    King's Accommodation
    Hi trying to sort out my accommodation for King's and if anyone who is already a student there or also applying this year could give me tips it would be great.
    I'm going to be at the Strand campus and wondering if it would make a difference if I was at accommodation closer to other campuses. Get the impression from other threads that Guy's campus area accommodation is better, and SSA and GDA seem to get bad press? Anyone at SSA/GDA at the minute?
    I'm looking at the cheapest ones and self catered so not ICH or KCH.
    Thank you!!

    Oh right thanks are the shared bathrooms alright? And do you think it's good for social life/meeting people?

    Hey I can't help but I'm pretty much in the same boat, wondering which halls have a good social life and are in a good place. Self-catered and I'm at Strand too.

    Also what are the inter-collegiate halls like?

    Sorry, I'm another new applicant for 2012 entry, if you're applying for accommodation now, how many choices are you putting down? And if you're already there, how many did you put down? Thanks!

    Which KCL halls are best for social life. I've heard GDSA and SSA are a bit on the quiet side?
