, I got an offer for an undergrad course from Southampton and I am trying to apply to Orion Point on the Southampton Uni portal. It implies on their website that you can select it as an option on their accom portal but when you go in there to select it, there is no option for Orion Point, only the other accoms like Glen Eyre, City Gateway etc.
I understand from researching a bit that Orion is a Unite Students accommodation and you can apply through their website, but it seems that if you do, you are putting a deposit down and having that as almost your 'final choice' which I don't really want to do, and it seems as if it can't be selected as an option with the standard application on the Uni website.
I do really want to apply to Orion point and select it as my 2nd/1st option on the portal as I might end up needing a longer 51 week contract.
I emailed the uni and the response was really unhelpful, it was them just telling me how to make an accommodation application rather than addressing the question. This confused me and I assumed it was just my phone so waited and tried again on 2 other devices but had the same issue.
I am more just wondering if anyone else has noticed this or if I am just being silly and missing some information out.
So sorry if this is a stupid question I appreciate any help I can get really xx
Thanks in advance
