Re: Barts and The London Applicants 2012SAME!(Original post by MuffinMonster)
Ha that fear is driving me to actually do some work
I admire the reapplicants though, I dunno if I could have focus on doing well in exams without an offer like some of them have done
and yeah same, I really think about that sometimes and don't know how they did it..

Re: Barts and The London Applicants 2012Facilities are pretty good, lifts are regularly maintained, kitchen and bathrooms cleaned daily, rooms cleaned fornightly.(Original post by MuffinMonster)
How are the facilities in Dawson? Like is the building and equipments maintained properly etc? And how close is the nearest supermarket
The gym in the basement has the basics and is cheap, the games room has been refurbed a little bit recently (new pool table cover, cues and table tennis bats), and never had any problems with the laundry room.
Nearest shop is Tesco express which is on the corner by barbican station for little things that run out, bread/milk etc.
Nearest supermarket to barbican is Waitrose, about a 5min walk. But the one everyone uses is the huge sainsbury's in whitechapel, which is close to whitechapel tube station, then tube it back to barbican and you're basically home. -

Re: Barts and The London Applicants 2012Hi All....
I need some help!
I live within the M25, but it takes 1 hour 20 / 30 mins to get to Whitechapel, just been on the phone with Student Accomodation people and been told should I apply I will be on a waiting list and may get a place end Oct?
They suggest commuting from home (!) or moving into a hostel until they can offer me a room (which they cant guarantee)....
Do any current Barts med students know if its likely that I will get into halls?
I love Barts and was so excited with the offer, but dont think I will cope with living at home and commuting! Its not that my home life isnt comfortable and all.... its just not what I thought going to Uni would be about
all advice on working my way up the waiting list/ short term lets etc welcomed.

Re: Barts and The London Applicants 2012Thanks(Original post by Penguinsaysquack)
I'd give you a thumbs up but I can't
Ah I just remembered that I live inside the M25 too! I hope I get accommodation... commuting is not my thing(Original post by Mish Bish)

Re: Barts and The London Applicants 2012Actually the more 'within M25' the better - then the accommodation people get to the waiting list quicker and we get rooms before freshers - other wise it may not be until Nov!(Original post by MuffinMonster)

Re: Barts and The London Applicants 2012I don't know too much about it all, but from what I've heard, your very likely to still be able to get accommodation. Someone on my floor lived closer to Whitechapel than you, and still managed to get an amazing room at Dawson on the waiting list.(Original post by Mish Bish)

Having said this, she waited as long as she thought possible having still not heard anything until close to the start of term. Then she paid her deposit for a house close to London (around 500 quid) thinking she wouldn't get accommodation as it had been so long. That afternoon she got an accommodation offer and she lost most of her deposit. Typical!
So yeah, I think your very likely to get accommodation, but you may have to wait a while for it! But I'm sure someone else is more informed than me. Just don't be resigned to commuting just yet! -

Re: Barts and The London Applicants 2012nope! Once you're done you're free. That's what i did anyway. Unless your school requires you to be there for something... Go have fun!(Original post by MuffinMonster)
Guys is it safe to go away from the country for a month straight after the exams? Like there's nothing paperwork or otherwise that require me to be physically here right? -

Re: Barts and The London Applicants 2012Hey guys, I'm also leaving this thread (although Its been great)
i firmed liverpool today, it was always my favourite (just) and the only reason its taken me so long to decide is because of the people on the post offer open day (and on this thread) have been so nice and enthusiastic about the Uni, which made a certain decision a very tricky one instead...
I hope you all have the best time at barts, good luck and goodbye -

Re: Barts and The London Applicants 2012The uni recommend you buy loads, in reality you don't really need to buy anything seeing as the libraries are well stocked.(Original post by vladricketts)
Any textbook recommendations for Barts?
The only books I've bought are Kumar and Clarke's Clinical Medicine, Anatomy Coloring (it's american..) book, and a neuro book that you don't need to think about buying for a long while yet. -
