Myddleton is the postgrad wing of Rosebery hall. Myddleton has bigger kitchens, but the ones in Rosebery wing were recently refurbished. Are you a PG or UG?
It takes around 20 minutes to walk, so I would walk for sure. And it's a pretty safe area but I wouldn't really recommend anyone walks alone at night in any city....

Hi there!
I have accepted an offer for Rosebery hall but they haven't specified whether the offer is for the Rosebery wing or the Myddelton wing. I am a postgrad, and the contract is for 40 weeks - although I had asked for a 31 week contract.
Does that mean that I'm the Myddelton wing? How can I know for sure?
Thanks in advance! :)

Hey folks!!! I hope you're all keeping well. I would appreciate a bit of advise regarding accommodation. I applied for acco in March and was given Commonwealth Hall, as part of the UoL quota. It was not in my first choices at all as I wanted either Northumberland or Grosvenor House. I rejected the offer and they have placed me on a waiting list. I'm extremely keen on getting an LSE accommodation and I have no idea how the system for 'wait-listed' candidates works. When would I be re-considered? I would be grateful for any key inputs from your end. Thank you. :)

why would you do that?

I'm guessing you applied for spring weeks and got none? There were people on LSE Econ who got 5/6 offers and people with none. It varies, the uni alone doesn't guarantee anything.

Your degree is fine, I'd even go as far to say that even if you were at Cambridge or LSE for Economics you'd still get zero offers.

You need to work on other aspects of your application whether it is extra curriculars or commercial awareness or whatever.

Hey,

I just submitted my application form. I put high holborn as my first but all my friends have been saying how bad HH is. I kinda wanna change it now.

Passfield seems really attractive to me in terms of the social aspect and so on. I just wanna ask if it is in a safe area cuz i know it is quite close to camden town. Camden town can be a quite doggy place.

As an international student, i was gonna chose a 40 weeks contract. But I might just stay in the hall for only easter holiday, not christmas. Is it possible for me to stay in Passfield only during Easter? Extend the contract?

Another thing i am awared of is that Passfield does not have liftsss?! I have got quite a lot luggages. Are all the single rooms on the top floors???

thank you so much!!

Why, how difficult is EC102?

oxford hasn't got a big social scene. lse being in london has a good scene but its very expensive

Well, this is going to be a bit of a pessimistic thread (and I don't mean to put any prospective LSE students off). But, I'm in my second year now and I remember the days when I used to LOVE studying for Maths. I used to do hours of work and not even feel as though I was "studying" as I found it that enjoyable. The same applies for Economics. But now, I sit in my maths lectures BORED OUT OF MY MIND! I'm sure the content is interesting but the lectures just make me fall asleep, the teaching is okay (I don't have anything to compare it to, university-wise) and I feel like no one really gives a **** about you, they teach for the sake of teaching, which may be why I'm not interested in Maths anymore and cant be bothered to do homeworks. Is it just me? I took some actuarial modules and I find them so much more interesting, which isn't like me at all as I used to be a micro/calculus/algebra enthusiast! So, is it just me? Is it just LSE? Or is it more the transition to university that changes your taste? My friends at other universities love their subjects even more now. EDIT : it may not be LSE but just the way things are taught at university or how different Maths is at university (abstract) than at A levels. (Ps my enter key doesn't work, hence the lack of paragraphs).

Given that you study at UCL why would you redo a year to study at LSE

As long as you can justify why you're taking something, you should be allowed to. Econ History is quite a popular choice in 1st year, never heard of someone taking just History. Maths/Finance/Languages/Operational Research are generally common options in 2nd/3rd year.

Seen some people take Law options too.

I went from Business Maths and Stats to Maths and Economics - it was very easy since I did all the 1st year Maths and Econ modules. My friend wanted to go from Philosophy and Econ to Maths and Econ - he didn't take all the 1st year modules but they made him a conditional offer (something like he needs 70% in MA100).

Switching into Economics is quite popular - they make conditional offers that you need 70% in Econ B, one of MA100/ST102 and 60% in other modules (I think).

Generally, switching in 1st year is difficult for admin reasons mostly, but switching just before 2nd year is not too bad, but it does in theory depend on the availability in each course.

Switching to a course in the same dept is a lot easier since you only need to talk to 1 person and usually courses within the same dept have a common 1st year.

Hello!

So, the already mentioned masters in LSE have captured my interest!
I'm thinking of applying the following year, and hopefully till then I'll have sorted out which of the three suits me best, even though all three of them look fantastic!

Could any current student of those three masters, give me extra information on them? What are the classes like, what are the professors like etc?

I'd be grateful! Thank you! :)

GCSEs are not the only way used, they're just one of the many things considered. When it comes to one of the most competitive courses at the LSE, such as Economics, the only way of getting in is by having an as close to perfect profile. So while LSE acknowledges that GCSEs aren't everything, how would they distinguish between two applicants who have A*A*A predicted in their A2s, have all As at AS and an excellent PS and recommendation; but one candidate has mostly A*s at GCSE and the other has As and Bs. Why should the applicant with As and Bs at GCSE be preferred when another applicant has the same profile but has had consistently high achievement right from his/her GCSEs. It comes down to that. LSE isn't saying that you're any less brilliant because of slightly less perfect GCSEs scores, it's saying that someone else is even more brilliant than you (on paper).

I have almost same Grades as your!! 1A* 7As 2Bs.
Well Im giving accelerated math which is a pain in a Butt :/.
My main focus on revision is on Physics and Math.
Other than these I have Econ and Psych.

I'm thinkng of applying for LSE 2014 for Econ & Govt. You can't do Management and Econ, can you?
