Your room is so cute! Love this :)

[@cindiandrobyn]

claire isabel thank you! 💕

[@ariyannakachaudhary3856]

hi, can you please tell me your exact room and in which building also, the prices. :)

[@cindiandrobyn]

This room type is a Single En-suite Standard located on the 6th floor and the building is Aspire Point. Different rooms have different prices so I will attach a link below to QMUL’s website stating the fees. I hope this helps! 😊 www.qmul.ac.uk/residences/college/fees/

[@iqrasaad6158]

I am applying this September 2021 i wanted to ask if u could let me know from the list provided by uni which type of room is this ? Economy or Single Large En-suite Premium or Single En-suite Premium or Single En-suite Standard ?

[@cindiandrobyn]

This room type is Single En-suite Standard. Good luck! 😊

[@mollyvickersx]

Hey I was thinking of applying here as well, really random question haha does the window have curtains or anything :) thank you xx

[@cindiandrobyn]

Haha good question! But yeah, all bedroom windows have blinds☺️

[@arathisurajshetty3964]

Your room is super cute! 🥰 I was just wondering whether the area where Aspire point is located is safe or not? Is it quite dodgy or is it a safe environment to live in?

[@cindiandrobyn]

Thank you so much!!🥰 Honestly, it is an area where you need to be careful for the most part. I always felt comfortable walking around in the day, even by myself, but I wouldn’t recommend walking alone at night. It is always safer to have someone with you when out in the evening/night time although you can walk alone and be fine, you just have to make sure you’re keeping a close eye on your surroundings and your belongings. I had a friend who told me she went across the street from Aspire Point to quickly grab a coffee around 12pm and she felt like someone was following behind her closely on the way back to Aspire Point. This was during lunchtime when a lot of people were out and about but I have never had any negative encounters on the street outside or around Aspire Point. It is just a matter of you paying attention and being fully aware at all times. I will also mention that around Westfield Shopping Centre there are signs on businesses’ doors warning you to beware of pickpocketers in the area. So again, you just have to be careful and keep an eye on those around you and make sure your belongings are safely stored in your FRONT pockets or where no one can grab them off you. You should be fine as long as you are vigilant! I hope this helps!☺️

[@meowmeowenjoylife]

Thank you for the informative video! May I ask about the shared bathroom? Usually how many people share the bathroom? Just wondering if there could be any shortage when it's morning rush hours, like everyone needs to use the bathroom and go to school.

[@cindiandrobyn]

Wei M As far as I am aware, no one has a shared bathroom. Everyone has their own private bathroom. Perhaps in other student accommodations they may have shared bathroom but not at Aspire Point. I hope this helps! 😊

Love it! I'll be starting Msc Marketing in September too.. yeah. I was offered a spot at Sherren House.... may I ask why you chose Aspire? :) Thanks!

[@cindiandrobyn]

How exciting congrats! 🥳 Sherren House seems to be great but we decided to choose Aspire Point because it just seemed to meet our needs better. It’s not too far from QM and Westfield is just a short walk away. We just feel like the lifestyle at Aspire Point would suit us better and have more to offer. Hope this helps! 😊

@@theasidiropoulos862 Hey! can you tell me how would you rate Sherren House? Is it good?

[@urvashishah1785]

Loved the video! ♥️ I'm an incoming masters student at QMUL. I had 2 questions, it would be great to get an insight from you since you live here. 1. Someone told me it's not particularly safe around, I've been quite worried about that. I'd like to get an insight from you. 2. Would a friend be allowed to stay over in the room occasionally ?

[@urvashishah1785]

I just saw your reply regarding the safety aspect. So please ignore that point.

[@cindiandrobyn]

Thank you and I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 😊 Before COVID, normally you were allowed a guest to stay over 2 times a month I believe. If you have any further questions please feel free to message me on Instagram. I hope this helps! 👍🏼

Thanks toya! 💖

[@bint.turkii]

Hi thank you for the video, is it partial view room or full? Just wondering how the sizes would be

[@cindiandrobyn]

Thank you for watching! This room is on the 6th floor so it offers a partial view and this is an en-suite standard room 😊👍🏼

Hello, I have a question. When I was asked for preferences, I was given the option of Min 2 from max 2. Is it how it should be?

