CSM Accommodation

Original post by poppy3001

I'm studying the graphic design course at csm in September and was wondering which halls people are applying to? As there's none relatively close to csm

I've only recently decided that I'm living in halls as I was planning on renting a room cheaper and closer to CSM in a flat share. Sketch house is closest to CSM but I'm not sure I want to go there?

At the moment i'm thinking will wyatt but not really sure. I think Cordwainer's is bit too far even though the prices are better.

My brain is such a mess right now, I have no idea what I'm going to decide! Where are you thinking?

I kind of still want to do the flat share but would risk missing out on all the social stuff.

Yeah it's expensive but I want the whole social side so I'm going to Halls hopefully. And same I'm looking at Will Wyatt and Sketch Hall actually, I quite like it. But as you get 5 options to put down I was wondering about Don Gratton. They're all so far away!

Hey

Ill be doing the BA fine art course at CSM, I'm going for will wyatt as my first, then Don Gratton as second purely based on the area - shoreditch/bricklane old spitalfields market, and other cool quirky places surround the areas. The accommodations definitely weren't the most aesthetically appealing to me but i figured I'm gonna have a much better time living in a cool area rather than elephant & castle (highline building)

oh yeah, I've put that down too. I was just wondering why you haven't put sketch house?

Good point tbf Poppy, i hadn't looked into Sketch house that much! It does look nice and modern, 3/4 size beds too! I think the location of Will + Don appeal to me more than Finsbury park, but i haven't been there. Have you? Do you reckon most people from CSM would choose Sketch?

Yeah I think I'm gonna go for Sketch as my first and Will Wyatt as my second; Will Wyatt seems to be the most lively n apparently Sketch is kinda quiet which sucks, but the rooms are so nice! So conflicted haha. Although I think both of these are the main ones csm students go to
I'm doing fashion communication: journalism! x

I just got my offer for Sketch house, and I'm from California, so I've never been to London. Is anyone else living in Sketch and going to CSM starting in the first week of September?
