Campus and Accomodation at UCL And Kings

Hi! My daughter has an offer to start at UCL studying International Relations and Politics this Fall.
I want to understand distances between classes and accomodations. Are undergraduates and first-timers in London given preference for accomodations. For classes - is this program at the main campus or at East UCL. What would be the distance between classes like?
She also has an offer from Kings for Global Health. I would like to know about distances between classes and accomodations here too.
What about the 'campus feeling'?
Internship/project etc opportunities?
Sorry for so many questions :smile:
Is someone studying here or has a child studying here?
Thanks!

Hello! I've also received an offer from UCL so I've done some research on accommodations. Undergraduates usually get prioritised when it comes to accommodations that are offered directly from the universities application portal. In terms of standards, UCL has their halls which are graded by bands. Usually this would mean quality of the accommodation i.e. if it was recently refurbished or not, and distance from the University. For the course she has applied for it would be in the main Bloomsbury campus so the accommodations would range from around 180 pounds to around 400 pounds depending on the room type chosen. Thing to be careful about is that some halls are for postgraduates only so check the details before booking. It is also worth checking for amenities etc.
I have decided not to live in a university hall but to book for an external student accommodation offered by trusted companies so I cannot specifically detail the booking procedures for the direct halls.

If she chooses KCL then the stamford street apartments are across the road from the teaching building. Super popular for obvious reasons.