[@fafaasad4895]

Super duper ♥️

[@cindiandrobyn]

Thank you!💕

[@TazmanianBeats]

How does one apply for univeristy accomodation in QMUL? because i accepted the offer and there is no follow-up from the campus

[@cindiandrobyn]

If you have already accepted the offer then I’m assuming you have already applied. You may want to contact QMUL directly via phone call to get your answer. Good luck! 😊

[@ameliashipton2804]

Hi! Are undergrad and postgrads mixed or do they have accommodation that is just for postgrads/MA students? x

[@cindiandrobyn]

Hi 😊 Aspire Point is only for post grad students. I’m not sure how the other student accommodations work but they are probably not mixed.

[@yapengliu1638]

Hi, I may go to lie in the Aspire point. Could you please tell me whether the house has good soundproof because I am easily attacked by the noise

[@cindiandrobyn]

Hi! Aspire Point is NOT soundproof, unfortunately. I could always hear my flatmate’s phone calls and even when she watched movies in her bedroom. I also had a flatmate that lived 2-3 doors down from me and I could hear her playing her piano. So if noise is an issue for you you’ll have to get noise cancelling headphones or maybe talk to the Housing Team and see if they can allocate you a room in a flat that isn’t fully occupied or something. Good luck! 👍🏼

[@yapengliu1638]

@@cindiandrobyn Thanks a lot

[@yapengliu1638]

what about the Sherren House? I wonder which one has good soundproof. In addition, could you hear the computer typing sound? I would appreciate if you can answer my question.

[@cindiandrobyn]

You’re welcome!

[@cindiandrobyn]

I’ve never seen or heard anything about Sherren House, sorry! At Aspire Point you definitely cannot hear anyone else’s keyboard typing. If your flatmates living in the room right next to you are quiet you should be fine living at Aspire Point, in my opinion. Oh yeah, another thing is that you can always hear the main flat door open and close whenever someone enters or leaves the flat and if one of your flatmates has their bedroom window open, when they open and close their bedroom door it WILL slam and the noise is very loud. I suggest that you ask for the room at the end of the hall, that way you will only have one flatmate living beside you and you would be far away from the kitchen. If your flatmates have friends over in the kitchen or are playing music in the kitchen you won’t hear it if you’re all the way down the hall or maybe you could get a studio flat, that way you don’t have any flatmates. I hope this helps!

[@anishapavan5633]

Hey, may I please know what kind of room this is (premium or standard) and what the difference between the two is? Also, can you please provide information regarding the number of people sharing the kitchenette. Would really appreciate a response :)

[@fezo4u]

hi lovely room, ill be rolled on my master in sept 2021, when should i pay for accomodation, in what month before enrolling

[@cindiandrobyn]

Hi! Thank you and congrats on your offer! I received my confirmation email towards the end of July and during that time I also paid the deposit. I think I made my full accommodation payment in September when I arrived at Queen Mary. I found it easier and more straightforward to pay in person, so that’s what I did. Good luck with everything!🤗

[@saanvi7432]

I've heard that there's a graveyard in the center of QMUL, is the student accommodation close to it?

[@cindiandrobyn]

You are correct! There is a graveyard in the centre of QMUL. There are some student accommodation buildings near the graveyard, but they are separated by a building so you can’t see the graveyard from the student accommodation. The other student accommodation buildings on campus are situated further away from the graveyard, so if you don’t want to be living near the graveyard just make sure you choose the accommodation furthest away from it

It depends how you utilize the space in your room. There is space for a small rack where you can dry your clothes next to your window but the space will be tight. There are multiple dryers in both the laundry rooms so you can definitely use those instead of drying your clothes in the sun in your room😊
