University College London Accommodation: Students' Opinion

AI-Generated Summary based on 13 Reviews

Students have options for both on-campus and off-campus accommodations. On-campus accommodation through UCL averages £190-£200 weekly, with examples like Arthur Tattersall House costing £198 per week for a single room. Off-campus rents vary widely, such as £650 per month excluding utilities for a private rental. Some students pay £800 monthly for on-campus housing, including all bills.

Students often live off-campus after their first year, and private housing is sometimes preferred for being more cost-effective. International students are advised to choose student accommodations for safety and reliability.

Accommodation

Off Campus

I opted for on-campus accommodation because I got a job as a college community assistant at Grizedale college, Lancaster University. It is one of the conditions of this job that I shall stay on campus. My monthly rent was around £800 including all bills.
I did not face any challenge in my accommodation. It was a very beautiful and calm place to study and live our life.

My Masters experience in my dream university - University College London

Likes

Oldest Chemistry Department in England and hence consists of faculty who are pioneers in their respective field or are contributing to world leading research.
The Royal Society of Chemistry accredits most of the courses offered by the Department of Chemistry which gives the students opportunity to attend seminars and connect to researchers who are members of the RSC and are conducting cutting edge research.
The courses offered by the Department of Chemistry is highly research oriented which enables the students to learn by conducting critical analysis of the literature and by designing novel experiments, compared to the conventional method of classroom based education.

Dislikes

Location of classes can be quite far apart from each other which sometimes lead to confusion and/or reaching classes later than the assigned time.
The number of students in a particular course is extremely small (due to the difficult admission process, to maintain the academic standard of the institution) which makes it harder for students to make friends or acquaintances.
Some of the modules can be quite advanced for students hailing from India even if the term "advanced" is not mentioned in the course title and irrespective of the fact that they might have taken the respective course in their undergraduate. Only thorough studying of the course and dedicating extra effort is the possible solution to a situation like this as UCL is an institution with a top 10 ranking in the world and hence an academic journey here is obvious to be a bit challenging.

Accommodation

Off Campus

I am renting an independent property off-campus and I found it through an online platform called Imperial Housing Solution.
650 pounds, Wi-Fi included. Utilities are not included.
I had to pay 6 months rent upfront due to a lack of a UK-based guarantor.
Do not opt for campus accommodation, as it is much costlier and smaller in size.
25 minutes. Campus accommodation or private student accommodations.

I opted for student accommodation through my university portal.It was not very challenging for me as I applied in university portal and got my accommodation.
The monthly rent is around 13000 pounds.
My accommodation is very safe and it takes around 30 minutes to reach my accommodation. Most of the Indians stay in wembley but it depends on the location of the accommodation and most of the students opt for private housing as it is cheaper than student accommodation.

Life at University College London

Likes

Support from Professors.
Environment around is very motivating.
Network you build here will support you a lot and help you a lot.

Dislikes

Sometimes you don't know how and whom to contact for the issues you might face.
Being an international student the study pattern is different here but you can cope with it.
It's expensive to live in UK or especially in London,so you might focus more on jobs rather than studying.

Accommodation

Off Campus

I took private accomodation. I had a couple of friends already living here so they helped me with finding the accomodation and managing everything before I arrived here.
Many Indian students who don't have any contact prefer staying in student accomodations as they are safe and reliable. So if you are new and don't know much about UK it's better to choose student accommodation as it's much easy to get scammed here.

Really excellent experience socially and academically.

Accommodation

Off Campus

Accommodation is through the university in first year, after which students are expected to find their own accommodation. Individual rooms most common but you can share in first year. Through uni the average cost is £190-£200 weekly. For renting your own flat, costs vary greatly depending on location, number of rooms, etc.

The factors that drove me to accept the offer were: World ranking, campus and location, well-rounded course structure related to all branches of Psychology, focus on scientific aspect of Psychology. What I liked most about University was the social aspect in terms of clubs and societies, and the focus on providing a well rounded Psychology background and the practical work we did. These factors also led me to choosing this particular program.
