Whats up guys! My name is Kenji and I am currently a medical student at King's College London after graduating from the University of Birmingham with a Bachelor's degree in Medical Science (BMedSci). In this video, I take you through Julian Markham House accommodation at King's College London.
If you enjoyed the video, please give it a like and a comment so I know to make some more! Also please show support by sharing it with a friend who's also interested in Medicine :)
Thank you so much! - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Thinking of this accommodation for my move from UOB to KCL in September! Thank you for such an informative video :)
You're welcome! I'd recommend it 😊
Great video! You were super informative and the time stamps were a blessing :)
Thank you so much :)
Shower room and bed is definitely a plus from the last room tour!! Wow would really move country just for this accommodation, well designed and well decorated.
For sure! It's definitely a little upgrade :)
Thank you. Very helpful to see videos of these accommdations.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video!!!
Thank you so much!
Hello there! This is such a useful video, especially because the applications for accommodation open in March. Do you think you could review Stamford Street Apartments? Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback! I'll email king's and ask 😊
Hi, this will be very helpful when deciding for my accommodation. I was curious regarding the shared kitchen, How many people share a kitchen? Thank you so much!
Are all the rooms in Julian Markham like this? Because on the King's College site there are some photos with rooms that have some kind of older furniture, but they are labeled Ensuite, even if they are different from your Ensuite room. I am confused.
The website is a bit old but I think they all look the same!
@Rudy Sullivan lmfao stop
Really like this accomodation. Btw, when you showed the shower, is it just that tiny rectangular space or is there more space behdn the wall?
Just the tiny rectangle haha
Hello, thank you for the useful video! I’m thinking of choosing JM as a first year. What floor would you recommend - middle or top?
I'd recommend the lower floors because the lift/elevator would stop working all the time!
hi Kenji! I like ur video! I got a offers from kcl (Msc Bmsr). I want to know which accommodation is the best choice. Atlas JM Orchard balabala or GDS ? Thanks for ur help. I’m just so entangled.
GDS is a good choice if you want to be near to campus, have a reasonably priced accommodation and also a gym. That was my favourite accommodation! JM is good if you want a bigger and better room and don't mind paying more money and being further from guy's campus
is the Julian Markham house quite sociable or do ppl stay in their rooms a lot? also is there a specific KCL hall that is quite sociable, like maybe Great Dover Street appartments, cos im not sure what to put down as my preferences for accom. thank youu
It depends on the people that you get put in with your flat! But I'd definitely say that Great Dover Street Apartments is a lot more social!
Hey Kenji! Can you stay at the same accommodation or other KCL even in your 3rd/4th and 5th year?
You're not guaranteed accomodation but I had no problem getting it!
Hey Kenji, what was the security like in JM, did you have to sign in friends to have them over (before COVID)?
Nope they were quite relaxed! But when I lived at GDS I did
Hi Great video!
I'm a incoming post grad student at king's
Since I'm an international student, I've no idea about the dorms.
Which done do you think would be better for students who has a tight budget
Hi! Julian Markham is on the more expensive side. At the end of the video I put a list of the prices for each accommodation. I would personally go for Great Dover Street Apartments!
I just stumbled upon your video, I’m an upcoming medical student at kcl and I was wondering, is the silverfish issue real in JM?
hi, does it have a gym/ how far is it away from a KCL gym?
Im interested in Angel Lane. Cn you make a video like this about that accommodation?
angel lane is nice for the price, however, you gotta consider the 35 minute journey just into London itself as Stratford is the furthest accommodation. Also, the sharing of ensuite is 7-10 people unless you get a studio ofcourse
@@UKbiebsfever Doesnt ensuite mean private bathroom? You mean 7-10 people sharing a bathroom o_O
Jasmine liketheflower no ensuite means your own bathroom. But kitchen yes
@@UKbiebsfever thanks
Which accommodation do you prefer between Julian Markham and GDS? I stayed in GDS my first year and am contemplating between GDS and Julian Markham for my final year. I will be based at Guy's campus and I know JM is slightly further from Guy's than GDS.
JM is better in terms of the room and accommodation but is further from campus but if you can afford it I would go for that! Otherwise if youre on a budget and want to be close to campus I'd say GDS
Thank you for this! How do you find it living in student halls as a graduate?
You're welcome! I didn't mind it at all. Everyone was quite mature and understanding and there were a few second/third years too!
Hi thanks for your videos they are very helpful. Can students choose to be in halls after yr1, normally? I thought you were not allowed to be in halls after yr1.
You can but you don’t get priority. I still managed to get halls until my third year
Hej Kenji. I am moving into this room in September! Really excited.
The only question is whether the bed is a double or a single?
On your video here you show that bed size is 137x189cm, but when i go on the Julian Markham website currently the bed size has moved down to 120x190cm. Do you know if anything has changed? I was a bit annoyed that I couldn't book a viewing to see my room in real life because of COVID, and I know have 3 sets of bedding all as a double as a few months back I read that Julian Markham has double beds??
Thanks! :)
Hey! Not sure if the changed before me but they were double 😁
It advertises it as a small double on the website with those measurements
Hi I’m seeing this a bit late but I’m intercalating at Kings next year so was just wondering how handy it is to get to Guys and how safe it feels in the area?
It's quite handy, only a 20 min walk or so or one direct bus. I wouldn't say it is the safest of areas but I definitely had no problems with safety when being there
What grades are required from a level to transfer from biomed to medicine. Also, can anyone who does biomed get into medicine with a BBC for example. And what ukat or bmat score does a biomed student need to get into medicine
It depends on the university - have a look at their websites. The minimum a level requirement is usually around ABB
I don't suppose you've got any knowledge of Atlas? I'm going to be at the strand campus, so Atlas is further but the premium ensuite is tempting me, so I'm debating between the two
Sorry I don't know to much about that!
