Student Stories: A Day in the Life at UAL Halls

Inside UAL halls as told by students

Ever wondered what a day in UAL halls actually looks like?

We asked students living across our halls to show you by filming videos of their days. From shared kitchen breakfasts and lecture dashes to canteen lunches and evenings spent gaming or watching films with flatmates, take a look at what student life looks like in UAL halls.
