The Official LSE Accommodation Thread

Yeah, I'd heard that, which is amazing for a central London uni, but probably because LSE is such a small institution

I was really asking because I'd heard that if you're considered a 'London resident' you get last dibs on a place, and I get the horrible feeling that I'm unlikely to nab a room in Bankside or High Holborn I was wondering whether I'd be considered a London resident and would be better off abandoning hope of living in any of my preferred halls?

I may just ring the admissions office once the UCAS deadline is good and gone

what for halls? They havnt even opened yet!?!?

nononono, the UCAS deadline is nothing to do with the LSE accommodation deadline. I was definitely talking about the former!

1. Hi, is it possible for 1st year students to move out after the 1st term (Christmas holidays) from their halls?

I've heard it is possible if you find a replacement.

2. Also, I looked through the thread and the website, but I dont understand how many people you share a bathroom with if you get a single at High Holborn. I understand that the shared rooms are ensuite, so it is a bathroom between 2 people.


Thanks! (quote me if you reply)

1. Not a clue

2. You're in flats of 4-5 people, so you actually share your kitchen and bathroom with all of your flatmates

Believe they have yet to open up, I've been checking this site daily:

i have no idea what accomodation to apply for! i am looking for a good social scene really, preferably with self catering but i don't mind sharing a room, looking more for lively!! whatcha reckon?

High Holborn it is.


If you're willing to sacrifice self-catered for an even better social scene though, apparently Rosebery is far and away the best hall socially...

so you think high holborn or roseberry? which one?

has it opened up yet?

does anybody have an advice/past experience with sharing a room? and also having people up to stay if sharing a room?
