When I move to London in 1992 I paid less for a room in a nurses home in St Pancras Hospital than I paid my mum. And my mums house was not full of student nurses either.
You lived in the nurses quarters in East Wing? (as in the most easterly wing...can't remeber what it was called...North East Building maybe?) I did too for a few weeks!
Mine too. I thought she was joking when I got my first post school job. And then I realised she wasn't. That was a rude awakening
