UCL one pool street accom swap 2025-2026

Hey, I have a single en-suite at one pool street for £296 a week. Are there any ucl east students closer to Bloomsbury campus with an en-suite that would like to swap? I don’t mind it being a more expensive room. This is for undergrads. Please let me know.

Hey! I applied for accommodation at UCL and I’ll be studying at the East campus, but when I applied, One Pool Street wasn’t an option on the site, so I ended up putting all my preferences in Bloomsbury. I’d really rather not stay there though 😅
I haven’t heard back with an offer yet, but if I end up with a Bloomsbury accomm (which is definitely going to happen) would you maybe be up for doing a swap (if that’s allowed)? Just thought I’d check in case it works out for both of us!

Yes I will definitely be up for a swap as I really want accom closer to bloomsbury. Tho I’m not sure how it works but we can try to figure it out. And could u let me know what offer u end up getting. And also one pool street came under the preference for ucl halls. So if u put ucl halls u still have a chance of getting one pool.
