Ooooh, I'm applying to do a BA there this year and your the first person i've spoken to even considering it.
Soas does have a great international reputation and rightly so according to what i've heard. It recently came 4th in the country in a renowned annual newspaper report.
Only bad points i have encountered so far is the location of one of the campuses - in Islington quite a bad part of London, however if you're applying to do a postgraduate degree you're likely to be situated at the other campus - Russell Square, which is very nice. However i think the postgrduate accommodation (Paul Robeson?) is next to the other campus. This is very pricey - about £100 p/w, but is because it is in Zone 1.
If you want any other info just ask - I seem to have become quite an expert on Soas in light of having noone else to ask about it!

I'm applying to do BA Economics and Japanese there. It's not my first choice since I prefer the other courses I have applied to but I wouldn't mind since I love the Japanese culture and just have to learn how to speak it soon!

Out of interest, what are your predicted grades? Because I have heard economics is quite hard to get into!

http://www.unofficial-guides.com/guides/soas.html is a good place to start - it's an impartial look at facilities/stats etc.
SOAS is very well respected but it very small - might be worth bearing in mind and if you can afford it visiting the place.
And on looking in the comments section you've already found it.
Have you thought about contacting the students union for more student centred information (the profs anywhere will do their best to sell the place to you).

Here is a good description of the uni in general:

Hope it will be helpful.
