Ellie-Jean ahh I hope this can be of help! If you’ve got any other questions feel free to shoot me a DM 💕 I hope you’re staying safe and take care lovely!
Hi! I absolutely love your videos, I’m going to be a kcl student this coming September and I’m trying to find accommodation close to Denmark hill campus (but champions hill has been closed) please could you do a video on the different accommodations there are in first year and wether most people are willing to walk the 40min/or take transport to get to their campus everyday. Also if you could mention any tips on how people find part time jobs / get money to afford all of it! Sorry I know it’s a lot!
Haha yes at times it can be but once it’s all sorted, there’s no achievement quite like it!! I certainly did envy those staying at home a lot while I was sorting bills 😂 (16 chow points - I hope you’re doing well and staying safe lovely 💜)
Marina Okarina usually 14 or13 depending on when you were born if you were born In August you are the youngest and if you were born in September you are the oldest I was the oldest In year 9
🏠🏠🏠💜💜💜 You're so great! Thanks godness i've been living in my current flat for 2 years and gonna stay here, cause i haaaate looking for a flat for renting in Madrid, it's tha jungle!
Hello dear, I found this video such useful. I'm a Swiss nurse student, and I was wondering if there are some differences in applying to get a flat in LDN post graduation (I'd like to do a work experience in a couple of years after the bachelor, so I'm already tryin to settle in mind what I should to coming the next years)
hi i will aply to universities this month. If i get accepted, should i first come and stay in hotel before renting house or should i rent in advance from my country?
what should put in my UCAS term residency section if I don't have a living place secured? Is it expected that we go through with accommodations before knowing whether or not the university has accepted us? UCAS Applications are due November 2022 but my term would not start until September 2023 *I am an international applicant! Thanks for the helpful content!
Mei-Ying, I know this is on an unrelated note but since you have used PenPal World I wanted to know if it is actually safe to put your address on there?
I’m stressed about finding a flat in London as an American. Hoping I can visit ahead of time to go flat hunting so I can see the place in person before putting down a deposit!
Hey Alex - I feel with covid everything is a bit different this year but there will be a lot more on offer and lower prices which is great. I would say start looking around may if you can or even June 😊 keep your eyes peeled now just in case but the majority won’t start late august rn
Sorry to bother you but is it that you did not like college hall that you had to change it or did you change your accommodation only for the sake of change. Would you please leave a 30 word review about the college hall and your new accommodation and rate them on a scale of ten. Thanks a lot!
I know I'm not the person in the video but most people end up leaving student halls after first year especially in London because there just isn't as much space for accomodation for second year and third year students, since first years are prioritised more when it comes to university halls. This means after first year many students have to find housing out of univrsity.
does anybody know what to do when you can’t live in your student apartment (due to covid-19) but have already paid for 4 months? my private student accommodation/landlord doesn’t want to refund me - is there any way to get my money back? I’ve never stepped a foot into the room since I rented the apartment for an international internship which now won’t happen...
Chrissy Bre that’s definitely a sticky situation. I’m so sorry to hear about that Chrissy :( I know currently there’s a restriction on landlords taking possession over their tenants assets but Im not sure about refunds - www.gov.uk/guidance/government-support-available-for-landlords-and-renters-reflecting-the-current-coronavirus-covid-19-outbreak that’s the link for the information as it stands. You probably won’t be able to get a refund but you might be able to get a subsidy from your internship maybe? I know some of my friends are getting displacement packages to help them afford accommodation so maybe look into that? I’m so sorry I can’t be of more help but if I hear anything more I shall let you know!
Mei-Ying Chow thank you so much! it’s really tricky :( as an international student I really don’t know much about the English law and what to do in this situation. my university has offered little help but unfortunately not nearly enough to compensate the rent costs. while I obviously don’t want the landlords and staff to lose their jobs, I think it’s extremely unfair how students are treated since I personally can’t even travel to the UK even if I wanted to. I hope the government tries to help out soon! thank you so much for the link though!!! I always try to be up to date on that matter!
If you’ve the £ you’ll be fine . You I’m guessing won’t be able to get past home / job references so you may have to pay a lengthier deposit, good luck
Don't use NOTTING HILL GENSIS Terrible Landlord. Still waiting 2 months for them to repair paintwork. They refuse to even tell me which paint was used so can't repair it myself
Hahaha you never know! You might move to London one day and you’ll know all the tricks of the trade 😂😂 I also appreciate the support nevertheless 🧡 big hugs Luise!!

🏠this seems soo stressful! I think I'm gonna stay away from housing stress for a while lol😄 have a lovely day💕

Even though I’m only in year 9 I love watching your videos because my dream university is kcl💕
Just curious, how old are you in year 9? I don't know how grades in high school work there
Marina Okarina usually 14 or13 depending on when you were born if you were born In August you are the youngest and if you were born in September you are the oldest I was the oldest In year 9
Marina Okarina I went into year 9 aged 13 and I’ve turned 14
Very useful for international students ! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! My pleasure - ask me any more questions if you think of any!
choosing a flat is so tricky with limited budget and a viewing in a long-distance. :(
Any website recommendations for finding a two bedroom flat? Or did you just use estate agents? :) x

Thank you very much.

What are the best places to live in London for students.

I’m looking to move to London Canary Wharf when I’m older or Cornwall I’m not sure
Ooooh both certainly have their pros! I’ve never been to Cornwall but it does look beautiful ☀️🧡
Hey Mei 👋🏻 I was wondering for 3 students looking to move in the last week of August when should we aim to be finalising?
Hey Alex - I feel with covid everything is a bit different this year but there will be a lot more on offer and lower prices which is great. I would say start looking around may if you can or even June 😊 keep your eyes peeled now just in case but the majority won’t start late august rn
Iam moving to West London University can u suggest some residents for me

Afan Ali Thanks for letting me know. Are you also a student in a London uni and are you from Pakistan guessing from the name.😀
Musa Salahuddin Im in year 12 at the moment and I’m actually Iranian haha- u were close tho 😁
@@afanali6248 I see so are you planning on going to university in London
@@musasalahuddin8722 That is the plan but it all comes down to a lot of factors ( I wanna do medicine so it depends on my UCAT scores)

What if I'm gna do an apprenticeship?
If you’ve the £ you’ll be fine . You I’m guessing won’t be able to get past home / job references so you may have to pay a lengthier deposit, good luck
I don't understand but I do?
In regards of the guarantor, I wished your video was made 10 years ago, it would've helped very much if I knew sooner about the guarantor issue.
Don't use NOTTING HILL GENSIS
Terrible Landlord. Still waiting 2 months for them to repair paintwork.
They refuse to even tell me which paint was used so can't repair it myself
I am in 9th grade - why the hell am I watching this video?😂
Hahaha you never know! You might move to London one day and you’ll know all the tricks of the trade 😂😂 I also appreciate the support nevertheless 🧡 big hugs Luise!!
