The rooms on any University campus are pretty much teeny and I'm sorry to say that the standard room size in halls at the University of Westminster is no different, unless you wanna be a bit of a snob and pay extra for premium... the offer is there for you to decide. So your bedroom space is small, your wardbrobe is small and the bathroom is ridiculously small. I suppose if you wake up at 9.45 and your lecture starts at 10 you know you can pee, shower and brush your teeth at the same time, although that takes a lot of talent so you're probably just going to have to face being late.
Size leads to multiple problems including MESS. You have to be able to keep ontop of a routine when you move out of your family home and into your own pad (or box in this case) because living in mess can effect your mood and concentration on all of that coursework your doing the day before the deadline. I know we're students and we're allowed to be messy at this stage of life but it's still a pain.. and we don't want additional pains ontop of having to get up for 10o'clock lectures after getting in at 5. So never let your bedroom reach this level of mess. Ever. It's for the best
Lack of space also means communal kitchens! I suppose this isn't too bad though because they are pretty big at the University of Westminster so that means you can have halls party's in your kitchens.. which is always fun.. but then that means cleaning up the next day. This is where the problems start. NOONE WANTS TO CLEAN. You would think that when someone eats off of a plate they would clean their own mess up after, instead they dont and one plate becomes 5. Then theres a halls party and stinky drinks get spilt, a few plates smashed which is good I guess because then you don't have to wash that one up, but crap goes all over the floor. This pills up and up until it looks like this:
...so take my advie and clean up after yourself!!
Halls is small but the sense of being part of a community is super BIG and it doesn't get any better than that. Living in dirt and mess wouldn't bother you at all because you have all of your friends around you and that's whats most important. This is starting to sound all soopy and lovey dovey but it's true! Friends make everything seem alright, especially the friends that you have the chance to make at the Univeristy of Westminster... I'm pretty certain the harrow campus has the nicest people of them all aswell. They're all arty, creative freaks, but the loveliest friends ever.
CHLOE.
