If you received your A Level results today, congratulations! We hope they went to plan and you\u2019re all set for September.<\/p>\n

This year’s admissions cycle has been unlike any other. A record 338,940 students applied for university in the UK in 2026. Demand has surged hardest at Russell Group and other premier universities, widening the selectivity gap between these and other unis. Needless to say, this Clearing period will be busier, faster-moving, and more competitive than ever before.<\/p>\n

\"Students<\/p>\n

If your results didn’t go to plan, clearing still offers genuine options. However, you\u2019ll need to move quickly when applying for a new course. Make sure you have your grades, UCAS ID and course codes to hand.<\/p>\n

And once your place is confirmed, sort your student accommodation as fast as your course. At Cloud, we’ve got all-bills-included rooms ready to go in over 30 university towns across the UK, including Canterbury<\/strong><\/a>, Leicester<\/a>, Liverpool<\/a><\/strong> and Chester<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Record numbers on results day mean more competition, but also more choice. Wherever clearing takes you, we’re already there.<\/p>\n

Secure your room now<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
