West Thames College

I'm the same! I called the paragon and asked if they have any idea where else I can go and they said I have to speak to the college. I called West Thames but the person they directed me to wasn't there. I want to get it sorted too. If I find anything out I will let you know xx

Paragon said I can wait until August to see if any rooms become available but I'm not sure I can risk waiting that long because if I don't get a room I wont be able attend the course. I emailed Michele gates the higher education lady and she wasn't aware of the problem and they give out the paragon leaflet to students which isn't very good xx

I didn't really want to house share for my first year but I think I'm gonna have to if I can't find anywhere else. Did michele recommend anywhere else? Xxx

Me too. I'm panicking now. I'm from welling in Kent. If I wanted I could probably travel about 2 hours each day but if rather move out. I'm going to try and find somewhere by the end of the week so I can start getting it sorted. If i do have any luck I will let you know xxxx

Let me know if you have any luck.. me and chelsey were saying a few of us could all sprt put sharing somewhere to make it cheaper.. and as we are all doing the same courses xxx

Sort out**

Hi girls I'm in the same boat, was kinda relying on getting a place at Paragon! I've looked at other halls in London but they're way more expensive :frown:

But I'd be up for a house share with you all cause at least then we'll be living with people from the same college!

I'm doing the HND Specialist Makeup btw :smile:

Hello me and my mum looked into living with a host family.. and they look ok.. rather cheap you can also share with another student which is quite nice.. its about 120 for your own room.. and if u want to e with another student only 105... they are ib west ealing would be nice if we were all in the same area.. even if we all done that for a few weeks and all looked for a flat once we are togetjer and all there xx

I've just been looking on Rightmove and I've seen quite a few houses in Isleworth, Ealing etc so quite near the college, a lot of them are like £500 a week so if that was split between a few people it wouldn't be that expensive xx

I know! It might even be cheaper than halls. I have found a few cheapish halls too but I think they're more like hostels tbh, and I really don't want to stay in one of them lmao :frown:

No I wouldn't either. Are the bills separate with the house? Like not included with the £500 per week? Xxxx
