Hey thanks for replying!
iv been to visit the place now and know all i need to know about the course.
the campus looks live!
if any of you lived in halls which ones did you live in?
also if you did live away from home was your loan enough to live off? im also going to get 1k for a grant and maybe the kings bursary.
tell me what you think of the place and how your experiences have been so far???

| I live int he Kings Halls in Great Dover Street in Borough. They are good halls when u compare them to the others in London. All the rooms are en-suite! Also they are v well located Borough is a really nice place lots going on and a great market. Also the transport links to the campus are easy and quick. Stamford street apartments also v nice.

the loan won't be enough, though it depends on how much tuition fees you are paying and how much loan you get. the year will probably cost you about 8k.
what course are you doing?

If you get the max loan, plus no fees, and an overdraft; you should be ok. Though it depends how social you are. Clubbing in London aint cheap! I lived on the guys campus last year, although im taught at strand and waterloo (comp sci). The guys campus doesnt have sport facilities as far as i know.....the kings college gym is at waterloo (stamford st appts). I don't use it so can't comment.
I'll just give you some info on the guys campus.
As you probably noticed when u visited, the two main dominant racial groups are the asians and whites. They pretty much keep themselves to themselves, and are quite segregated. The asians can get rowdy at times.....never make the mistake of going to fuse on a thursday night........anyway, there are not many blacks, but of the ones there, they are female and mainly african. The majority are very studious and partake in no hanky-panky.
If you want more info, il be glad to help.

The gym at the Stamford Street apartments is very well equipped . They have everything you could need and the staff are very helpful. It is also reasonable to join when you become a member of the union.
It is true that clubbing in London isnt cheap but there are decent student nights at most clubs if thats what u like. However, as a girl it is much easier to have a cheaper night out! ;-) The best thign to do is to make friends and contacts with the various promoters who can get you into all the best places for free!
Sure you will love Kings. I dont totally agree with the last posters view about how segregated the university is. I think it depends who you make friends with. I do agree that it is best not to go to fuse on a thursday though!

i put down wolfson house as my 1st choice, and then dover street as second. are they ok places? wolfson house was cheaper and id rather be living where there are less people. i need my own space. and it was closest to campus. it looked abit sh*t and run down from the outside but i guess a bed is just a bed.
im planning not to blow all my money on going out, but i doubt thats going to happen. fuse is the thing that happens once a month in that bar downstairs? i got invited to that but never went to it.
anyways, to be realistic i think i will need a job to have a good time without going under

Great Dover street is full of P*kis and its boring as hell and expensive (£1,500 a term, its more than a f-in mortgage). Borough is a sh*t area, i dunno if u guys r from london, but im from london and i can tell u borough is sh*t compared to other places.
I have yet to see ONE buff girl walking down great dover street, the only people u c r students. GDS is segregated, as in, its hard to meet people cos everyone is in a flat and seperated, so the only people u meet immediately are the people in ur flat.
And all thse f-in P*kis think they are black, callin me blud, im not ur blood so dont talk to me.
i hate to sound negative, but kings is a good uni, just dont waste ur money on great dover. i regret it.

It all depends on what you want. If your primary aim is to be near uni, then go for wolfson house. If not, avoid it like the plague. It is a rundown ish hole. It will make you depressed.

I agree. I had a friend living there last year and she said it was a total letdown. Even when i went to visit her, I didnt like the vibes.

Im looking for 1/2 flatmates for a really nice flat I found in Oval, I'll be starting at Kings soon, they delayed my inerview so I only found out I got a place last week, and I doubt I'll get in halls coz the competition is tough,
So anyway im look for a flat mate(s) preferably female, non smoker. The flat is opposite Oval station, and very modern just been refurbished, and clean about 100-120 pw
If you're interested contact me at ladysylph@yahoo.co.uk
Thanks

Medicine is a tough but enjoyable course. The students come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Mainly asian,oriental and white. Few black females, barely any black males. In the 2003 intake of medics, only one was a black male.
There are fun people of all races, including black. It's just a matter of seeking them out. As for eye-candy, I have yet to see a black/black couple. Make of that what you will.
The nightlife is excellent but pricey. The accommodation in general sucks. Its rather expensive, not exactly value for money.
I don't really know what else to tell you...im entering my 3rd and final year in 2 weeks so I think i've got a pretty good idea of what kings is really about, so you can ask me anything.
I will say though, that kings is the kind of place where u get what u put in. If you make an effort to be social, you will have a good time. However, if you wait for things to happen, your experiences may not be soo great.
