Wolfson House

Hi to all KCL offer holders! Anyone else chosen Wolfson as their first choice accomadation? I did it a few months ago and am starting to think if perhaps I have made the right choice, oh well, too late now I guess! I (fingers and toes crossed) will be studying Medicine at Guy's campus so I just chose Wolfson for its ace location, being ON Guy's campus. Which would be mint for the first year, ensuite or not!

Also sorry to double post, naughty me :smile:

, but are there any Wolfson house 07/08 inmates on here? Would like to know what you guys and girls think of the place and if you had any tips for potential incomers next year.

oooo i am kinda in the same position as u
i am going to put wolfson as my first choice... cause i'll be based at guys campus too (dentistry) and i think being as close as possible will be ideal on cold dark winter afternoons. plus its got a halls-ey feel to it ... and i thought that with so many ppl on one floor.. it might be rather sociable? maybe? hopefully?
:biggrin:

cant wait

woo
:biggrin:

p.s thank u for the wolfson thread :biggrin:

wolfson is the bestest (i think) (i hope) :biggrin:

lol sorry

Does anyone have pictures of the king's accommodations from the inside? I'm tired of looking at Brian Creamer from the outside. Lol.

Afraid I don't have any pictures of the inside, but all the King's halls are pretty standard- most of them very small. My intercollegiate room is much bigger than any of my friends in King's halls :wink:

However as a medic if I picked again Wolfson would definitely be my first choice- the proximity to campus makes it a winner!

WOLFSON WOLFSON WOLFSON IS THE BEST
PICK WOLFSON
PICK WOLFSON
WOOOOOOOOO

(lol mainly cause i dnt want to be the only one going there - although i can see some other ppl here have picked it as their first choice... and also i am sure it is the best)
but... it you are based at guys campus it will be ideal... who would want to walk loads and loads and loads (ok maybe its just 5-10mins) on a cold dark winter afternooon. (through a park) (even tho the park looks ok)

(p.s its not too late.. i am still to apply! but i should be done by the end of the week.. deadline is 30th June) :smile:

I'm there now: it's pretty awesome and i'm not even studying on guy's campus. you won't regret coming.. any specific questions anyone wanted to know about it?

I wouldn't call it divey. its hardly modern but there's nothing really wrong with it...

Yeah just a few things please mate.
1, Is there wired internet points in the rooms or is it all wireless?
2, What are the common room facilities like?
3, What would be the best piece of advice you would give to someone moving into Wolfson? IE What would you have brought with you etc etc
4, Is it quite sociable?
5, Are the security staff and building staff quite chilled out?
6, What's the state of the bathroom facilities like?
7, What's with the whole "yes/no minifridge" situation? - Would you recommend we bring our own?

Ohh and to Mooface and Workandstudy looks like Wolfson won't be a boring place with you two there! Talk about enthusiastic! Oh and Mooface totally agree about the extra grand thinking, it will be well spent on many a cheap vodka redbull fuelled nights out!

THANKKKKKKKKKKKK GOODNESS SOMEBODY NOTICED MY ENTHUSIASM lol did i spell that right?? hahahah
omg we are going to have the bestest time ever!! PICK WOLFSON EVERYONE!

(if ur really wondering what its like ... and if u live in london...call them and ask if u can have a tour, i did, and it really put my mind at ease...

i've decided that the close proximity to guys campus definitely makes up for the ikki looking building

- plus i think it will be more social than GDS
cause its in Halls style - its not apartment style like GDS... and there are a max of 14 ppl on each floor... which can be good)

:biggrin:

soooooooooooo excited :biggrin:

Good to hear :smile:

Nope haven't had a tour of Wolfson, I've went to GDS on the open day but there wasn't an official tour of Wolfson so just I went back to Manchester. So you've been on a tour of it?

Mooface

Yea i did on my open day! glad i did tbh. :smile:

put my mind at rest!

its pretty nice tbh! i mean its not 4 star quality.. but the rooms are bigger than my bedroom so i'll cope :P
im sure with a great bunch of people it'll be awesum tho.. coz it has a real hall/corridor feel to it! :smile:

what was GDS like? thats my second choice...?
