What can I do to make sure that I have a good social life at LSE?

So I just got an offer from LSE for Economic History which is the course that I believe I would find most interest in. However, I'm debating going to UCL to study History, Politics, and Economics because I feel as though the social life would be a lot better.

So is there any way that I could make sure that I'd have a fun social life at LSE? At the moment I don't go out clubbing much but I'd like to when I go to London. But it's not even that really, its mostly just that I'm quite outgoing and eager to make friends but I'm scared that most LSE students aren't the same. And also the fact that I have a geordie accent and come from a lower middle class background scares me a little because I don't know how I'd manage to find the right crowd. I don't have anything against poshies or international students but I'm weary of the fact that they might have something against me. The workload doesn't bother me because it is the same as what I did at A level for the most part so I'm sure I'd be able to manage my time. 2-3 hours a day of work is easy for me and 7+ come exam season is fine as well. (this is not me saying that LSE is as easy as A levels, I just did a lot of hours during A levels of poor quality revision because I assumed more hours=better studying without considering the effectiveness of what I was doing for revision)

Based on this, what would be the best accommodation for someone who is not looking to spend more that £8000 a year on it? It would be nice to have an en suite or my own shower but I'm not too fussed really. A comfortable bed is all I need

It might be worth noting that I'm looking at investment banking and consulting as career paths so maybe I'd actually fit in with the classic LSE Jordan Belfort wannabe lol

Any other tips would be really useful. Thanks!

swear most people make these threads to show off their offers


get to uni and then figure out, it ain't that hard bud
