Goodenough College - who's going/ application advise.

are there kitchens in the college?

yes, there are 3 of them.

I was just offered a place at Goodenough!

good to know, there have been mixed ideas on what the facilities are like. some say they are not very popular so in that way you always have access to them. i have also heard that due to the fact there are 300plus members and three kitchens it is hard to get in and cook

is this true? any thoughts ?

Congrats!
btw when did u apply?

For your info, half of the residents live in flats which already have a kitchenette. Therefore, the 3 kitchens are meant for the singles. However, they also provide catering for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I hardly think many people cook all the time. If that were the case, they would have expanded their cooking facilities a long time ago.

Well, you never know. I've lived in plenty of residences with insufficient cooking facilities. Do the kitchens have loads of cupboards for people to store food, etc?

yah sounds reasonable!
as long as some other non-catering option is there then its cool. there is a reason you gt apply, the college atmosphere cannot be beaten

pk007 reality is, you will not be cooking often... get yourself a microwave and you'll save yourself time and money. Cooking for one person is a lot more expensive than buying frozen food (which now a days is quite tasty and some are even healthy), not to mention practical.
