SOAS Accommodation

1

Hi, I'm an international student with a conditional offer to study Japanese in SOAS and I put it as my insurance option. I've been looking at how to apply for accommodation, but on their website it mentioned that they wont offer accommodation to those holding it as an insurance offer. Is there anything I can do or will I have to somehow manage to find somewhere to stay in August if I don't get my firm offer?

Hi, congrats on your offers! Yes so as SOAS is a small university we only have one halls of residence for only SOAS students, due to this you can only reserve accommodation if you have a firm offer. But don't worry! As SOAS is part of the University of London, there are several University of London halls available as well as lots of private providers all across London.
My advice would be to look at the other halls and private providers to get an idea of what's on offer via the University of London housing service: https://housing.london.ac.uk/
Also you can email the SOAS accommodation team at: [email protected] and they can give some more tailored advice.

Hope this helps!

If you can get an offer I can offer you my room in Garden Halls (University of London run) from beginning July to end of August. Its a 5 min walk to SOAS.

So if you do take the SOAS offer you can contact me to arrange the lease change. Let me know!

I’ve deferred my place at SOAS to next year. Does anyonewant to take over my tenancy starting Sept 10th 2024- 21stJune 2025 at Camden Stayclub opposite Camden Market?3rd floor Studio Plus (own kitchen and shower room). 2double beds. £419 a week. I’ve already paid the deposit soyou don’t have to pay that, which makes it £409 a week.You can contact stay club and tell them you want room 236and it will be deposit already paid.If you don’t need you you can do the same thing - offer it to another student as a tenancy transfer. Lots of people are looking in a panic in August after exam results!
