so i contacted the accommodation office and it turns out CSM recieved my application for halls but somehow lost it... so i was never offered a place.

i will only be taken into consideration if and when a student declines their offer... anyone saying "no" to accommodation?????????????

thanks!

I rang up housing yesterday and was told i'm still 'pending' and that they're doing more allocations and i should hear by the middle of July if I have a place. I think I'll be getting offered a place that someone else has turned down, as I think most people must have heard by now? (I did my foundation at UAL and was in halls this year (Ewen Henderson) so I don't have as much priority as everyone else, but live far enough away to possibly get a place....i think!)
Ewen Henderson was ok, the location isn't the nicest place, but i did feel quite safe, the staff are all really nice, there's a walk in clinic about 50 steps away, an Iceland at the top of the street and a Sainsburys 5/10 minutes walk away. There are also tescos/morrisons/asda/b&q all about 10-15mins on the bus. New Cross Gate station is 5 mins away and it takes about 8 minutes to get the train to london bridge. I had a monthy travelcard on my oyster in order to use the train (you can't do payg on this route) but it was a bit annoying that the east london line closed.

[shiamay]

Hey Save_k9... Wow... Which college are u goin to? Found somewhere else to stay?

[save_k9]

im going to LCF, at golden lane, currently im in the midst of booking a room at canto court. Judging from the map, lime groove seems soooooo far away from ewen.
why dun u try finding a place nearby lime groove?

[shiamay]

Hi,

I'm an internation student from the US- going to LCF in Sept 08 for Foundation. I was offered a place in DGH, and a girl from LCF I was talking to on facebook gave me this information about the house: "I've lived here for the last two years and I find the location absolutely right. It doesn't take too long to get into central London and is very near Brick Lane, Old Street and Hoxton - the three most trendy parts of East London. Its the most comfortable halls of residence at UAL but a lot depends on who you live with. The crowd in my first year wasn't great but this year has been fantastic. DGH is also pretty close to two 24 hr bus routes so getting home after a night out is not going to be a problem!"

Anyone have anything else to add? I'm freaking out a little because I'll be completely on my own, and to top it all off, in a new country. Thx!

[save_k9]

either way i guess u dun have any option to switch hostel now. was hoping to get don gratton as well, but was given ewen instead

Is this thread just for halls?
there's a room going in the flat I'm living (small single room £80 inclusive)
message me if you are interested - 20min bus ride from LCC - 20 min walk (5min bus ride) to Greenwich - same for Canada Water.

[EggCustard]

I got a warning for letting people know that there is a room going where I'm currently renting!!! (i'm not the landlord so I do not profit or receive anything!)

apparently being helpful is an awful thing to do so I apoligise for being informative and promise not to do it again!

and people wonder why others never do anything kind for others anymore!

PS: love the way TSR do not except responses back! try talking... it's called communciation!

[save_k9]

well, maybe there are some scammers ard i guess? im not too sure, but i did received a pm or 2, abt room renting and xchange, and both are new members with one already banned

i have a place at ewen henderson but am going to be at the davies street campus so it's kinda far, if anybody at lcc would prefer ewen henderson or just anybody at all wants to swap, message me!
