No problem!



Somehow missed this. You're correct in saying Strand has the biggest KCL library. It's known as the Maughan Library and it's basically Hogwarts. As far as I can remember, it is 24 hours providing you have your ID card on you. Otherwise the admittance desk people clock out in the evening.


Are you on the strand campus?

I was offered an alternative course at KCL. I had confirmed an offer of accommodation, will I still hold a place of accommodation?

Freshers begins on Sunday 18th. This is usually always with the 'Icebreaker' event at the Ministry of Sound club, and this year is the same. Full list of events is here: https://www.kclsu.org/events/. Wristband is here: https://www.kclsu.org/ents/event/3330/

Christmas this year starts 9th Dec. You many have revision sessions run by the uni in the week after.

The exact timetable for exams isn't out, but as the second term begins Jan 16th (And exams are 1 week before that usually) I'd assume they are in the week of Jan 9th. You'll get confirmation of that further into the year, as well as if any modules require an exam before Christmas. As I say, it's hard to say as this kind of information is better found out when you have your exact timetable.

Post enrolment is when you'll have access to timetables, reading lists etc.

If you have your K number, then that should be it ([email protected]). Otherwise you'll either be emailed it fairly soon so as you can undertake enrolment.

Sadly my knowledge on private accommodation is lacking here :frown:

Ring up KCL directly and query this.

Hi, just a couple of questions: 1) Can we use the library of the campus that isn't our own? 2) I'm not a clubber but I don't want to be anti-social, especially with the people in my halls, so any advice other than suck it up and go (which I may end up just doing)? 3) I know I sound so clueless with this but do people go out the night they move into their accommodation?


I think libraries are tailored towards the subjects based at that campus, from what I understand at least

Ahh great!! I had never really considered History before so it gave me quite a lot to think about! Although I've been looking at the course and I think it will be a good alternative to law and they offer so many different topics so hopefully I've made the right decision!

Also, I phoned up the accommodation people today and they said I still have my original accommodation offer so yours should still be the same as well. :smile:
Hi all! Looking forward to starting at Strand Campus to read English. Any other bibliophiles? Not sure what I'm doing RE: wristbands - definitely not the London one though, that seems a bit too intense for my tastes! The Freshers Masked Ball in October has taken my interest, I've heard good things about it. :smile:

Yeah, I was in exactly the same position. But, as you said, the course does look quite good, so I'm hoping it will all be ok :smile:

Thank you!! I was just about to message you saying the same thing haha!
Good luck with History this year :smile:
