The Official LSE Accommodation Thread

Yeah, that's what I read, but then upon reading some of last year's threads, some people got their accommodation confirmed in April...before the deadline for applying?

Quoting from another poster.

'The admissions policy for halls of residence is based on a lottery. Before you apply, they pick certain numbers that will get in and others that won't. Your application will come in and if you get lucky, the number you're assigned matches a winning place. Thus, it makes absolutely no difference when you apply, even though some people are getting their places confirmed before you've even sent off your application.'

Be nice to get a place before I leave the UK

Have no idea what to choose. Only priorities are not sharing a toilet with 10 others and good social life. Hopefully these arent mutually exclusive.

Unfortunately they are mutually exclusive because as most people know 99% of socialising at the LSE occurs within the bathroom or around the toilet area.

Which of the accommodation contains an en suite?

Bankside have the most en-suite I think.

Question: if you don't get an en suite @ Rosebery, how many people do you have to share a toilet with?

I lost the URL lSE sent me for accommodation. Can someone send it to me!

Thank you so much who ever posted those pictures

Hi, Economics, No, because its true :P

That picture of the Rosebery room looks shocking lol. My one is much nicer and once you get a few photos and pictures up it's like a little home away from home.

Actually I believe Rosebery is getting completely re-done over the summer so the rooms will be nice and modern for the new freshers. And that lottery system is ********, everyone I know who applied early and put rosebery as their first choice got it.

I think I share 2 toilets and a shower with like 5 other peeps but its not an issue for me really.
