(6)The waiting list
I have received an email inviting me to join the waiting list. Why?If we cannot offer you a place in the first instance, and your application has been declined, withdrawn, or cancelled then you are invited to join our waiting list.
This may happen for example if you miss your deadline for offer acceptance, if you decline your offer, or if your application as a graduate student is unsuccessful.
Please join the waiting list as soon as possible in order to be considered for accommodation in residences. I am on the waiting list. Will I be made an offer of accommodation?If you decline an offer of accommodation from us, you will have the option of joining our waiting list. We will only review your application towards the end of the accommodation cycle (from 17 August 2017 onwards).
The number of students on the waiting list tends to peak before the general arrival date (17 September 2017).
Should you find yourself on the waiting list and wish to increase your chances of being offered a place on this list, please make your preferences as flexible as possible, and also please be prepared to respond to an offer of accommodation at short notice. Continuing students will have the lowest priority on the waiting list.
Please keep your Hallpad contact details including telephone numbers and email addresses up to date, so that we can contact you if we are able to offer you a place. What happens once I am on the waiting list?We work through the list as set out in the Waiting list policy.
Regular updates will be sent about the status of the waiting list.
urbanest King's Cross and Westminster Bridge are the only residences that are available on a first-come, first-served basis either through a direct application or from the waiting list.

如果學(xué)校在初選的時(shí)候沒(méi)有給你提供名額，申請(qǐng)被拒絕、撤銷或取消，那么你會(huì)被邀請(qǐng)加入等候者名單。
發(fā)生這樣情況，可能是因?yàn)橐韵略颍罕热缒闳∠e(cuò)過(guò)了接受錄取的截止日期，拒絕了錄取，或者研究生申請(qǐng)沒(méi)有成功。
請(qǐng)盡快進(jìn)入等候者名單，以便申請(qǐng)到宿舍。
在等候名單上了，可以拿到住宿名額嗎?
如果拒絕了學(xué)校提供的住宿名額，你可以選擇加入等候名單。在住宿周期結(jié)束(2017年8月17日往后)之后，才會(huì)對(duì)你的申請(qǐng)進(jìn)行審核。
在同意到校日期(2017年9月17日)之前，后補(bǔ)名單人數(shù)會(huì)達(dá)到最多。
如果你在后補(bǔ)名單上，并且想增加拿到名額的幾率，請(qǐng)讓你的住宿選擇盡可能地靈活，請(qǐng)?jiān)谑盏阶∷掬浫⊥ㄖ亩虝r(shí)間內(nèi)做出回復(fù)。對(duì)于后補(bǔ)名單，繼續(xù)生拿到名額的幾率最低。
請(qǐng)保持Hallpad 上的聯(lián)系信息(包括電話號(hào)碼)和郵箱地址的更新，以便在有住宿名額的時(shí)候?qū)W?？梢月?lián)系你。
一旦進(jìn)入后補(bǔ)名單，接下來(lái)會(huì)發(fā)生什么?
學(xué)校會(huì)更具后補(bǔ)名單政策，對(duì)名單進(jìn)行審核。

King's Cross 和Westminster Bridge 的宿舍只按先到先得的原則提供，只接受通過(guò)直接申請(qǐng)或后補(bǔ)拿到名額的學(xué)生。
(7)Students with extra requirements
I have a disability or medical condition, is there anything I need to do?Yes, if you have a disability or medical condition, please inform us using the 'Special Circumstances' field on the accommodation application form.
(7)有額外要求的學(xué)生
殘疾或身體狀態(tài)不好的學(xué)生，需要做些什么嗎?
是的，如果你殘疾或身體狀態(tài)不好，請(qǐng)?jiān)谧∷奚暾?qǐng)表的特殊情況一欄中告知我們。
(8)Life in halls
Can I have guests stay with me?Guests are allowed into the residence as long as they are signed in at reception. This is to comply with fire regulations. Overnight guests are permitted, but the policy may vary between halls. If you wish to have a guest stay for more than three consecutive nights, you will need the permission of your warden. Will there be any building work in my hall?Possibly. Refurbishment work is carried out throughout the year on various halls to maintain the quality of your housing. Is there Wi-Fi in my room?Yes. All LSE halls provide Wi-Fi in the rooms. For University of London intercollegiate halls, provision may vary.
