I've got an offer from LSE and its my firm so I've started thinking about things like accommodation.
My dilemma is that I live literally 5-10 minutes away from the Roseberry halls and about 30 minutes away from LSE if I walk it (even quicker by bus - 20mins max.) and I was wondering if there's any point of me moving into accomodation...
The following are the reasons for not moving into accommodation:
For one thing its not really fair on people who really need the accommodation esp. if they are Int. students
I would be living with my parents but I usually have the house to myself, I don't have anything like a curfew and I live really near so won't have to leave an hour earlier than everyone else on a night out
I'm really weird about sharing bathrooms and at home I would have our two bathrooms at my disposal (but this isn't as important)
Social life might be affected
The only reason I can think of for moving into accommodation is so that I will be able to socialise easily and intergrate but I won't be any nearer as I live nearer than some of the Halls.
I have no problem with moving into accommodation but I'm wondering if it will be worth the rent etc.
I know that LSE is quite international and so chances are that most students will be in accommodation and so I'll be the odd one out.
I've also been told that nothing beats accommodation in the first year at least, so as you can see I'm in a bit of a pickle.
Sorry for the incredibly long post but help would be appreciated
