    Hi!

    It's such an honor to be a part of this thread! I firmed LSE's unconditional offer for International Relations. Anyone else here living in London? It would be great to meet for a cup of coffee or something

    Why CS over Passfield? Just curious
    (I'm deciding between the two for my 3rd choice. Got RB 1st and BS 2nd)

    It was a close call because I liked both halls, but with Passfield a lot of undergraduates have to share either a double, or possibly a triple room, and I'd much prefer a single room

    Nice I don't want to share, so its unlikely I will get Passfield anyway. On my form I specified a single room... so I'm hoping that if there isn't one at Passfield I'll get one in Saunders or Rosebery instead!

    what you interested in doing after?
    seeing as this is the lse firmers thread, no guess as to where most people think you should go!

    You must prefer one course over the other one.

    What you would prefer to study Economics, Politics and international Relations or just solely IR.

    London or a campus university?

    The singles for 31 week range from 138-166pw without ensuite and the singles without ensuite for 40 week range from 180-240pw. However twin ensuite for 31 AND 40 seem to be of similar prices ranging from 115-132pw. So for a single yes its more expensive but for twin not really.

    Bankside, High Holborn and Northumberland are the 40week ones. Bankside being the cheapest and biggest of the three. Its also the only catered one of the three.

    But you can extend your stay at Carr Saunders, Rosebery and Passfield (the 31week halls) to cover easter and xmas breaks if you wanted to... But it'll mean there'll be hardly anyone around the halls.
