The Garden Halls are £23 a night but are catered and almost next to my campus which saves transport costs. Stamford street/Great dover street apartments are all en-suite but really expensive, £20 a night self-catered. There's a few cheaper ones at around £16, but one is really far out and the other is just a tower block.
So yeah, pretty expensive, but at least they're not all as expensive as this: University of London Accommodation - College Hall
Garden Halls are here: University of London Accommodation - Garden Halls
God, those College Hall prices are crazy. I thought I had it bad having to pay £1,400 for a year-long oyster card, but that accomadation is waaaay too expensive for me.
Yeah College Hall is ridiculous, don't even think the rooms are any nicer than the others in the intercollegiate area.
Where'd you do your undergrad?

Oxbridge, University of London, Imperial etc. are all so average.

Is Uni worth it? Really?

Ok, If I was too go which is likely, I can imagine something Computer related or Maths related would suffice, is it good for that aspect?
Maths is one of the best degrees you can do, employers love it as it shows you have a large range of important skills (numeracy, problem solving etc.) Computer courses seem to be highly competitive, I'd choose Maths because it can open so many more doors and doesn't limit your options as much. You're a while off needing to decide so things may change, but Maths is an excellent degree.

Thanks Joel, very likely I will take your advice, as Maths has always been a specialtyMaths is one of the best degrees you can do, employers love it as it shows you have a large range of important skills (numeracy, problem solving etc.) Computer courses seem to be highly competitive, I'd choose Maths because it can open so many more doors and doesn't limit your options as much.

What are you taking? Besides drugs Can be useful, if you get a 2.1 or above from a good university, for going into the financial sector where jobs can be lucrative but competetive. I have a friend who graduated from a Birmingham two years ago with a 2.1 in maths and he's still working in Argos though.

See thats my problem with Uni, today employers in this current climate are not that interested with the person with the most degrees, am I right in saying that?
