Paperwork: part 3

May 13: Mailed the financial guarantee form for my college, with some passport sized photos and copy of DPhil position offer.
June 18: Emailed to ask if everything arrived, got a reply saying everything arrived and is fine.

June 26: Received the formal offer for accommodation, along with a welcome letter and welcome pack order form.

I'm getting a room in the main building, from September 23 on, but they can't tell me which type of room yet which means rent is still quite uncertain: anywhere in the previously mentioned range of 90-130 pounds per week. Knew about the prices of course, but not too happy with not being told my actual rent until I arrive. This is probably because they aren't sure yet who will accept. Then again, most of the rents are at the low end of this range, and they also said to keep preferences in mind.

The welcome pack contains various kitchen utensils, towels, tea/coffee etc. Doesn't look like it's quite worth the 44 pounds they ask for it, but the convenience of it probably is.
