Intercollegiate Halls...what are they like?

Intercollegiate halls are fab! I've just lived in International hall for a year and I have to say most of my close friends and future flatmates are from here.

Intercollegiate halls are fab! I've just lived in International hall for a year and I have to say most of my close friends and future flatmates are from here. Since it's so big, you get to meet hundreds of people and go to many more social events than most halls. The people are more varied and everything is pretty much done for you - cooking, cleaning etc. It's incredibly cheap since food's included and all the halls are in central london, so you're close to Leicester square, oxford street.

Ok, so the interior is a little dodgy but the rooms are ace! Storage is abundant - under the bed, sink, 3 drawers, a massive wall shelf and of course the wardrobe. I live in the west wing, which is basically a narrow corridor. The north wing is a lot roomier, but I found it easier to make friends where I am since you're constantly bumping into people when you leave your room. The canteen is huge, there's a nice conservatory and the bar is being re-done this summer. There is a squash court, tv room, dvd room as well on the ground floor. As for the surrounding area, there is a shopping centre called the brunswick which has waitrose, superdrug, new look etc. There is a 24hr tescos down the road, which is opposite to russell square tube station (picadilly line). Kings cross is a 5 mins walk as is Euston station. Also, there's a park to the left of halls

If you're nice to the wardens, they won't bug you. I've been told of once for playing my music too loud and been kicked out of someone's room twice. You can have 8 overnight guests per month, which costs 1.50. There aren't many rules here tbh!

The halls are about a 15 mins walk to the LSE campus. It's basically a straight road down.

Hi

You would normally hear directly from the hall in the case of the majority of Colleges. It used to be that UCL and King's used to send out the offers themselves, but I don't think that is the case anymore as it is generally quicker for us to do it (as we are only dealing with hundreds of students rather than their thousands). Some Colleges may send out a holding response letting people know about where they have been allocated, but I don't know of any that do this as a matter of course.
