Accommodation

How do I find accommodation near ALCHEMEA?

There is a great deal of rentable property with a lot being for short stay residents. Ideally you should sort out your accommodation before starting the course, but during the first week of the course you should have enough free time to go out looking for digs



If due to pressure of time or just the distance you normally live from London is too great you may wish to stay in a youth hostel, B & B or ideally with friends for about a week or so while you check a more long term solution. Possibilities include taking over accommodation from
Ex Alchemea students or deciding to share with fellow students



It is quite easy to find good quality student accommodation. For Diploma and SAC students it is advisable to start looking a month or so before the course start date. We also put students in touch with each other so they can look for a place together.



A good place to start looking is www.email4property.co.uk/islington/estate-agents.htm. This website will allow you to contact all letting agents in the Islington area in one hit. You simply email over what you are looking for and each agency will report back their findings.
