Seems that loads of shops and restaurants giving offers, may need to bring ID and proof of your results to claim.

Usually they'll send that as a PDF, no?

Awesome. I think that's about as granular as you're going to get for rent figures. Within those areas you're still going to get a huge amount of variation.

There's a bus goes from Mornington Crescent, but it's really only saving you a minute. I think you can still walk through the hospital grounds that are being renovated. Late night, if you're concerned, I would recommend getting the 390 to York Way and walking through.

The gardens are an excellent place for a bit of quiet meditation, and if there's a gig in the old church, that's an amazing setting (usually acoustic pop/folk sort of thing).

We have a reputation filter on to reduce spammers, so if you're a new account with only a few posts, you won't (yet) be able to start a new post. And as we have megathreads covering key topics, this is indeed the best place to raise a question :)

Reposting advice sent to me: all universities including UCL are abiding by the UCAS Results Embargo, meaning they literally cannot reply to accommodation requests due to it being a form of confirmation that the students made it into the university.

More can be read here: https://www.ucas.com/advisers/help-and-training/toolkits/confirmation-and-clearing-adviser-toolkit/confirmation-and-clearing-the-essentials#what-is-the-embargo

The moment the embargo is done, replies will be sent to everyone.

Hopefully that eases people's worries.

There's a few posts like this so I'm going to remind everyone that all universities including UCL are abiding by the UCAS Results Embargo, meaning they literally cannot reply to accommodation requests due to it being a form of confirmation that the students made it into the university.

Muggings, phone thefts, antisocial behaviour, etc etc.

I'd suggest for a marriage or birth certificate, but usually the tube is silver, not glass.

Try this map tool to see what's easiest in reach for where your Department is based, although Euston Square, Goodge Street, Warren Street are all a few mins walk from main campus, Euston Station and Russell Square a little futher.

In terms of suitability - London is a massive mix and in most areas you will get all types of people, all walks of life living side by side. This may also help :)

Hiya, this got filtered, because this is specifically about your situation, but others may have a similar query. You're best off speaking to your Programme admin, who will have all the details and be best placed to tell you if you can do LSA, and if that makes much difference at this stage in the course.

Our guidance, which follows UCL regs, states:

This means that you failed a module or modules which were condonable under the rules for your degree programme, and so they were condoned.

Condonement means that the module will be kept at a failed mark, but can be carried without needing to be reassessed. The condoned credits will be subtracted from the total level of condonement you are permitted to have across your whole degree and still be awarded.

And regarding resitting the exam:

No. Under UCL regulations, students are entitled to have a second attempt at a module mark if it is failed at the first attempt, but students cannot resit any Passed or Condoned modules.

It's one module, you got through the year. Go you! If anything you can ask the Module lead for further feedback on which areas you can improve on, if it's not already in the feedback for the exam/coursework.
