Yay! I’m Wimbledon too! Doing costume, wbu? It is so long 🥲 but pretty much all of them were the same tbh- it seems weird not to have any halls closer to Wimbledon!

Sick!! I'm doing technical arts! Yeah they definitely need a hall closer to campus- do you think you'll be taking the tube? I was looking at bus routes today since I thought they'd be cheaper but they all seem to average 2 hours 😭😭

Nice!! Definitely! Think the tube will be quicker and cheaper with an Oyster card too😭 I think furzedown had a shuttle bus to the station but not too sure with the costume store

Thank you so much for mentioning this omg 😭🙏 I had a look at Find Digs so I think I'm gonna call UAL accommodation tomorrow to double check it. I wish they weren't asking me to pay the deposit for costume store before Friday because I'm definitely considering this now and I wish I had more time to decide!! I don't wanna loose my offer for the costume store in case private booking doesn't work out y'know 🥲

@Zooweemama1 just called in and they said there's still UAL rooms available at Furzedown and Cedars! They recommended just waiting and checking back in to see if they're available yet!

No way!! Thank you so much for letting me know!! So does that mean you will decline your current offer and wait? Idk how you can look at availability whilst having an offer

Ngl I think I'm gonna decline my costume store offer and book a private room in Cedars with Find Digs now. They did mention that the next wave of bookings will be on the 6th if you still want to book Cedars/ Furzedown through UAL tho!! The only issue we'd have to decline the costume store offer 😭
