r/KCL

postgrad here and honestly mistake on my part for not researching more but i can’t cook so literally booked Vauxhall thinking that ~oh i don’t care about the “one kitchen for everyone on the floor” and i was just gonna buy foods that i can just refrigerate and microwave hhhhh

There is no affordable accommodation in kings residences left. Now I don't know what to do. Because Wolfson house would be preferable to me with its location and costs, and it is impossible to find similar rates.

Please could I have some advice.

I’m going to KCL this September and I’ve decided to commute (partly because it’s much cheaper for me, partly because I failed to win the Hunger Games to get accommodation). It’s about an hour-hour and a half commute in one direction provided there aren’t any delays.

However, because of this I’m really scared I won’t make any friends. I’m obviously going to be heavily reliant on train times back home, which will make it hard for me to attend last-minute hangouts and late nights out. I’ve started booking SU events for freshers, but they’re all non-alcohol because I can’t drink due to a health condition.

I was super isolated during 6th Form and I’m so scared that I won’t be able to make any friends.

Does anyone here commute and is able to share their experience or give any advice?

Thank you :)

Hello, I’m just wondering for the stem students (if your not stem feel free to answer too) :)) but is there anyone on your course that was let in with significantly lower grades? Let me know your stories 😋😋

js wondering if anyones seen one of those google docs for atlas this year floating abt? can barely find anything ab atlas anywheere 😞

I'm quite nervous for freshers week, because I know this is when most people meet friends but I don't really drink and i'm not too keen on going clubbing. I'll probably go out to one or two clubs, but I don't fancy doing it most nights! And also because I don't drink I feel like it won't be as much fun and that i'll be missing out...

Is anyone else in a similar position?

non KAAS

Im so confused does G0X- **A mean i am living on the ground floor? Or does it mean I am living at X floor at
unit **A?

how do i decipher this man haha, the agreement also doesnt seem to say what level i am

Hey yall, I got an offer for KCL’s Neuroscience Bsc. I personally don’t love loud music, raves, drinking alcohol and disco, will I still make friends when I’ll be studying there? Am I doomed to be a social outcast?? Is London even the right destination for me if I don’t really love parties? Please help :3

I'm joining this year, is it normal to not have received any information about enrollment, timetable, modules, and university email yet ?

As title

student societies fayre, go drinking/clubbing every night, talk w flatmates..... what the hell else have people done/do you do to make friends n where do you go / HOW DO U DO FRESHERS?!?

So I got into lancaster university for physics and astrophysics bsc since it was my insurance choice and I got rejected from King's. But considering that I only missed my offer by a few % and that the course was on clearing with even lesser requirements I reached out and asked King's support why I got rejected, and was informed that they made an incorrect decision and that I can apply through clearing and I'll get in.

The problem starts now. My friend lives in London and it'll be his second year at King's, and we had been planning on getting accomodation together if I ended up going to King's. He had also been facing a rough patch and he had been kinda lonely staying alone. I applied last year but wasn't able to attend uni due to personal reasons, and King's has been a dream uni of mine for 2 years atp. But everyone is now telling me that lancaster is a way better option for astrophysics given how much focus they put on that field compared to King's as well as the student satisfaction rate and class size. The only thing King's has going for it is research and a lot of resources which only play a deciding factor in postgraduate and PhD. I've asked around quite a lot and everyone is recommending that I go to lancaster for quality education and then to switch to a uni with more emphasis on research and the capital to facilitate that.

I'm genuinely stumped since idk what to choose people say that I should go for King's if I plan to start working immediately after bsc since it'll be attractive for my CV but if I plan to pursue higher education (which i do) then Lancaster is a no brainer. Can anyone give me a definitive answer? Any alumni that can perhaps shed light on this topic?

Is there anyone who still hasn’t received their CAS number yet? I am supposed to move into accommodation on September 19th and I still haven’t been given my CAS number. My offer has been unconditional since May 20th and I paid the deposit shortly after. I have sent three messages as old as over a month ago and still have not received a response from anyone on King’s Apply. Has anyone had experience with this and can give me advice on how to move forward? Kinda freaking out.

im stuck here and the 'next' button is saying i can't advance to the next step of the accom process. for context, im a clearing student, and i firmed my offer at 1:15pm on results day. it is now 9.15am on monday so defo more than 48 hours after i firmed my academic offer.

is anyone else who's on the UG guaranteed waitlist/insurance/clearing list stuck here also? or have you guys managed to get into the portal and book.

update me once the portal opens. i called the kcl accom number and the lady said the portal can open at ANY time between 9am and 5pm but im scared it just won't update for me and i wont know when its opened since they haven't given any actual confirmed time.

thanks in advance and good luck getting accom if applicable to you!

Has anyone who got allocated kaas priority booking for today managed to get a room on the website yet ?
