    Pros- cheapest option for LSE summer school accommodation, decent breakfast, nice front desk…read morepeople, cute little outside area Cons- EVERYTHING ELSE: -SO STUFFY that I honestly didn't get a full night's sleep for 3 weeks. If my window was open to make it slightly more bearable, it was SO LOUD i couldn't remotely sleep. People would sit outside and literally scream, talk, and play music until about 3am, and the bus stop right outside my window meant I could hear it stopping and moving again all night long if my window was open (so my options were sweat to death or be kept awake with noise) -Laundry machines are so expensive and do a horrendous job at washing clothes. It requires a laundry card which they were out of for 3 days when I wanted to do my laundry (and the front desk clarified that yes, that meant it was impossible for me to do laundry) -Brochure on the desk says that towels will be changed every other day, and I'm lucky if I get a new towel once a week. -Bathrooms smell horrendous to the point that walking past it makes me sick. Water pressure in the showers were sometimes so bad that it would take 30 minutes to get washed -No sheets provided on the bed- only one GIANT comforter so it was basically nothing or a blanket for the Arctic which was just strange -The elevator walls were covered in these weird, creepy paper strips that started falling off at one point- was a little bit worrisome!!! -At the break between session 1 and 2, the maids came and threw away everyone's food in the kitchen with NO WARNING as if nobody was staying more than one session. I lost brand new packages of rice and pasta, seasoning, etc. (about 15 pounds of stuff) At least staying here was relatively cheap, but if I ever came back to LSE, I would definitely pay more to stay somewhere else and be able get a little sleep.

    From the owner: LSE Rosebery Hall offers single, twin and triple rooms with a shared bathroom and some en-suite…read moretwin rooms.

    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.

    This is an elaborate prison for graduate students, with a bar…read more They will promise you that they have nice studio apartments with kitchens. They will shove you into a 110 sf (11sm) room with a bathroom, at best, with no kitchen, and forbid you to have even a microwave. The room will have no air conditioning, and will be heated by a manual valve-controlled radiator. You have a choice between freezing and steaming. Welcome to 1920. They tell you that there are shared kitchens available. Well-stocked "Buttery," is the word they use. I think they have invented it. These are not on every floor, not kept clean, and provide absolutely no implements to cook with. Some of them are basically a kitchen sink and a microwave. They will tell you that they provide cleaning once a week. In reality, they send a cleaner once a week who cannot keep to his/her schedule. You have to strip the SINGLE bed yourself, and they will (err, are supposed to) leave clean linens. They forget to do this at least 20% of the time. Instead they go about moving around the items in your room so that when you return you can't find the waste bin. This is a game that you play once a week. Every so often, for fun, they turn up out of schedule and strip your bed linens, sometimes leaving new ones and sometimes not. The front desk staff is a bizarre merger of Fawlty Towers and the typical British, "I couldn't be arsed." You tell them about a broken laundry machine and they say that they can't do anything, not even put up a sign, because they can't leave their post. This 'post' is essentially a doorman job, but they won't answer the door. If a fire alarm goes off, and you scramble out as you should, and happen to forget your wallet with your ID, they will argue with you that they don't know who you are and can't give you a temporary access to your room without your ID, even though you have just explained that your ID is in your room. Never mind that they have a computer system with your room number and a photo directly in front of them. The location is great. Close to school for me. It is fairly cheap, as it should be for such a terrible place.
