Campus Life

  • We have 3 campuses total in South Kensington, White City, and Battersea. There was no sports facility or medical services; however, there was a library, multiple cafes, bar, many different types of studios, and communal spaces.
  • There were some clubs like Drawing Society, Queer Society, and more but they were not a huge part of the campus events.
  • There were no campus festivals or clubs that took place at the college. There were sometimes cultural fairs, especially at the beginning of the school year. There was also a student representative organization.

  • My university did not have any on-campus accommodation so I went with off-campus housing with a private company; I just searched on Google to find my student housing. My monthly rent was around 1100 GBP, which included power, water & wifi and full furnished apartment with bed, study desk, sink, 2 closets.
  • We also had communal bathrooms, cinema room, and a common room. Due to the housing crisis in London, it is very difficult to find a room, especially within the month of August - I was able to secure one of the last rooms in my house.
  • I recommend student housing as you can easily book a room online without a viewing; it also allows international students to meet a lot of new people from around the world really fast.
  • Depending on the campus, my accommodation was between 20-40 minutes away from all 3 locations. Most of the Indian students that I knew personally were staying in student accommodation.

  • Our college has 3 campuses, the locations are beautiful and they are located in very different spaces.
  • We have medical services, admissions offices that help with keeping the VISA checks and other administrative tasks in place, wellbeing space, a library, and workshop spaces like photography, weaving, sculpture, pottery, etc.
  • We have a student union who host all the events in college and they have smaller societies within which there are events that take place. To name a few, karaoke night, winter ball, Diwali party, Halloween night, etc. They also set up Christmas Fete and stalls during the semester where students can showcase and sell their products.

  • We do not have campus accommodation. I booked mine through an online service suggested by the college which was quite smooth.
    The monthly rent is 1170 GBP and it includes all the bills, water, electricity and we do not have to pay the council tax as students.
    The main challenge was not being able to see it in person and trust the images shown. It usually is very different than what is shown in pictures.
  • Go for student accommodations if you wish to be a person who networks and would like to meet more people. If not, you can choose for separate flats which is much reasonable in terms of price. Choose accommodations closer to your college that makes you cut down on travel costs.
  • My flat is a 30 minute walk to the nearest campus. Indian students are scattered all over London but they are mostly corse to one of the campuses.

I am staying in a studio with dual occupancy so the share is divided between two people. I think for students it is best to stay in student accommodation places so that all the utility bills are included and there is security too. Apart from this, there is always an opportunity to meet like minded people(students) and make new friends. There are other rental options as well like renting an apartment but there is a lot of paperwork to be done and scams happening.
