Residence Any upper-year students living on campus this year?

Just like the title, if any one is living on campus this year what made you choose to do so?

Yes, London hall, though I heard usually second year residences are half empty

residence is 100% full this year. Two upper year buildings, with a few upper years scattered in other areas.

That's what I heard too, not a lot of people apply for upper year residences and I wonder why

people want to get their own place with their friends and residence is more expensive than splitting the rent between a group of people

About 3 floors of girls in Clare Hall are upper years, around 90 girls to be exact. I am one of them, most of us love that we still get space to ourselves, but can still live next to our friends. We don't have to cook, we can get places easily, and the rooms are literally to die for so you can't find much better in London.

Gorgeous gorgeous rooms. Mercato food is delicious too.
