    (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 Why?If we cannot offer you a place in the first instance, and your application has been declined, withdrawn, or cancelled then you are invited to join our waiting list.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.

    (6)等候者名單
    為什么會收到郵件，邀請加入等候者名單?
    如果學(xué)校在初選的時候沒有給你提供名額，申請被拒絕、撤銷或取消，那么你會被邀請加入等候者名單。
    發(fā)生這樣情況，可能是因為以下原因：比如你取消錯過了接受錄取的截止日期，拒絕了錄取，或者研究生申請沒有成功。
    請盡快進(jìn)入等候者名單，以便申請到宿舍。
    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，才會對你的申請進(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，請讓你的住宿選擇盡可能地靈活，請在收到住宿錄取通知的短時間內(nèi)做出回復(fù)。對于后補(bǔ)名單，繼續(xù)生拿到名額的幾率最低。
    請保持Hallpad 上的聯(lián)系信息(包括電話號碼)和郵箱地址的更新，以便在有住宿名額的時候?qū)W?？梢月?lián)系你。
    一旦進(jìn)入后補(bǔ)名單，接下來會發(fā)生什么?

    名單狀態(tài)會定期更新。
    King's Cross 和Westminster Bridge 的宿舍只按先到先得的原則提供，只接受通過直接申請或后補(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，請在住宿申請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。如果客人留宿超過連續(xù)三個晚上，你需要得到宿舍區(qū)區(qū)長的同意。
    宿舍會有施工活動嗎?
    可能有。為了保持宿舍質(zhì)量，全年在各個宿舍區(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
    宿舍委員會成員
    必須由宿舍區(qū)區(qū)長向宿舍服務(wù)辦公室提名，提名時間是夏季學(xué)期。學(xué)生必須在公布的截止日期之前申請。
    同齡人支持者
    必須由同齡人支持者項目向宿舍服務(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。雖然宿舍服務(wù)辦公室會盡量滿足學(xué)生的喜好，但是名額分配取決于每個宿舍區(qū)內(nèi)的給定年份的同齡人支持者人數(shù)。例如，同齡人分散于各個宿舍區(qū)，比同齡人集中在一兩個宿舍區(qū)要好。
    個人情況
    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，在申請程序中較早申請這些宿舍區(qū)宿舍的繼續(xù)生，更有可能拿到名額。
