UCL libraries hold more than 1,500,000 books, with over 1,500 workstations. The Main Library is under the dome at Gower Street, while the new Medical Library boasts some of the best medical resources in Europe. There is also a large Science Library, and 12 specialist libraries. Many departments also have collections. UCL students, like all University of London students, can use the main University's Senate House library. There are a quite a few computer areas, but these tend to be in the Libraries. There is some 24 hour access, but not in the main library facilities. The computer facilities are quite up to date and many have flat screen monitors. Some of the new or renovated Halls also have Internet access and there are plans to extend this further. UCL have many sports facilities, but these sometimes come at a price. They own Shenley which is Watford's training ground. The Argentinean national team also played here before playing England. The facilities boast 10 floodlit pitches for football, rugby, cricket, etc. 6 grass tennis courts, and some hard courts. There are also brand new changing rooms, a bar and conference rooms. The Bloomsbury Fitness Centre was refurbished in the summer of 2003 and renamed Bloomsbury Fitness. The membership fee is £120 pa for UCL students, but the facilities are quite good and certainly cheaper than other London health clubs. On the whole, disabled facilities are quite good with ramps and lifts in most places. However, this can depend greatly on the department. Some further changes can be made if required. The University handle counselling with 3 full time advisors and part-time psychiatrists. The Student Union has a Rights and Advice Centre, which can advise on topics like housing, drugs, immigration and finance. There are also a number of welfare groups, like the LGB Society. Parking is very expensive so it is best to take public transport which, despite some complaints, is quick and easy. The Union have also negotiated good deals with London transport for student travel cards etc. The University has recently downsized its retail offering by removing the travel shop and making the copy centre for union business only. However, there is still the well stocked general shop called Bear Necessities and a hairdresser. There is a huge branch of Waterstones nearby, just across the street from ULU. There is also a second hand bookshop on the 3rd floor every Friday. This is particularly good for English, Classics and History students. There is a NatWest Bank on the main college site, as well as a HSBC cash machine. In the Student Union there is a Lloyd’s cash machine. There are branches of every major UK bank within walking distance.
