Hi everyone! In terms of accommodation, I really want to live near Guy's Campus, but I have never been inside their accommodation before. I tried looking for those that have catering but I think it's limited to 2 boardings (which includes other students under UofL)? Has anyone already chosen (or decided on) their accommodation choice and can share their thoughts?

Hey does anybody know any KCL medics and what the social life is like? I’m tryingg to decide between Birmingham and kings but I keep hearing from other students that there isn’t much of a social life/ uni feel to kings?

My friend who does EMDP says that there is a lot of social time especially in London as they also hang out with a100 students who also have some time on their hands. They also travel to like Birmingham etc for clubs as London is pretty centric and literally all trains depart from here. Here is a pretty good YouTube video of a person who did bio med at Birms and GEM at kings https://youtu.be/mf915XD5qQs

I want to firm King's but I'm still waiting to hear from Manchester...
I've got offers at QMUL and KCL but both A*AA so need an insurance option. Also got Birmingham for Medical biochem at AAB.
Do I withdraw from Manchester to firm KCL and insure Birmingham? Or wait and see if Manchester give an offer and if its potentially lower grades?

Hi thanks for the advice, lol I must have watched every YouTube video already. I’m still really unsure whether kings will have the uni feel to it compared to a campus uni rather than being spread all over london. Thanks again

No problem, I believe kings medicine lectures only happen at the guys campus, I may be wrong tho but guys campus is beautiful, especially the libraries. If you got time you should visit :smile: best of luck, hope you make the right decision

Is anyone thinking of Stamford Street Apartments for accommodation? I only firmed yesterday so can’t book yet but wanted to know if it is a good choice before I try to book!

Similar question, trying to book accommodation and considering good ones. Don't particularly like GDSA but drawn towards Julian Markham and Atlas, what would you guys suggest

Hi guys sorry for the stupid question😂 the deadline for firming kings is 9th of June right? And for internationals, does anyone know what is the deadline for paying the deposit? As I am not sure what does the firm acceptance dates mean as stated on the offer letter. Thanks!
