Original post by Blayenne

Wednesday 26th? I was there! A blonde girl from Poland, had my interview at 1:55.

We probably spoke at some point then :tongue:

Boarding applications for queen mary open already. Where's a good place to stay?

I assume you mean halls of residence?

You should have three campus choices:

1. Mile End
On the Queen Mary campus, ensuite, sharing halls with students that are not medics/dentists. A couple of food places on site, as well as the Mile End library which is fairly big, although not necessarily have the books you require unlike the library in Whitechapel (you also may have a hard time finding a computer that is spare in there). The gym is quite close by if you want to join a relatively well equipped gym that is quite reasonable priced for students.
Also about 25 minute walk from Whitechapel. Unless you want to take the 25 bus up the road.
Keep in mind that the non medics might finish that little bit earlier than you so may be a bit louder than you'd like when you're revising. Although that does depend on who is around you and such! (I didn't have issues there, but I know others who didn't appreciate the noise some evenings)

2. Floyer House - Whitechapel
This is like two minutes away from the lecture theatre if you just want to roll out of bed in the mornings :tongue:

Fairly large rooms, shared bathrooms. Whitechapel library is really close (closer than the lecture theatre) so easy access around exam times when it's open 24/7. Only medics and dentists around I believe.

3. Dawson Hall - Barbican
A bit further out in Barbican, but a lovely area! Charterhouse lawn is right outside and it's pretty awesome to be in the sun on the lawn in the summer. Only medics and dentists. Shared bathrooms. Usually quite a strong knit group is made in those who live there together :tongue:

There's a library down the road in Barts hospital as well, which is usually dead silent if that's what you prefer.

Ty. The webpage links they provided were a tad confusing as to the layout of the rooms. Tks tks

I kind of want to know who I saw on Wednesday as I was there all day :ninja:

Hey, were you the guy that arrived in the morning - with a red tie, I think?

Ha, never mind! Okay, did you arrive in the morning, much earlier than you thought you would? (This is like 20 questions now)

Were you in the morning then? Depending on the time I was taking people up the stairs so wouldn't have had much chance to talk to people.

Chatted to a fair few people in the afternoon though
