And my new home in London is...

CONNAUGHT HALL! I could not be more delighted, getting a single room at Connaught Hall is just what I was opting for! I just paid my £525 deposit, and the accomodation is now officially mine! I am feeling rather nervous - I can't believe this is where I am going to spend my next year! At the same time I am trying to stay positive about everything! Some of the things that appealed to me about Connaught was:

• It is located only 5 minutes from the UCL main buildings. Meaning that lazy buggers like myself can in fact roll out of bed 15 minutes before lectures start.
• You are allowed to keep overnight visitors for a limited number of nights. Very important if Henrik is coming over once in a while.
• It is catered, meaning that I won't have to put my appalling cookery skills to use. (I will worry about that in my second year...)

And now I am going to force some photos of Connaught Hall into everybody's enthusiastic faces:

Connaught Hall dining room, where we will be taking breakfast, lunch and dinner. Oh my god, I feel like Harry Potter! This is just so British.

An example of a standard single room. It looks terribly spartan like all student rooms, and the bed looks like it will collapse anytime. However, posters, pictures and a fair amount of fluffy pillows will do the trick, and I shall love the room with every inch of my heart.

Every floor has its own tea pantry! I was so glad when I found this out, because this morning I was actually thinking "Hmm...what on earth shall I do about tea time?!". As if that would ever be a problem in ENGLAND! I cannot focus without a cup of tea in my hand.

You share a bathroom with 20 other students, each bathroom consisting of 3 toilets and 3 shower cubicles. I was really concerned about sharing a bathroom with so many - especially with boys - but after looking at these photos I am no longer worried. It all looks really clean, and the shower cubicles are completely separated with private changing rooms. And I had to smile at the carpeted floor! What is it with Britons and carpeted bathrooms?!

A view of Connaught Hall as seen from across Tavistock Square. I'm half in love with it already.
