Goodenough College 2023-24

Hi,
I'll do an MA in Applied linguistics at UCL. I also applied to Goodenough at the end of February and I'm waiting for a decision. I'm glad you created this forum and good luck! :smile:

Hi everyone!

I am an offer holder for a MSc in International Migration and Public Policy at LSE! In late February I applied to Goodenough College, and I am eager to get my result at the end of March. I could not find an existing forum for 2023/24 Goodenough applicants, so I decided to create one!

Wishing everyone luck with their applications!

Update: I am so excited to announce that I received an offer of accommodation! I will be staying in a 1-bedroom in William Goodenough House! Wishing everyone the best of luck and would love to connect with other future students!

Hi! Congrats! I got a place as well but my second choice of room which is above my budget so I haven't decided yet. :/

Congratulations to you, too! I am sorry to hear that what you were offered was not what you wanted. That actually happened to me, too, but I’m not sure I can turn it down haha. Do let us know what you decide!

Hi everyone,
I am hoping to apply to Goodenough College and was just wondering how long anyone who has received an accommodation offer was given to accept it?
Thanks!

Hi! Thank you! I would encourage you to do some thorough research into the College and all that it offers (clubs/societies, extracurriculars, events, etc.) before applying so that (a) you make sure it is a good fit for you and (b) you can refer to specific ways in which you hope to involve yourself - the 'community contribution statement' is a great place to highlight this! Because you also submit a CV, you can avoid making the personal statement too focused on your past history / accomplishments, and instead use it to highlight what you bring to the College and what you hope to get out of the experience! I hope that helps a bit! Good luck with your application!
