I wish I had known...
that I would feel like home so soon!
I didn't expect to like London in any but the social/fun way!
now I know I would love to live there and I would have chosen a longer stay; two courses instead of one... :)

Final comments
take the chance to make it yours! London has so many things to offer, that you should make a plan on what you want to do once there, because otherwise tons of other things come in the way and you are too busy doing other stuff, visiting all the other interesting places but those you had inicially planned to.

Course recommendations
for the summer school, chose whatever you're interested in and do your best in classes!!!
take the opportunity to meet every department / area you'd like to get closer to, LSE's worth it!

Personal comments
If you don't know anyone in London, it's definitely best if you go to Holborn, near to campus and walking distance from EVERYWHERE you'll want to go!
-also, all the summerschool students will be there and meeting them makes your first days there much easier-
