The UCL accomodation thread

And what does that mean?^^

argh, it's so infuriating that you can't firm a choice until you have replies from all five places!! i've been waiting so long to firm ucl, i have all 5 replies but one of them has yet to appear on ucas, grr

I just withdrew my final outstanding application!
Couldn't be bothered to wait.

I withdrew from two! I was waaaay to eager! Where did you withdraw from (if you don't mind me asking)?...

Edinburgh. How long does it take to give out an offer, people! Gosh.

Hey everyone

I'm going to study Information Management for Business at UCL!

I found an awesome Google Map with all of UCL's accommodation: Clicky here. (just thought it might be useful for future reference)

Meanwhile, I'm having trouble deciding on my preferred accommodation. I'm debating first of all whether it's worth going to a hall. I actually like cooking (No I'm not making this up! My friends approve of my food ) but I'm unsure about how much money I would spend weekly for cooking my own food and whether or not I would save any by having it done for me at a hall.

My priorities are proximity and sociableness. My top choices are Astor College, Connaught Hall and College Hall. What do you think?

Despite the food being offered to me at the UoL Halls, I like the prospect of having people from other unis around me - just for more diversity. However, I'm also slightly worried that this would hinder stronger UCL friendships :P

Any help would be appreciated

Hey guys, was wondering would most people on here have sent their accommodation letter off by now or are they like me waiting till the January results roll in so that they can firm UCL first?

You and everybody else, lol.

And I've found that you save cack loads catering for yourself

Yeah I guess - you're just bitter since you were allocated so far, eh? Nothing beats rolling out of your bed into a 9am lecture

It's too bad there are no self-catered international halls... (or are there?)

NORF WEEEEEEEEEEEEEZY!

Hey guys this might be a stupid question but I'll ask it anyway,
I got an offer from UCL and they sent me the accommodation stuff for me to fill in, however I am still waiting for other unis to reply (despite having sent my UCAS in October) so I can't firm anything yet. I am guessing that I shouldn't send my form until I make UCL my firm or insurance? Or can I send it in now without that decision?

Thanks.

Edinburgh. How long does it take to give out an offer, people! Gosh.

you can only submit your accommodation form to UCL once you have submitted UCL as your Firm ON UCAS.

Dammit...I thought so, I guess I will just carry on waiting whilst all the nice rooms are being taken up........

They don't start allocating places until after result's day...

ok, but UCL surely gives priority to those who firmed them straight after being given an offer and to those who sent their accommodation forms in first.
