    catered or non-catered accomodation at UCL
    Can someone tell me from UCL what is suppose to be more fun, a catered hall like Ramsay Hall or one of the self-catering halls?
    I need to know what to apply for when i send off my accomodation form!

    yeah, they showed us round the catered halls on the interview day, the only thing that puts me off is how ugly they are. i know loads of people say that shouldn't matter, but i find that how ugly/pretty my surrounding are does effect me...

    Are you definitely going to UCL? I think i will be.

    I applied to oxford (rejected after interview annoyingly as i really wanted to go there) manchester (withdrew my application as i couldn't be bothered to go to their interview) and king's (i have an offer from them)

    What about you?

    yeh! i think i am putting it as my first choice! (got rejected at oxford after interview ) i have an offer from birmingham and got rejected from southampton.

    i am definitely going to catered. what it looks like shouldn't matter too much coz the rooms inside look okay, its just the outside!

    where do u live? i am from jersey so london will be a shock!
