What if my application for accommodation is unsuccessful?
If you apply for a room and Joseph Stones House is full, we will keep a small waiting list in case of vacancies at the last minute, but you will also be supplied with a list of alternatives.
Usually there are no more than a few withdrawals, so most people will be better applying to other places if they haven’t got a room.
