King&#x27;s College London Medicine Applicants 2016 Entry

Original post by Jack354

Will King's give us accommodation based on which campus we are at? If the medics are at Guy's they wouldn't want the accommodation close to the Strand campus etc

They said in their new accommodation policy that they do not allocate accommodation based on which campuses we are at... So it is going to depend only on your preference regarding either the room type or the price :s-smilie:

Cool I'm sure that you would enjoy either but hopefully you get to see more on an offer holders day. Good luck though with your ability you don't need luck 🙂

Yeah, I think I'm just gonna pop round to both of them for a visit and hopefully that will help.
Thank you, that's very nice of you to say :h:

Hi there, I saw you are confused between choosing Kings or Birmingham. Do you know which one your leaning towards and why ? :smile:

I have a choice of those two and can't figure out which to choose

thank you re your good wishes for her and well done on your offers. She has firmed Cardiff and insured Brighton. She felt the imperial offer with an a*aa was a lot of pressure and her personal view was she didn't like Kings at all I'm afraid but that's only her opinion. You do need to decide soon if you can as Cardiff people can already book their accommodation choices as she already has and its first come first served on results day in order of who firmed and booked first.

Thank you. I think I'm going to end up choosing Birmingham and then Kings College London.
What was the reason she didn't like Kings ?

Which area did you like better? I would choose Birmingham because I wanna move out and I guess it's more affordable than London.b

Do you still apply for accomodation even if you chose KCL as your insurance choice? I know the opening date is tomorrow, do I do it then?

Nope, you can't apply for accommodation if it's your insurance.

Can you only receive log in details if you have firmed?

I'm guessing so because Kings don't allow you to apply for accommodation unless you have formed them.

oh, so how does it work then, if its your insurance do you just end up wherever there is a free place? and if they are your insurance, as long as you get the grades then Kings have to accept you right?

Provided you miss your firm then yes Kings would accept you. However I'd presume you would be really lucky to get accommodation at the last minute, cause you would have to go on the waiting list with others who have firmed Kings but say didn't get the accommodation they wanted. So you aren't guaranteed for accommodation if Kings is your insurance, nope.