@@DoctorKenji Alright, thanks anyway :)
Hey Kenji! Can you tell me what's the dimensions of your ensuite? In ft?
Hey! 13 sq. ft. (approx.)
Hey, I’m a bit late to the video but regarding prices ... on the website (which I saw u commented it’s a bit old) it says £169pw but u mentioned the lowest being £275pw .. is it really that expensive, a bit misleading of the website?
Its 169pw for the KAAS scheme which is people from a low income background but is otherwise 275
Are London unis very social bc I've got offers for medicine (from KCL,UCL and Birmingham so far) and I was wondering what is the social life at London unis compared to other places like Birmingham and Nottingham where they have campus unis? And how is the nightlife as well
In my personal opinion, socialising is much easier (and somewhat better) outside of London. Although there is a lot of social life in London here, it's a bit more difficult with non-campus unis and where most people live a bus/train ride away from you whereas outside of London students tend to live together in particular areas. The nightlife is great, but also quite a bit more expensive. Both options are great though, just down to personal preference!
Hey Kenji, I heard the area around JM isn’t very good and that there’s a silverfish problem? 😭😂 other than that I wouldn’t have thought twice about picking it, i have until the 24th to decide and I’m soo stuck between it, GDS and Angel Lane which i like the most but it’s far from guys campus (med). What would you say?
gds is the best option I would say. Angel lane takes 35 minutes by tube to get into central London
Neoculture_TV what about JM?
Taz bes location wise as its practical and yes there is silverfish issue but its bareable to live with
Neoculture_TV had you lived there?
Taz most of my friend lived there and ive been there a lot.
Quick question about bathrooms. Are students expected to clean their bathrooms throughout the year? Or are they serviced by cleaners every week?
Unfortunately you have to clean themselves!
The video was very helpful, however i think theres a problem with the audio? Your voice only came through one side of my earphones, and when i took them off it only came from one of the speakers instrad of both. Maybe its just an issue with me? But the video was amazing so thank you!
Thanks! I picked up on that and fixed the problem for my new videos
Unite students is a great accommodation, but it's always overpriced.
I agree!!
Hi kenji,
With the current news about the high crime rates in London would you say it affects your life? Do you see crime happening on the streets, ‘dodgy’ people around, or has something happened to you?
Thanks
Definitely not! Especially if you stay in a secure location like this 😊
Dylan London’s crime is definitely over exaggerated and is not what you think it is
As a medical student would you say you have good handwriting? Great vid BTW!
Hahaha no definitely not 😂 it's gotten worse over the years. Thank you so much!
The outside areaaa is litttt
Forealllll!!
Do all halls have ensuite? Are they really expensive? Is it easy to get an ensuite room as an undergraduate?
No not all of them. The price is on the website and it's hard to say if it's easy but I got it in all 3 of my first years
Can i rent julian markam ensuite room just for a week? I'm thinking for apply distance online learning at kings college. and i just need to come at Waterloo campus for only a week in a year.
Hmm I know you can do that in Great Dover Street Apartments but I'm not sure about Julian Markham! I'd say to give them a call
Stamford street accommodation looks so much better than the Great Dover street one. The location is better (it seems to be closer to Waterloo campus and there's a library nearby) and the room is much larger. The shower is separated from the toilet area which is such an IMPORTANT part for a girl. But I just got Great Dover accommodation offer and the allocation said I can't change it to Samford Street one. 😞
Don't worry, GDS is nice too! :D
Hi, does accomodation offer parking at all?
Unfortunately not!
Hi! I'm currently applying for accommodation. Hows the social life at Julian Markham?
It's decent but I found it to be better at Great Dover Street Apartments during my first year
Kenji Tomita Thank you!!
are the king's residences catered like the inter collegiate halls??
I haven't come across a residences in King's that offer catering!
Hii I was just wondering, how long was your contract length? Currently trying to decide on accommodation and contract length times (based on price) and I'm unsure if 40 weeks is too short compared to 48 or how it even works? I'm meant to be starting my dentistry course this year if that makes any difference, tyyyy
also, would you recommend this accommodation over Great Dover Street for a first year student?
I believe mine is 40 weeks which covers me for the entire school year! And I would defo recommend Great Dover Street, probably even over Julian Markham for first years!
Kenji Tomita Okayy tysm that’s helped a lot ☺️
Kenji Tomita why would you recommend gds over jm for first years? the bathroom and lack of storage space is basically the only thing that’s irking me
At any uni, never go for a contract above 40 weeks, you’ll regret it. It means you pay rent through summer when you’re not there
How much do you need to pay?
How many people share the kitchen?
Lol I would need KAAS to afford this 100% - better get saving!
Nice
Thank you!
Hi Kenji great video - What's it like to be living in halls as a student who isn't a first year?
It's very chilled! My flat mates are lovely and I also have second years in my flat 😊
would you recommend living here in first year? or is ssa better?
I’d say they’re both great tbh! Just the price difference and location
can anybody comment about the safety of the area?
I had no problems at all during my stay there and didn't hear about any
how many ppl per flat?
Up to 7!
How’s the safety taking the rain to get to campus
No issues there!
The tube is pretty safe
is this located in S. London?
It's in Elephant and Castle which should still be in central!
@@DoctorKenji oopsies, i’m not from london and when i looked it up online it kept saying s.london, but thank you !!!
Am i d only 1 to not hear the 1st min
Which campus is it?
20 mins from Guy's campus and 25 from waterloo
No kettle again? 😅
yup 😂
Do you work while studying?
No I don't work a job!
u pay extra for this? can you live into college?
Yes I have to pay extra and here in the UK all college/university accommodations cost.
