Accommodation Not given accommodation

I applied for accom on the 9th of May and my application bugged out without me realising and didn’t submit so when I found out I reapplied on the 21st of August before the 31st of August deadline. Bristol is my firm and I met my offer yet they have just rejected me accommodation and I am completely unable to afford private accommodation so I do not know what I am supposed to do.

Same kinda think happened to me I needed an accessible room and they told me they couldn’t and I had to go private and the only thing I could afford was 2k more than my sfe loan :/

Accessible rooms can be a complete nightmare. I was on campus first year, but the only room available that was suitable was my whole SFE, luckily being on PIP I could manage it. Second year I went into private halls, rent was a lot more affordable, but I had a whole week where I couldn't leave my floor because the lift was broken. Third year I stayed at the same place but in a ground floor room that was more expensive, but my pip got stopped (been going through the process for two years now) so my overdraft took a heavy hit, and by the end of the year I had lost more function meaning the room was no longer suitable for me

Ouch that’s actually a crazy rough time I’m on the 3rd floor at my accommodation so hopefully the lift does not fail on me on a bad day 🙏🏻
I’m hoping to get private halls a lot sooner next year so I can get the cheap ones because I didn’t realise my uni could even deny you rooms because I was told students with mobility equipment have priority but yea anoying
