KCL Accommodation First Year

Hi everyone!

I've just gotten an offer from KCL for Physiotherapy, and I was wondering where most people stay for accommodation as a first year. I'm primarily going to be on Guys Campus, so I was thinking between Moonraker, Great Dover Street, Julian Markham and Hayloft Point.

Have any other first-years on Guys already made their accommodation application (if so, which one did you pick), and for any second or third years, which ones did you stay at, and would you recommend it?

Any help you could give would be great as I just don't want to be alone/the only first-year in my building.

Thank you!

My DD will be at Strand and thought GDSA would be a pain to get to...but know it's a party / sociable hall so tempted!

Hey! Booked GDSA too. I actually wanted to apply for KAAS as I qualify but I got concerned when the website says it may take up to 14 days (and rooms were going off fast). Is it true it's a sociable flat? That's honestly making me feel a lot better about my choice. Do you know anything else about GDSA?

hey! i'm also a first year. I booked accommodation at GDSA - figured it would be the most convenient, considering it's only 10 minutes away from guys campus and the hospitals
