Yes same! I'm just so conflicted between the different types of accommodations. Which accommodations have you been looking at so far?

I was looking at some external accomodations, but, I think one in the uni campus shud be best . However, I am not sure yet as to what factors shud i consider before deciding on one. Have you shortlisted any yet ?

Nope still not yet but the one I had my eye on was for George Elliot which is just a cross away from the campus however it quite expensive considering it’s one of the most recent accommodation

Hi, the on-campus halls in Royal Holloway don't have any room that offers a private kitchen.

I am a second-year student and have booked a studio at Derwent Students Parish Hall. It's close to all the supermarkets in the area (Tesco, Iceland and Waitrose), the cinema and cafes/restaurants nearby. It's also only 2 minutes away from the train station. It is in your budget with £289/week.

However, due to personal reasons, I am looking for someone to replace my booking. The deposit of £250 is already paid for so you don't have to worry about it! Please let me know if you're interested.

George Eliot is really really nice

But yes, it's expensive

Hey I was wondering how long it takes you to get an answer for Preference based accommodation selection (I tried selecting a room but it kept failing for an hour, every one I selected was taken) and how likely is it for you to get one of the top 3 choices you choose (I applied on the day it opened)
