Hi guys! I know how stressful finding a student accommodation in london can be, especially in a period of disruptions like this, so today I decided to put together all of the knowledge I acquired in the past year of choosing a hall and living in one and put together a helpful guide for you'll future freshers! Also thank you also to everyone who contributed by sharing their experience #studentsstandtogether. Hope you find it useful and good luck on your research!
Xoxo, yours, Costy

Thank you so much for making this video! I was having a hard time trying to decide where to go, it really is a very big decision, so clear and honest information is key! Thank you!

I can imagine this would be challenging. I remember when I was in school and lived in student housing it was hard to get in, NY is expensive and the school I went to had a waiting list because it was affordable. Oh yeah being late makes it more stressful. Haha the dorms were so cheap they were $200/month. But nothing fancy. Just a basic small room with hospital style floors, a sink and you could fit a small half fridge. The kitchen and bathrooms were down the hall communal. And roaches in the bathroom (and the rooms) and some creepy janitors. But the rooms were all single so you had your own space. I had a view of the veteran's hospital but there was a courtyard with trees so that was nice. It was right off the freeway on the east side of Manhattan. Very well explained video!

Hi I know it might sound like a silly question, but how did you decide how much of your stuff to take away with you? Like how did you deicde how many clothes, school stuff ecc..? Thanks for the video:)
