    Goodenough College - As far as Colleges, it's GoodEnough

    Goodenough College

    Bloomsbury

    Having lived here for nearly two years, I am probably Goodenough College's biggest fan. The college…read moreprovides accommodation for around 600 international postgraduate students studying in London. A great deal of emphasis is placed on building a strong community within the college, and there are numerous events which showcase the various home territories of the residents, as well as sports and social clubs where you can meet other members. The admission process is continuous, so it is possible to apply at any point during the year, but the majority of changeover occurs in September and October, at the beginning of the academic year. Admission is decided using strict academic and social criteria, with the emphasis being on admitting the most community spirited individuals, who will hold up the traditions of the college. There are a limited number of places available to couples and families, who live in apartments, whereas the majority of students are allocated single rooms. Both apartments and rooms are usually spacious and comfortable with good study facilities easily available. I would recommend Goodenough College to anyone who is very social and studying for a postgraduate qualification, it is fantastic.

    For me this was an unpleasant, disorganised accommodation hall. I broke my lease, paid a penalty,…read moreand left because of the many problems. If you're looking for a quiet, calm place to live whilst you do your postgraduate studies in London, I would strongly urge you to think twice before committing to Goodenough College. Before arrival: Goodenough College administration lost/was unable to locate important forms I submitted (per their instructions). This resulted in lots of wasted, chaotic time once I arrived. After arrival: Noise noise noise. The noise in William Goodenough House was, for me, completely oppressive. To elaborate - 1) The insulation is extremely poor in the building so you CONSTANTLY hear the plumbing (taps running, etc) and/or your upstairs neighbours plodding about. 2) Members with small children were mind bogglingly disrespectful, letting their kids run up and down the corridors like it's recess outside or letting them ride Razor scooters inside at 7.30AM en route to school. 3) Adults regularly have loud, drunken conversations in corridors at all hours of the night (weeknights and weekends). 4) False fire alarms go off allllll the time, from 2 in the afternoon to 3 in the morning. Also, the WiFi is so, so, so slow. This dial-up level of internet speed was in 2016 after Goodenough's hugely-touted 'system upgrades'. To be clear, after their 'upgrades' I could not carry on a Skype call or download papers from JSTOR due to the slow internet. Cosmetically the building is okay (but there are cracked mirrors in the lifts, quite a bit of damp in the basements, etc). The location is fine (central enough, but numerous muggings near Coram's Fields so be aware). The rooms, and their mattresses, are a bit tired (old beds, scuffs and nicks galore all over your flat). Take caution unless you're ready for a dorm-like experience 24/7.
