Hello everyone, I am an international student planning to study at the Royal College of Music in London. I would like to know more about the accommodation options available for international students. Are there any on-campus dormitories or student halls provided by the college? If so, what are the costs, facilities, and application process? Additionally, if I choose to live off-campus, are there any recommended areas or student-friendly neighborhoods near the college? I would also appreciate any information on the average rent prices and the best ways to find suitable accommodation in London. If any current or former students of the Royal College of Music could share their experiences and advice regarding accommodation, it would be incredibly helpful. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Hello! As an international student at the Royal College of Music (RCM), you have several accommodation options. The RCM offers Prince Consort Village, a student hall in West London with facilities like practice rooms and a gym. Costs vary, so check the RCM website for the latest rates. For off-campus living, areas like South Kensington, Hammersmith, and Fulham are popular. Average rent in these areas ranges from £700 to £1,200 per month for a room in a shared flat. Websites like SpareRoom and Zoopla are useful for finding accommodation. Current students often recommend budgeting for transport and considering proximity to the campus. Joining RCM and London student groups on social media can also provide valuable insights and options. Good luck with your studies!
