As you don't support a club, it's never too late to start supporting the Arsenal :colone:

OK I appreciate the help, I'm so far going over the business stuff :s-smilie:

I'll start supporting them when they win this game :wink:

which is looking increasingly likely by the minute...

Yeah you'll be fine, it wasn't as bad as I thought :smile:

tell me how it goes, London Audit?

Wow well done! :smile:

Still nothing, I want a gap year now...

Don't understand why everyone thinks there is such a big gap between UCL and LSE :confused:

in my eyes they are pretty much on par :s-smilie:

I literally just got home from a public LSE lecture by Salmond- the resources and professors are just impossible to rival.
I have friends at both and it seems at UCL they're still doing the A-Level...

Oh really? The application for the thing I told you about should go up next month- I'll give you a heads up :wink:

Finally, someone who doesn't want to live in London! :biggrin:

Haha, I'm bored of how OVERPRICED it is and it's not the sort of university experience I want- call me a loser but I love a good traditional college atmosphere where I can know everyone and do drama and societies etc....
Where you planning on going?

I did not think it would turn out like this. :mad:

We need to scrap a 3-1 here at least- get the ox on

Yh man- London audit- dunno how fine I'll be- it'll be an experience I suppose

It is so overpriced it's unbelievable. £200 a week for a single room :eek:

No no, that's the sort of view that I have too!
At the moment I have offers from LSE and Bristol so it looks like LSE.

A 'good politician'

What's that even meant to mean, it's like a 'good disease' - better than the plague but still nobody wants it :laugh:

Ha I rent a flat with my own double bed walk in wardrobe and TV and kitchen for 150/w in London at the moment.
Halls seem like a rip off.
Well done on LSE- definitely a must over Bristol despite all the cons of London.

Hahahahha
I mean despite what he's arguing he is convincing and amicable and a good negotiator- perfect level between aggressive and interested etc.

But yes- basically better line of work than a doctor in the times of the bubonic plague :L

Are you saying that employment prospects are the same at Bath and UCL excluding Banks e.t.c ?
And surely you could get yourself a placement year whilst as UCL right ?

Not trying to argue with you, it is just that I have offers from both places and I haven't been to any of them so I need other peoples opinions..

UCL economics degree is like top 20 in the world, why does the placement have that big of an influence. You can get plenty of work experience with a UCL degree seeing as your only at uni for 30 weeks long.

Seriously has to be UCL hands down, definitely the more respected degree

UCLs econ degree is the next best thing after Cambridge and LSE in the UK