(8)宿舍生活
可以讓客人留宿嗎?
客人只要登記，都可以進(jìn)入宿舍。這和防火規(guī)范相符。也可以讓客人借宿，但不是宿舍區(qū)的規(guī)定可能不一樣。如果客人留宿超過(guò)連續(xù)三個(gè)晚上，你需要得到宿舍區(qū)區(qū)長(zhǎng)的同意。
宿舍會(huì)有施工活動(dòng)嗎?
可能有。為了保持宿舍質(zhì)量，全年在各個(gè)宿舍區(qū)都有翻新工作。
宿舍有Wi-Fi 嗎?
有。倫敦政治經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)院的所有宿舍都提供Wi-Fi 。對(duì)于倫敦大學(xué)宿舍，條件可能不同。
(9)Continuing students
I am starting my second or third year. Can I have space in halls?When allocating spaces in halls using our lottery system, we prioritise all first year students. As we have more first-year students than spaces in halls, we generally expect continuing students to look for private accommodation.
(9)繼續(xù)生
讀第二學(xué)年或第三學(xué)年的學(xué)生，可以拿到住宿名額嗎?
學(xué)校在使用清零系統(tǒng)分配住宿的時(shí)候，優(yōu)先考慮所有第一學(xué)年的學(xué)生。由于第一學(xué)年的學(xué)生人數(shù)比宿舍名額好多，我們一般建議繼續(xù)生住私房。
(10)Exceptions to this rule
Hall Committee members
A nomination must be made by the Hall Warden to the Residential Services Office in the Summer Term, and students must apply by the published deadline.
Peer Supporters
A nomination must be made by the Peer Supporters Programme to the Residential Services Office in advance of the published deadline, and students must apply by the published deadline. Although the Residential Services Office will try to match student preferences, allocations will depend upon the number of peer supporters within each hall in a given year (for example, a spread of peer supporters across the halls is preferable to a concentration of peer supporters in one or two halls only).
Personal circumstances
Around 5 per cent of spaces are reserved for continuing students in the above categories.
First-come-first-serve halls
Additionally, two of our halls are allocated on a first-come first-served basis. These are urbanest King’s Cross and urbanest Westminster Bridge. Continuing students applying to these halls early in the application process are more likely to receive a space, subject to availability.
(10)特殊情況
宿舍委員會(huì)成員
必須由宿舍區(qū)區(qū)長(zhǎng)向宿舍服務(wù)辦公室提名，提名時(shí)間是夏季學(xué)期。學(xué)生必須在公布的截止日期之前申請(qǐng)。
同齡人支持者
必須由同齡人支持者項(xiàng)目向宿舍服務(wù)辦公室提名，必須在公布的截止日期之前提名。學(xué)生必須在公布的截止日期之前申請(qǐng)。雖然宿舍服務(wù)辦公室會(huì)盡量滿足學(xué)生的喜好，但是名額分配取決于每個(gè)宿舍區(qū)內(nèi)的給定年份的同齡人支持者人數(shù)。例如，同齡人分散于各個(gè)宿舍區(qū)，比同齡人集中在一兩個(gè)宿舍區(qū)要好。
個(gè)人情況
在上述類別中，大約有5%的名額留給繼續(xù)生。
先到先得的宿舍
另外，學(xué)校有兩個(gè)宿舍區(qū)屬于先到先得，即 King’s Cross 宿舍區(qū)和Westminster Bridge宿舍區(qū)。如果有名額的話，在申請(qǐng)程序中較早申請(qǐng)這些宿舍區(qū)宿舍的繼續(xù)生，更有可能拿到名額。
