Got an unconditional offer from LSE

Got an unconditional offer from LSE to study law.

Now I got to pick between LSE and UCL (unconditional offer). Not sure which one I will like better. Need to check out both schools. As long as neither one is superweak...then it's cool.

Don't really care about the name brand garbage...just want to go to a place where I can get good legal training and will be able to academically thrive.

Can anyone help this "silly American" with some advice.....

People often think LSE's better coz it's LSE. But LSE may be good for economics and politics and management, but i've heard UCL's Law department is far better then LSE's. I might be off to UCL to study Law aswell. I visited the uni and loved it!
Chears,

Both have excellent law departments imo...

The UK government only subsidies undergraduate courses, and only for UK & EU citizens. Somebody from mumbo-jumbo land would have to pay £10,000 per annum for a bachelor’s degree here.

Speaking of foreigners and their foreign money....I'm from the US myself and I'm going to LSE in October for an MSc. The fees being charged for my particular course are identical to what a UK citizen would pay, and this seems to be the case for quite a few of the MSc programs. It seems odd to me that LSE could get away with making its own citizens pay the same level of fees as a foreign student for any program - after all, I've never paid any taxes in the UK, so one would assume I should be required to pay considerably more for the privelege of enjoying an LSE education. Can anyone explain why this might be? I can't figure it out myself, it certainly doesn't seem right.

haha....thanks....the American Dollar is good...don't worry though, I earned my own money for tuition and I won't be relying on rich parents to support me.

I just turned 22 (Jan)...(went to US university from 17-20 and have been working from 20-present

I'm surprised that UK students pay such low uni tuition. US unis are not cheap at all...you guys are very lucky.

Berkeley2001...are you a UC Berkeley grad? I am from UC Davis ('02)

Yup, I'm a Golden Bear, graduated in 2001 - still work on campus. I like Davis a lot, I spent a summer there during high school and had a great time living in the Tercero dorms. I hope you're prepared for the slight climate difference between Davis and London! I think I'll be OK, as I'm used to fog and gloom, being so close to San Francisco.

Also, I take exception to the assertion that education in the U.S. is particularly expensive, at least as a rule - keep in mind that Berkeley is still $6500 a year for undergrads and less than $8000 for graduates. Pretty reasonable, no? So quality and affordability are not necessarily mutually exclusive concepts in the U.S. higher education system.

Well, I got a good UC education at a good price in terms of U.S. standards....but I'm sure that many U.K. students might view even UC prices as being pretty expensive.

I think it is well worth it...in the end...

It isn't luck. It's Socialism.

Here is what it says on my UCAS online form from LSE.

"Unconditional offer 17 Mar

This offer is valid only on the basis of your having overseas fee status: it may be reassessed if your fee status changes. See also a letter sent by the Institution.

**I'm just wondering if the whole overseas status thing is a major factor in their decision....are they accepting me because I can pay more as an internation student**"

feel like I am being used by LSE...haha but I don't really care
