Student Houses - Self Catering

These are UCL residences in which students are responsible for providing and cooking their own food and cleaning their own rooms (and common areas if living in flats). Kitchens are provided in which students may prepare their own food, or meals may be bought from the various food outlets on the main UCL campus. Bedlinen is not provided, but can be purchased. Students will need to supply their own kitchen utensils. Some of the Houses are large and purpose-built, while others are converted private houses. Places are offered for the 30 weeks of the UCL academic year plus the Christmas and Easter vacations.
