Who'll be doing Law at King's in 2006?

Hiya Ant,

I'm starting this September (or rather I really hope I will be!)

I think pretty much all of the accomodation at King's is expensive - it's London. You get very little value for money generally, but for me the location of SS Apts makes the cost a little easier to bear.

I don't think King's is full of Tories - I've never even heard that stereotype before, and I didn't get that impression the three times I've been to King's. I know that there is quite a high proportion of non-state school students, but this doesn't go hand in hand with being Tory!

Out of 17,000 students, the majority aren't going to be rich, and the majority DO survive. We get slightly higher loans - and having to manage money carefully should be good practice for life generally. I don't think many students across the whole country could claim to be 'rich' - you just make the most of what you have. It's all part of the Uni experience I reckon.

Of course most people don't get firsts in the finals! What would the point be in the concept of a first if lots of students got it?! I think King's is known for being relatively stingy with firsts - I've heard a past student say that one year only two people in the entire year were awarded firsts - this is less than 1% of the cohort! But, in my opinion, it's just a greater incentive to work your ass off for that damn first.

And the whole terrorism issue - of course it's worrying, but there's not much we can do about it. Manchester could equally be a target. Might as well just take each day as it comes.

Oh, and your comment about hating Tory people... it might be a good idea to not be that blatant (at least when making sweeping statments without backing them up) - there are LOTS of people on TSR who are also unbeaten debaters - such as me!

Anyway, hope you get the grades, might see you in 2006! x

I like this guy! hehe!

I hate tories, and WILL beat you at a debate

Haha xheers, i like thee too for your mixture of flattery, with a dash of daring.You would'nt out- debate me, ever! Gimme a topic, and when i can be arsed i'll do it over!

How about something simpler and divisive.

Euthanasia...right or wrong?

Im such a badass Ill let you decide which side you wanna take

Hehe cheers for the reply.Yeh maybe i shouldnt be so blaant ans sure of myself- but in my experience not many people beat me in debates.Although, i get slated for the analogies i often use!Thanks for the info, it reassures me a wee bit, and yeh, good advice about the terrorism thing. I dnt want to have to bring a gas mask and chainmail suits with me!and good luck with ur exams.I have them all over the next 2 weeks and am crapping myself- especially about the English exams

Not all Tories are bad See, for example, One Nation Conservatism

If I remember correctly from my interview, the Conservative Party has most members compared to all others at King's. Indeed, Labour and the Lib Dems had so few that their societies closed for 2004/5! (as I said - if I remember correctly...).

Lauren, what will you do with your political soc?

Conservative Soc, a branch of the Tory's Conservative Future youth arm, just go drinking and date-hunting in packs. Effective, but not quite, er what's the word, civil?

What will you do? And to make sure this is relevant... make sure your proposal is legal :-P

Well I'll be starting the LibDemSoc back up!

Hey, it's Ant, aka Cottonmouth (after my favorito film character EVER), and i just want to know who else will be starting law at kings in 2006.I will be, providing i get my 2 as n a b.Who is there at the moment, doing law, and what is it like.Also, i really want to get in stamford st, cus the location is easiest for lazy, chronically late me, but ive heard the rooms are so small people die of oxygen starvation during the night. Are they worth the money? And is it true King's is full of Tories? And is it true that unless you're really rich you'll end up hustling on the streets before the first term is over? And is it true that most people don't get firsts in the finals? Sorry about the 20 questions, but i'm really curious, as it is my firm choice. And to the people there now, does it live up to it's reputation? And is anyone else worried that the college is practically on the centre of the X that terrorist bombers are aiming for?
Oh and i might aswell introduce myself now because since finding this website, ive been on nearly every day, it's great. Im Ant, as i said earlier, 18, doing law after my gap year, cool guy, vice president of my 6th form, very opinionated, no-one can beat me in debates, i can't stand the conservative party, they make me wanna throw up.If people want pix, go to www.faceparty.com/sstush, i am not very comp-orientated so cnt get pictures up on here for sum reason.

*raise hand* im in

Yay! 2 members... we're on our way up in the world.
