LSE Open Day

HAHA the speaker said don't believe everything you hear on student room about "lse students having a bad social life" and "LSE being GCSE nazis"!

And she also said you need further maths for economics, which ruled out a lot of people in the audience already!

Really? I didn't really like it..

I got rained on and I didn't really like the accommodation.

The course I looked at was really interesting though!

Which accommodation did you visit? High Holborn or Bankside?

I thought the buildings, course structure, location was good.

Yeah I got rained on to lol.

I didn't look at accommodation, only some courses but it seems expensive . IIRC £250 per week for the best perceived accommodation seems hefty.

Yeah same

High Holborn.. I was appalled tbh. It was ridiculously expensive for what you get..





And I didn't think I'd need my umbrella - so I didn't bring it

It was ridiculously expensive and the facilities weren't great. Comparing the prices to other universities it was really bad..

Fortunately it was raining when I was in most of the lectures apart from the last one where they were talking about how to apply..

Yeah that's true too.

Oh, I didn't go to that. When the hail started I ran straight to Holborn Underground so I could get home.

Do you think you'll apply?

If I get the grades then yeah I will. Yourself?

It seems more competitive than I initially thought so.

Lol, I had to take the underground too which packed up quite quickly :P

I'm not sure.. Probs as some kind of insurance because they don't interview, but I already live in London and I'm not sure I want to go to university here.

I just managed to miss rush hour, so got lucky

Oh right yeah. Do you think you will apply to Oxbridge then?

And yeah, it weren't too bad to be fair

I think so.. Political Sciences at Cambridge is what I'm thinking about now. I just need one more 7 at HL though I'm getting them all at SL, but Cambridge want 7 7 6..

Oh, I do IB..

Do you think you will? And what will you study?

Yeah haha.

When they were talking about fm for econ, were they indicating that they desire the full A2 or is AS acceptable.

What course are you looking at?

I was looking at economics. She said AS further maths is defo required, while A2 FM is recommended if possible.

She continually stressed how important it was that you like maths!
