Frequently Asked Questions
-
It’s unlikely. Studio and One Bedroom Apartments are reserved for senior students. We also believe that in order to experience the most from college life, staying in our standard rooms is a sort of rite of passage, and helps students settle into life at Tommy and make friends.
-
Yes! Don’t leave it until you have your UWA (or other university) offer before you contact us, as most of our places will have been filled by then. Get in early, and we may make you a conditional offer, guaranteeing you a place if you accept an offer from your university of choice. Applications are generally accepted through the UWA Residential Colleges Application Portal 12 months in advance .
-
Not normally, as there is no strict order of priority with candidates on the waiting list – different applicants have different needs and circumstances, and the College reserves the right to take these into consideration when making offers. It is possible for prospective residents on the waiting list to be offered a place right up until the beginning of Orientation Week, but we do recommend that those who find themselves on the waiting list consider other alternatives.
-
In most cases, yes. If you receive an offer from Tommy More, you can defer it for 12 months.
-
Yes. Our friendly staff will be happy to show you around the grounds, and let you see a selection of rooms (subject to availability). Prospective residents and their parents are asked to telephone ahead, where possible, to allow us to identify suitable rooms, etc.
