UCL law offer holders

So I've seen a lot of threads on here for law applicants in general and UCL applicants but I wanted one to just talk to other law offer holders specifically for UCL. It doesn't matter if you've firmed it or you're still considering other options etc. It would just be cool to know what stages everyone is at and give and receive help or encouragement or whatever.

Firming isn't a prerequisite because you apply for accommodation at your insurance too :biggrin: and they didn't ask me whether I'd firmed so I'm assuming it's chill with them

Haha Thanks. I also had no idea we could apply for accommodation before firming. I applied to King's too! You can apply for a scholarship before firming? See this is helping me already :colondollar:

Yep, you apply for the scholarship before 29th March. They'll let you know whether you got one near the April, and if you do you need to firm King's to still be eligible for it :smile:

Yeah, I can be arsed either (Warwick's my insurance too). To be fair, it wouldn't be too bad to find accommodation in Warwick, it's a total nightmare if you've insured a London university and haven't applied for accommodation. I hate thinking about failing to get into my first choice :frown:

Weird. I'm insuring Warwick too but I haven't heard back yet. Its been a long wait. I'm not too sure if I should really bother with accommodation.

Thanks that was really helpful. I've just checked it out. I'm not sure how I feel about the essay. It seems sort of intimidating but at the same time I think I can get creative with it. How did you find it? By the way law and Hispanic law sounds awesome but hard. From what you know about UCL and KCL which do you prefer?

No worries :smile: Oh god, I really don't want to do the essay. It's gotten to the point now that A levels have completely fried my brain and I can't even remember why I wanted to do Law or what I want to do with the future, I just want to move out of here! It is quite an interesting topic though, I wish I'd done it earlier when I had more time :/

I found out that in Second Year of Hispanic Law, 50% of your module is a 5000 word Spanish essay on Spanish Constitutional Law. Just why.

I really liked KCL on the open day, their tutors are really fantastic people and the new Somerset House campus is really, really beautiful. On the flipside, I haven't had much of a chance to see UCL Laws properly (open day in a couple of weeks!) but it's got the year in Spain, and the edge in terms of career prospects. Plus its Law Society is AMAZING. So I'd probably firm UCL (I've got like 0% chance of getting the scholarship anyway).

How about you? Have you been to a post-offer day to either of them? xx

What kind of accommodation are you going for?

Yayyy :biggrin: For my course it's even going to be 2 years, so that's so exciting :biggrin: Aww you'll be fine :smile: German is my first language, but I'm still a bit scared to study Law in general :smile: I'm sure I'll really enjoy it but it will be so challenging!
I applied for self-catered, how about you?

Hi! You seem to have everything under control. Out of interest what accommodation did you apply for and why?

I applied for self-catered because I think it is much more flexible than catered :smile: You won't have to stick to meal times which for me seems to be a real plus :smile: But of course everyone is different :biggrin:
(Now I'll only have to improve my cooking skills :colondollar:)
