Are accommodation fees paid in 3 equal installments?

How are we expected to pay for UCL student halls? if my weekly rent is £240 for 40 weeks that would make £9600 annually, so my question is whether we're expected to pay this amount every term in equal installments so £3200 every term?

Thank you.
could anyone help me with this please?

It's central London and unfortunately it's just the way it is :cry: very expensive, I wouldn't be able to afford this if they ask for unequal payments as my funds are equal.. I know it don't make really sense I'm sorry ahahaa

You don't pay in equal installments, you pay according to how many weeks there are in each term. So cos there are less weeks in your third term, this installment will be the cheapest. The first two are similar. I know all this because I've just completed my first year in student halls. Hope this helps :smile:

One question. Do you have to pay the installments all in one go every year? Or pay weekly/ monthly? Is it gonna be the same for all uni?

You pay three sums in total, for 3 terms. One sum at the beginning of each term, for that term. So at the start of the year, we had to pay for our accomodation for the first term (sept until beginning of jan). And works so on. I would assume the payment method works the same at all unis, but not sure. This is how it is at UCL though.

At UCL you can also pay in monthly instalments, if this would make it easier for your budget. :wink:

Can they let me pay termly installments in equal amounts with that form? :K: I heard about monthly but that's too bothersome. Thank you
