The college charges its members a weekly Kitchen Fixed Charge of around £9.

After being offered a place at King's, students are invited to fill in a form to request accommodation, in early August. Once your request is received, your accommodation is allocated by the College Accommodation Officer as soon as the University Graduate Admissions office confirms your place, and you have met all conditions of entry. You will be given an opportunity to request a room at the lower end of the rent scale; however this cannot be guaranteed and will be subject to availability. It is not normally possible to specify which building you wish to live in, although the Accommodation Officer will also take into account any students with special accommodation needs (such as disabled access). Please note, because the numbers of graduates requiring accommodation each year can fluctuate, there is normally a deadline in late-August by which you must request accommodation and have your place confirmed. Advance notice of this deadline is provided from year to year. If your place is confirmed only after the deadline (or you request accommodation only after this deadline), we cannot guarantee that we will have accommodation available.

Assuming that both you request accommodation and have your place confirmed in advance of the deadline, then you should expect to be informed of the room you have been allocated, and of its rental charge, in early- to mid-September. Unfortunately it is not possible for this information to be distributed earlier, since rooms cannot be allocated until places are confirmed, and places are not confirmed until late August.
