In case you aren’t sure how it works, all first year undergrad students are guaranteed a place for accommodation\u00a0as long as they accept Imperial as their firm.\u00a0I received an invitation to apply for accommodation in July- you get to choose 5 preferences but these are all ranked equally.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n My halls consist of three blocks: B, C, and D (I’m not quite sure what happened to A). Block D is arguably the place to be- where the kitchens have panoramic views.\u00a0*Insert heart eye emojis*\u00a0<\/em>At WW, all the rooms are ensuite and we’ve also got an on-site two storey gym, music rehearsal rooms, study spaces, a common room complete with pool and foosball tables, etc. #BraggingRights<\/em><\/p>\n The nearest tube station is pretty much across the road (North Acton Station) and there are a couple bus stops dotted around nearby. There’s\u00a0Tesco Express and Sainsbury’s Local a stone’s throw away, and a massive ASDA which is about a 10-15 minute walk from WW. (Oh, plus Domino’s, Subway, and Costa are also a minute away.)<\/span><\/p>\n Nearby is the other Imperial hall- the Costume Store. They share their building with UAL students and pretty much come to all our events. Sad.<\/p>\n Speaking of events- WW actually had something planned daily for a whole month during Freshers!<\/p>\n The regular events at the moment include free breakfasts and movie nights with snacks on Sundays in the common room.\u00a0(Not going to lie- I’ve never been to any of the events but I do appreciate them!)<\/em><\/p>\n Admittedly, WW has a large medic presence\u00a0*maniacal laughter*\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>and most of the closest friends I’ve made live here- I suppose the commutes are almost a form of bonding? I’m actually sharing a flat with two of my best friends and it feels like a party everyday (except it’s not- the lectures are endless, and I’m personally constantly sleepy). :’)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Admittedly, it’s not all rainbows and butterflies- as mentioned in the opening line, WW is a bit of a trek into campus (compared to other halls anyway). <\/p>\n Oh and did I mention I’ve got a roommate? There are definitely perks such as having company after watching horror films in case a killer is on the loose. Just kidding. We’re Imperial students- we don’t have time to watch movies.\u00a0This is not at all true<\/strong>, I’m actually immune to so many horror films. :c P.s. She’s a maths student- scary, right?<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/oYtVHSxngR3lC\/giphy.gif\")

\nI wasn’t totally thrilled to find out it was a 45 minute journey to South Kensington and a 35 minute journey to Hammersmith (Charing Cross Hospital). So basically, I wake up around 7-7.30AM for 9AM lectures.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/wofftnAdDtx4s\/giphy.gif\")

\nIn all seriousness, having the company and someone to speak to is pretty nice plus speaking from experience, it’s always good to have a back up incase you get locked out of your room! (You could actually just go to security and admit defeat- but I’m not about that life and neither is my roommate.)<\/em> I’m genuinely so grateful we get along and she’s honestly the absolute sweetest! I mean there’s a bit of clashing toilet use in terms of which side the toilet roll should be facing- but this can be overlooked. We actually also have conflicting bedtimes, but we make it work- thank goodness she’s a relatively heavy sleeper!<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/fpXxIjftmkk9y\/giphy.gif\")
