Harrow campus anyone?

So I just finished my first year at a different uni but have decided to start again somewhere new and should hopefully be on the Harrow campus starting September.

Thought it would be nice to meet some new people?

Hi there

You must be really excited to be starting a new uni so welcome to Westminster! You're going to have a great time at the Harrow Campus, the facilities are excellent and there's lots of outside space there too. I thought you may be interested in the link to the Student Union Facebook page so you can see what's going on in your first week.

Have fun :smile:

I'm still waiting to hear back from the person who is meant to be my tutor before I can sort out anything like my finance and somewhere to live but I'm hoping to be living in some new accommodation that they've built in Wembley! How about you?

Hi all,

Firstly, good luck to those who are picking up their A-level results, today!

Hopefully we'll be seeing most of you at Raffles House for September. Please feel free to ask us any questions about the accommodation.

Additionally, we've created a private residence Facebook page so that you can begin to get to know your flat mates, and know what you need to bring before you arrive :smile:

Lots of people on each Facebook group I'm in are doing Photography :smile:

I link the two groups here:
Freshers:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/231891653652299/?fref=ts
Harrow Halls:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1555076508088766/?fref=ts

and some of the accomodation being posted are:

"4 bedroom available in a 5 bedroom house in Archway, situated only 6 minutes away (walk) from the Archway tube station and a 1 minute walk from Upper Holloway overground, with many local amenities such as Sainsburys. Also very close to London Metropolitan, UCL, City, Islington Universities, £140 pw pp." photos: http://s1148.photobucket.com/user/Sergiojt/library/Mobile%20Uploads?sort=3&page=1

and:
"Hey my name is Zoey and me and my two friends Eloise and Toby (ages 19, 20 and 21) are looking for a flat mate to share a house with us with a starting tenancy for the 15th August (which is today but can move in at any point smile emoticon ) at:25 Hawthorn Road, NW10 2LR- (7 minutes walk (0.5 miles) to either Dollis Hill station or Willesden Green station (Jubilee line, zone 2-3).
We are looking for someone to take the slightly smaller double room for £127 a week (not included bills). The room size is 11"5 x 6"3. This also includes the storage cupboard just outside of the room on the second floor."
There are pictures for this in the freshers group, but it looks so nice!

I'm pretty sure I'll be in Harrow. I'm a PR student from the US studying at UW for the fall and based off of my classes will probably end up being placed there. As a student studying abroad I don't have too much control but I hope that's where they put me. It seems like one of the nicer buildings to live in.
