Twin room in Princes Gardens.

During the programme you will stay in our Prince’s Gardens halls of residence in South Kensington. This will allow you to experience what it is like to live away from home during your first year at university and means that you are only a short walk from classes and a range of other campus facilities. 

Accommodation will be offered in mixed-sex clusters, with single sex clusters available if required. Students will stay in a twin room with one other Global Summer School student of the same gender and are only permitted to access the accommodation cluster they have been allocated. 

We require all students to live on-site in our halls of residence for the duration of the Global Summer School programme. The programme has a busy academic and social schedule and we believe that you will get the most out of the experience by living on campus alongside other summer school students.
