LSE

LSE is not a school for the sports-type. It's a very academic school, and LSE students tend to be very active in politics, both on and off campus. It's a school for activists, really. There are certainly a wealth of sport opportunities, but these are generally outweighed by the wealth of student societies devoted to international relations, the UN, global development issues, et al. World leaders are constantly dropping by, and there are numerous lectures and speeches given by major academics. Add to that London nightlife, and you will have a blast - but there's not a huge campus environment (outside Houghton Street). LSE is an urban university.

LSE doesn't offer any accommodation. There is an accommodation office helping students finding a solution though. It is located in the university and operates every day. It is connected to the London Accommodation network realized by the University of London. Refer to LSE site to learn more!

studying abroad is a great experience on a human and personal point of view. Everybody should leave at least for one year

London is a very expensive place to live. Halls are affordable and also make it easier to get to know other students, etc. My hall of residence is also very central and there is a good mix of students from different countries.
