please dont hate me coz im in halls!!

Aha, nope I think I'm just a bit bitter, having gone throught the *stressful* experience of being a first year outside halls...without that security that there are Hundreds of people around you in the same position.

Raaaar I need to shut up - but yes Mary B is excellent isn't it..But its another house next year for me wooo!!

If anyone needs a 7 bedroom house in camden for next year - you can have mine!! - (HAHA - free advertising space!!)

Good luck in your orals next week by the way!

Ooh..I can now write on this thread, having just got an offer through from RVC! Would I be right in saying that there is unlikely to be any kind of hall type accomodation left by now?

And if that is the case, is anyone looking to share a flat / house? I live in North-West Kent at the moment, but I don't think I could face the commute every day!

I don't really know what's going on at the moment, as I am in Orkney clipping sheep. I only know I have an offer at all because someone at home opened the letter for me and rung me to say...

Your.Angel Congrats with your offer!! Did you do IB as your offer was unconditional? Good luck with finding a room :wink:

@ Arwen, sorry but I only need one room:P if I'll go to RVC next year..

Thanks

It's an unconditional offer because I already have a degree. I also just got home this morning and read the letter for myself, and found it's an offer for the accelerated course. Bonus!

Guess I'd better start thinking properly about finding accomodation now, as the thought of commuting is not good!

If your a warden at mary brancker. you get a swish studio flat for like 70 quid a week!Thats wat a couple of my mates did who were on graduate entry last year.Ideal if your especially skint if uve already done1 degree.Col

Interesting... Might have to look into that - although perhaps it is too late already now..?

na don't think it's too late.Col

Or perhaps, seeing as there are already about 5 of us with no halls at the moment, we should move en masse into Arwen's house :p:

oo, flat 1s the strange one!! hehe! your in end block by the cows, and its the disabled flat, so all the kitchen stuff is lower then the others. iv got a couple of friends who lived in flat 1 this year so i think theyl have kept it nice and clean for you!!

i think c is the same in flat 1 as all the other flats, so your next to the kitchen (good if youve got a quiet flat, not so good if youv not!) and your on the ground floor with your window facing a wall (most of them are so dont worry about that!) but you can see the cows and ponies from your window which is nicer then mine was!

its not that much smaller, think theres one lower sink and one normal one, and the ovens n stuff are the same, the kitchen is just a bit of a different layout, so your the unique flat! im going to miss college grove! i loved flat 5, even the noisy flat mates! its a lovely place to live and im very jealous :smile:

*Arwen*

Yep - its literally just outside the camden town tube station.

the letting agent is Saffron...so yeah - the house is ace!!

are there any more details you can give us, all we know is that it has 7 bedrooms. and does its location mean that it is noisy at night?

I now know of 2 more people who want a house in the area too, so this 7 bed house is looking better and better. Although I might need to hear some more details too before I say that, like *coughs* rent...

I would imagine that it's not very quite near Camden tube station (but where in London is?). Just think of the shopping though. :smile:

If I say scary trouser shop, does that mean anything to anyone?

Batty_hatty - if you're looking for people to live with pm me. I've been in contact with a couple of people in a similar position, and we're thinking about meeting up sometime soon to try and sort something out.

Same goes for anyone else of course.
