People who have firmed, what accommodation are you all looking at? :smile:

to be honest i'm pretty unsure and confused! leaning toward en-suite at the moment but from what I've read on here shared isn't as bad as I thought it would be! what about you?

Yea i suppose it all depends on how much of a student loan you want haha :P Im looking at sherbourne or lakeside because I like modern accommodation but the prices have gone up a fair bit from last year :/ also im looking for 39 weeks rather than 30 weeks so jm and av and some others are out of the equation :smile:

Ah cool! Yea they say its a 20 min walk, i bet its 10 as i walk quick too :P hahaha are you short? :P oh right, i still really need a 39 week let as family may not be home at easter and christmas holidays, or at least some of it so i cant get my stuff home :smile:

To be honest they open AV and JM on the open days and i didnt really like them much, they were a bit old if you know what i mean? Just had that slightly colder feel to them than a more modern place would have :smile:

Yeahh exactly! and it'll be good exercise (i'll end up eating my own words with that one lol). And yep 5ft2 and a tiny little bit! Ahh right! 39 week would be great for you then! And i know what you mean jm&av are now more expensive than sherbourne too :/

Waiting on LSE but I've got Warwick.

If it came to it, I really don't know who I'd choose.

It comes down to London being incredible vs LSE's social life being ****, LSE being more reputable internationally, but one would have less opportunities at LSE to fill out your own CV, imo, and Warwick is cheaper.

Can you really say no to 'LSE' being written on your CV?

Hah yeh thats true. but i made my decision for now and im rejecting LSE for Warwick. Purely because the accommodation is too expensive. I live in london... 40 mins away by underground and living in Halls seem a waste of money. I hate to live at home, miss out on all the social stuff- itll be like going to school for another 3 years which is fkd up. I have the balls to reject lse though, i know that many people would choose lse over warwick just because of the reputation. Warwick is a heck of a lot cheaper and its just as good but not internationally obvs.

I work as a Warwick Student Ambassador, and recently met with a number of potential students, and there were several who were in fact turning down offers from LSE, and firming Warwick in order to have the Campus/Student experience, which one cannot properly get at a London Uni.

One thing to bear in mind is that LSE is definitely more selective. 52% of Warwick applicants get offers, compared to 11% of LSE's.

So, you're considering Sherbourne then? It does look lovely but I must admit that the price puts me off a little. Then there's the fact that because it's ensuite, it's really popular so you'd have less of a chance getting placed there... At the moment I'm thinking Rootes or Westwood, to be honest.
