Apparently there is a lot of demand for Stamford Street so that might be a little risky... I visited and i didn't like it at all, but that's just me :smile:

I didn't like it either, way to claustrophobic, but that and Brian creamer are the closest.

Hi! I think I've spoken to you before on here. Did you apply to Newnham College, Cambridge too?
I'm going to firm King's next week, after my module results, and am doing English Lang and Lit.
I didn't think King's did a straight Lit course?

Hi guys, I realise you posted this ages ago but I've just firmed this course too :smile:

! which accommodation have you applied to?

Me too it turns out I don't really like the stamford street apartments (I went on a post offer day yesterday and we got shown those ones as part of the accommodation tour)! I think I'm probably going to put hampstead heath and brian creamer as my first two choices now.

Oh really! Cause I was probably thinking of putting the stamford street apartments as my first choice. How come you didn´t like it?
How about the intercollegiate accoms? Do you know how they are compared to the Kings rescidences? :smile:

Oh good! I firmed my offer today. I am not sure where to apply yet, I find it very difficult to decide! Hopefully some place close to the Strand :smile:

What about you? And may I ask where you are from? :smile:

i really want en suite but by the sounds of it they aren't that nice? does anyone know what the nicest ones are? that have the nicest general comfortable feel about them? I can't stand a claustrophobic room haha!

Oh, hi!

I put my top five as Stamford Street, Great Dover Street, College Hall (an intercollegiate hall), Moonraker Point and International Hall (another intercollegiate). Quite a mix, I guess. My main priority is an ensuite room, so the first four are the only ensuite ones available. Have you applied / where are you applying?

I just got an accommodation acknowledgment email from King's. Not sure if it is an actual confirmation though....

Ok so I've finally decided to firm freshers and ARRRGH now I need to choose accommodation!

I live in Epping, which while in zone six, is outside the m25 (just!) so I think I'm going to get a place...

Time to start researching T-T

Oh, hi!

I've basically applied to all the ones with ensuite bathrooms (including intercollegiate halls) as that's my main priority. I'm hoping to be allocated Stamford St because it's relatively close to Strand but I'm not hearing great things about the rooms. How about you?

Hey I wanted to go with great dover street or stamford (ensuite + good location) as my first choices but i heard the social scene wasn't that great since you only get to meet people in the same block as you. Has anyone else heard anything similar? At the moment i've got college hall and commonwealth as my first two choices.

I wouldn't worry too much about the social scene at halls; not being a campus uni, your social life at King's won't be as dependent on who you live next to as it might be elsewhere.

Dietary restrictions and catered housing tend to not go very well together. Even if the food is good, you'll usually only have one option (and it'll often be something you just don't like but have to have.) Considering that catered is usually more expensive because food costs are included, I think self-catered generally works out to better value/choice.
