<p>I lived in Lambeth second year as a transfer and it was a great way to meet people, both roommates and beyond. I suggest looking on student forums or Facebook to see if anyone is trying to give up their spot. Around this time and early summer is a great time to look because current students know that transfers are receiving decisions. I got my spot by going this route and worked out great, and I had numerous friends at the end of the second year try to get out of their spots for third year and easily gave them away.</p>
