I got an unconditional and took it. I'm not really looking for a uni with a social life. I went to Reading last year and went out maybe 10 times over the space of 6 months. I already live in London and know what I like to do and where I like to go in terms of clubbing and stuff but generally speaking thats not really something I consider too much.
Internationals don't bother me either, in halls at Reading there was a lack of interacting between the internationals and the homes. I personally really enjoyed talking to the internationals and made a lot of great friends from all over the world.
To make the most of a degree you really need to know what you want to get out of it and go to the institution that will help you get there. I've been to a strongly academic uni with a vibrant social life and I didn't like it. More than anything I just missed London.
Sure I was a little bit phased by all these negative reviews of LM but at the end of the day, I'm not worried. I'm actually really looking forward to it
