LSE

For my fisrt year I stayed in Passfield Hall, a 'budget' residence with reasonable prices (for London standards!) and lots of character. It was small, very friendly and close to the university -although American students tended to complain that it was falling to pieces :-) Later on I was forced to move to private accommodation, which is the British version of hell

The LSE summer programme is excellent for udergraduate students, graduate students lookin gto fullfill certain requirements, career people looking for additional credentials or just about anyone who is interested in a rigorous and demanding summer programme that still leaves plenty of time to pursue leisure options. Highly reccomended.

You really cannot ask for more. You will not be living in a palace, but LSE accommodation is very good compared to most university standards. Bankside and High Holborn are especially laudable given that both are within walking distance of the school, and are widely regarded as the best vis-a-vis facilities, cleanliness, proximity to major amenities, and room sizes. LSE accommodation is also quite inexpensive. You will likely pay 100 pounds or more per week, but this is peanuts in comparison to what you would have to pay to live independently in London. Accommodation in London is extremely expensive, and the LSE does a great job in subsidizing student housing.

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.

Primrose Hill is my favorite area in London and the trip to Dublin was amazing!

Everything was a new and very important experience for me. First time away from home, but i loved London life and spirit as well as my academic experience, however hard i had to study. I felt very comfortable even from the beginning and now i fell stronger and more prepared to go out in the real world of job opportunities!
