<blockquote>Hi folks!

I am right now arranging for my accommodation in London. I need to find out if King's college's residence is better than the Intercollegiate halls in London. I have read and looked into both in detail and I know the difference and cost factor, but I still can't make up my mind. If any of you guys have stayed in King's college's residence or Intercollegiate halls in London, could you please give your feedback and overall assessment?

Thanks in advance!</blockquote>

I haven't stayed in either of them, but I have friends who stayed in Intercollegiate halls (College Hall), Hampstead and Stamford Street during their first year at uni. Intercollegiate halls are supposed to be better (overall), yet more expensive. I'd definitely also bear location in mind. Either Stamford Street or Intercollegiate (all the halls around the Russell Square area) are fairly close to Somerset House. Don't forget to check which halls are catered and which self-catered, whether they offer en-suite rooms, etc.

You're welcome! Basically what they said about Stamford Street (don't know about the other King's halls) was that the actual halls were OK, but that the rooms and shower rooms were really small. Hampstead is far away from uni and the bathrooms are shared with over 5 people or so. Also, depending on where you are allocated, they can be much further away from Somerset House and London is already big enough! With regards to Intercollegiate, there are obviously many undergrad students, but the halls are supposed to be better (maybe Lillian Penson Hall not as much, although the area is pretty nice). Still, some of the King's halls look quite good, but personally I'd rather stay somewhere which is not too far away from uni and/or in SE (SE1 - Waterloo, etc. is OK though). Some of the Intercollegiate will still be fairly modest and there seem to be some modern King's halls, so base your choices upon location & how good they look, facilities, etc.

Best wishes!
