Some live with their families in the London area, others live in apartments or houses nearby. First year off-campus students are invited to a Welcome Barbecue in August. The Off Campus Committee of Students' Council organizes special events throughout the year. Some students opt for a King's Meal Plan. All students eat together in the Thames Market.
Lounges also provide a comfortable atmosphere.
All of these opportunities enhance the first year experience. Students seeking off campus housing may wish to contact the Off Campus Housing Office at Western or the Dean of Student's Office at King's.
