Re: Barts and The London Applicants 2012Hi - going to the post offer day on 2 April and hoping that may help me decide! Dawson and Mile End look most favourable at the moment... what have you been thinking about?(Original post by andyeverest)

Re: Barts and The London Applicants 2012Yeh I've just been to the post offer open day 2 days ago .... i was hoping they would go into depth on accommodation, but they didn't! it was the one thing they didn't really talk in detail about! i was hoping we would get a tour around one of the accommodation buildings but we didn't.(Original post by Mish Bish)

I don't know which i prefer...Mile end looks the best BUT apparently not many Medicine students live there as most live in Dawson or Floyer! and i don't know how i feel about that so id probably choose Dawsonm or Floyer!
Dawson looks Nicer and in a nicer area however is at least a 25-30min walk from lectures in the first year...whilst being at floyer means i could go to lectures in pyjamas haha
Seems everywhere has its good points but everywhere also has its bad points!! -

Re: Barts and The London Applicants 2012Well I really wanted to go to the open day (2nd April) to here more about accommodation, I guess it would be best to talk to current students, but its likely that they'll be kinda biased... :P(Original post by andyeverest)

Dawson, this isn't really a contest.yeah thats what I am thinking.....
lol... I know what you mean, being able to crawl out of bed straight to lectures has its plus points, but nicer venue might just win!(Original post by andyeverest)

Dawson, this isn't really a contest.
I heard Dawson is far from lectures at the open day, about a 40 min walk. What time does lectures start for first years?(Original post by RollerBall)
I wrote a huge review of the accomodations I think last year. I'll see if I can dig it out.
In summary, pick Dawson.
He told me that Pooley house is the best albeit expensive, but I'm wondering if there are any medics at Pooley house or is it mainly QM students, don't want to miss out on the whole Barts student experience. -

Re: Barts and The London Applicants 201210 minute tube ride from Barbican to whitechapel (2 minute walk either side). Lectures are generally 9am starts.(Original post by rohitbd)

Re: Barts and The London Applicants 2012Dawson is a 35 minute walk, lectures start at 9am on monday, 11am on tuesday, wednesday and friday, thursday varies depending if you have MedSoc or not. Also half the year has PBL at 9am on tuesday and friday, whilst the others have it at 3pm.(Original post by rohitbd)

Mile End is rubbish, full of quimmers. Have a mate at Mile End and he's constantly hanging out here at Dawson for the banter etc.
Dawson's the best, and 35mins is not far to get to lectures -

Re: Barts and The London Applicants 2012I called barts up to find out whether I would be able to get accommodation as I live within the M25, but they said it would be highly unlikely.
I was wondering if any current students who are in student accommodation live within the M25? -

Re: Barts and The London Applicants 2012Is it worth applying for the intercollegiate halls just in case I don't get accommodation at barts? Although I live within the M25, it takes around 1.5 hours to reach whitechapel, so I would prefer to live in London.
Thanks

Re: Barts and The London Applicants 2012Thanks and PRSOM, I don't really mind the 35min walk/tube as long as there are people to do it with and I'm not alone.(Original post by Penguinsaysquack)
