The LSE Freshers Chat Thread

can anyone enlighten me on the undergraduate tuition fee payment.

All undergrad are required to fill in the Financial Undertaking Form and choose when to pay their tuition fee. I chose October which is subjected to 1% discount. However, my course starts on the 1st of October. Does it this mean i can pay my tuition fee even after my course starts? This is a bit weird and that's why i need clarification.

For anyone who is interested; Martin Lewis (who runs moneysavingexpert.com) gave a lecture at LSE offering tips about student finance:

He is well annoying. :colonhash:

Funny comment on the YT video: "It says a lot for Britain when someone has to tell students at the London School of ECONOMICS what debt is about." :rofl:

i think the survey is for improving their world ranking.
Even if you assume they care for their beloved applicants, we won't get the benefit as those benefits build up over time rather than instant after filling the survey. Haha!!

Anyway i filled in the survey too.

It won't affect their world ranking, I think you are thinking about the NUS which is only done by students, not applicants.

erm... i think i didn't mention it clearly. I guessed the survey is for them to collect info and improve their overall student's satisfaction(they ask a lot about our satisfactions toward their services). Thus, their world ranking will improve eventually if they take the survey seriously.

What's NUS? :confused:

Sry for asking because this maybe this is a stupid question.

NUS is a student satisfaction survey. The customer service survey won't affect their world ranking although their customer service might improve (which won't affect their world ranking).

Oh.... then NUS is the one i am talking about,lol. Thanks for the explanation.
But still what NUS stands for?? I thought customer=applicants which include student like us. :smile:
