Goodenough college london

It's stunning! Went to a conference there before Christmas. The whole place is amazing! Next to Corum's fields and about 5mins from Russel Square. Location wise - you couldn't be better suited.

Cost wise, it's actually not that much more per week than I'll be paying (if they ever open the PG accom application :mad:

) for the most expensive halls at RHUL

RHUL is £121 a week plus food! (38 week rent) UCL's costs are pretty much the same, some halls are slightly cheaper.

christ!! i'd love to live/study/work in london but at those prices i simply couldn't afford to. students in halls nowadays are getting really ripped off. as i've said before, you could literally buy a house with those sorts of figures, especially if there were 2 of you. i have graduate friends on the commuter belt who pay less and they are in pretty new, tiptop 2 bed apartments with 2 designated parking spaces. it's just insane.

as far as i can tell UCL dont offer post grad application to home students :mad:

or if they do its only if they have some left, which means you will be left hanging till the last moment

£130 is good for the location, i don't think you could buy even a one bed flat for less then £300,000 in central London tbh

oh no, i agree with you about the house prices of london. london is fab, i love it to bits and its probably my fave place in the uk. it's a shame that home students have to find their own accommodation, but if £130 is normal then fair enough.

It's stupid isn't it? It's what worries me most if I go on further after my MA.

Saying that, Chi are charging over £100 a week for halls...

in 2003-2004 i was paying less than £70 for a new, grade 2 listed city centre location but now exeter have built a shed load of new halls which are similar to what you are paying. it is scary!

I pay less for a 3 bed house with a large garden and a garage in a nice estate away from a main road.

Glad I don't live in london.
