If you accept the offer of a place on a programme after mid-August, and there are no vacancies in halls, your application will be placed on a waiting list in the event of places becoming available. You may need to consider commuting to Goldsmiths at the beginning of the term, or make alternative arrangements, which the Accommodation Office will be happy to assist with. If you live within Travelcard Zone 6, but still want to live in a hall of residence, your application will have a lower priority and will be placed on a waiting list for when places become vacant after the start of term. So Goldsmiths can offer you a choice of good quality, reasonably-priced accommodation, with lower rents than many other similar universities in London. College accommodation varies from self-contained flats and converted period houses to more traditional halls of residence.
Kitchens have fridges, freezers, microwaves, cookers and food cupboards.
All you need to supply are kitchen utensils, bed linen and personal items. Most of the accommodation is mixed, but there is one all-female residence. All accommodation is within walking distance of College, and you have easy access to Central London by public transport. Budgeting becomes relatively simple because the fees include all the costs of heating and lighting. We try to ensure that each hall has a good mix of students from different degrees, and at various stages of study, so you quickly make friends across a wide section of the academic community.
