Hey can you help with accomodation prices in London? I'm so put off applying to UCL just as I feel like after first year I'll have rent which is like £48829292 a month 😩

[@vihanjain6975]

Lucyharrisonnn absolutely not! You can get a decent student accommodation for about £260/week!

[@swand1383]

[@iamellie1175]

Ive got a place at UCL, and it seems like student life is very very dead. The freshers "ball" is a basic night out/clubbing......im worried if im going to like it :/ or if its all work and no fun

[@anaburnett5547]

I am Ellie how did you find it in the end? I’m gonna apply to UCL I think

[@AlenaNadia99]

[@eddiedoyle1886]

for UCL when you take a gap year do you apply for accommodation in the year you sit your a levels or the year you would enroll? I'm considering deferring my application but don't want to delay my decision too much as to miss out on good halls! haha x

[@Vivirivi100]

Do you know where we can find a list of the societies at Oxford (and when they might have taster events etc)? Thanks xx

[@alivejai]

www.ox.ac.uk/students/life/clubs/list?wssl=1 This is what I've been looking at on the official website :)

Omg these unis are my top two, can’t believe I only just found this!!

[@Rajantuber]

Just dropped off my son at Francis Gardner at UCL. So depressing that place. One of the best Uni ....but one of the worst places to get accommodating. My Son is not too keen now.Hope wont effect his academic performance. I think its gonna be difficult to gel with others.

[@haoweishi1340]

[@prodipkumerdey2984]

I love she..because she is my first love. Wow ,she is very cute

[@LLGAMINGVIDEOS]

No offence but Cambridge is quite obviously the best place to study classics but I understand your reasoning for applying to Oxford due to your personal circumstances.

[@prodipkumerdey2984]

I love she..because she is my first love. Wow ,she is very cute
