Ah amazing! You're literally the first person from the course I've heard from! Have you seen any places you like yet? I've seen a couple but I haven't fully decided on what area yet. Where are you from?

Think I've managed to find one it like! It's on Holloway Road but there's a few round Highbury and Islington that are nice! Was looking at a few near Blackhorse Road tube before that weren't great, have you had any more thoughts?

I'm still struggling ATM but I've hear bad things about pure Highbury. What's yours called and are you getting a studio or just normal room?

I know it didn't look a great area I had a tour booked there but didn't go! I looked at Chapter Highbury and it looks nice and right next to the tube station! I'm thinking just normal rooms so I can get to know people rather than just moving away and being isolated,
I looked at one called Charles Morton court aswell that's in a nice area and a decent price but the tube is a short walk and they're fully booked at the minute so I've just asked to be put on a waiting list, have you got any narrowed down?

Yeah I was thinking the same to get to know people. I've seen on pure student living the bankside one, but I'm debating going down to London because I don't like going in blind and not knowing the area or anything

Yeh if you can get down deffo go! It's so hard to judge an area without looking, pure bankside looks fab though!

Aw no! Yeah I think I am but I didn't receive anything in the post like others have though
Hi girls! I’m hoping to go to FRA this September to study the marketing and communications degree as well! Just wondering if you both got in and if so how have you found it so far? Did you both get student accommodation? I’m going to be moving over from Northern Ireland! Any info you have would be so helpful, thank you!
