    That's true. The transition is huge. I was hoping ucl accommodation would give me one less thing to worry about, but it seems that that won't be the case, since I still haven't heard back about early accommodation. I don't think the leaving home part has hit me yet. I'm just too excited about going to UCL! I'm sure I'll just start balling when the plane takes off. O! I don;t think I listed the Ontario Literacy Test. I didn't even remember writing it until you mentioned it. It was such a dumb test. Private message me your facebook name.

    Right now, though, Im far less concerned about university accommodation than I am about leaving Toronto and making a huge transition in general. As much as Im sure Ill come to love London, Im pretty sad about leaving people behind so far away. What about you? And the TOEFL sounds ridiculous; I think the reason they didnt ask me to sit it was because i listed my results of the Ontario Literay Test on UCAS. Also do you have facebook?

    June 4th is pretty late. I would never have the guts to do that. I'm glad you found good private accommodation. but wouldn't it be super expensive if its close to the school? I sent them an email to clarify if I actually had to write it. Only KCL asked me to write it. They said yes - not sure why. So I wrote it. Longest test ever, but I did get a good score.

    Yeah I applied late, around June 4th. I like the location of my private res so Im still very excited anyway. No, neither UCL nor KCL asked me to write the TOEFL, but I know some people here who were, oddly enough. Im sure you were exempt though, right?

    Why are you staying in private accommodation? Are you one of the many people who applied for accommodation late, or is it for other reasons? In the end did KCL ask you to write the TOEFL?

    Hi, I can't believe you're from Toronto too! I'm going into private accommodation (which was really hard to find because I'm a minor) so I won't be staying at halls. If you don't mind, which high school are you from?

    Hello fellow Canadian!
    To answer your question: I DONT KNOW! I found it kind of absurd that I was asked to write the TOEFL even though I'm a native English speaker born in Canada. I emailed them back to confirm that it wasn't a mistake and got a vague reply that I should score 7.0, when the TOEFL is out of 120.... So, I'm not sure what to think. My friend recently got an offer to KCL too but he was not asked to write the TOEFL. So I'm wondering the same thing you are. I hope you'll have better luck.

    Did you apply to KCL?

    hi, I saw that you got an offer from KCL for 90% OSSD and TOEFL results. first of all, congrats, but I was wondering if there was a special reason why KCL asked you to take the TOEFL when you're from Canada? I'm applying from Ontario as well, so I was wondering!
