LSE Undergraduate Offer Holder Accommodation 2024/25

Hi! I couldn't find a page where offer holders who have firmed talk about accommodations for 2024/25 and answer any questions since the application for accommodations for LSE is quite confusing. plus I was hoping that we could all connect before arriving :smile:

here's some questions:
- what course are you studying?
- what accommodations are you considering/ have you booked?

hi! I'm studying politics and economics and hope to stay at garden halls or Bankside since I heard that the social scene there is pretty good. i heard that carr saunders is also pretty social but on the small side. :smile:

Hi! I just firmed LSE for Geography BA, leaning towards Bankside aswell, in rlly nice location and the fact that it has its own bar and is catered should make it easier than other halls to socialise and meet people during freshers.

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has successfully booked their accommodation as of yet, I logged in to apply on the hallpad website and it just displayed "Applications are not currently being accepted for the forthcoming academic year" for 2024/25. I'm not really sure what is going on

I just firmed LSE for law yesterday but I'm not sure about next steps. Will LSE send me a link and login details to book accommodation? I was also thinking of going for bankside or passfield

Hey everyone, the LSE accommodation booking site seems to be down and has been like that for a few days! Is anyone else experiencing this too?

hi here is a little list of things about these halls that I made before booking - hope this helps. here is a link that gives more info on the different halls e.g what is near by, 360 room tours, etc: https://www.lse.ac.uk/student-life/accommodation/apply/types-of-contracts-halls-and-rooms

Passfield

•

15 min via public transport/ 25 min walk to LSE

•

not many single ensuites (4 in total hall) so probs already booked

•

have to share a toilet with 20ish people

•

catered - don't have to cook

•

31 week contract - have to move things out of room at xmas & easter - works if you are a home student but very inconvenient if an international student

•

undergrad LSE students only

International

•

40 week contract - no need to move out at xmas & easter - better for int students

•

intercollegiate - students from other unis e.g KCL&UCL

•

catered & selfcatered options

•

19 mins via public transport to LSE/ 19 min walk

•

mixed undergrad & post grad

•

booked through UoL

Bankside (no bias but I did book bankside single ensuite)

•

all ensuites are booked BUT if you book single room you will only have your bathroom with one other person

•

known as most social hall - even on yt vids past students all agree on this

•

catered w/ kitchens on each floor so you can still cook if your craving something

•

can get a mini fridge for your room for only 30 pounds

•

39 week contract - don't have to move out at xmas or easter

•

quiet study place

•

not too far from LSE : 25 min by public transport/ 30 min walk across millennium bridge

•

LSE undergrad students only

Thank you! That rly helps. If u apply with medical conditions that requires an ensuite would it be possible to still book at Bankside? Does anyone have any ideas how this would work?
