Not from London and doing the foundation?

I got a place (!?!) but i'm not from London and worried about costs, stress etc. Anyone in the same position? :smile:)
i'm not from London but live about 40 minutes away on the train. I've applied to do the Foundation at Camberwell so I'm thinking of staying in accommodation as I don't think i want to travel in everyday especially since the overall journey would be about an hour and a half altogether.

I got a place on the Camberwell course too and I'm from Norfolk so definitely going to stay in halls of residence as it's too far to commute. I'm not sure what is normal for foundation students but I'm thinking either gardens or portland house as they are closest to Camberwell? Do you know which accommodation you're applying for?

I'm pretty sure you have to pick 5. I chose the two cheapest gardens house ones as my top two and then three portland house ones

No I got costume store which is too far away and too expensive so I had to decline. I'm now looking for private accommodation. You're so lucky! 😄

Ah lucky, Portland house looks lovely! I'm doing the diagnostic as I couldn't decide between graphics and art
