Hey!
To be honest accommodation is the scariest thing for me about going to UCL. Being an international student, I'll be all alone in London (basically all alone in the UK) and since UCL does not let you state a preference for a particular hall, I'm really worried about being allocated to one that's not so close to the campus or is in a bad condition. I saw many halls that I am really fond of, especially the ones that are close to Bloomsbury. I am planning to stay in a single room and most probably a self-catered one.
What are your preferences, and how do you feel about UCL's room allocation strategy? Also what are you planning to study, if you don't mind me asking?
