Hi Guys,

Congrats to everybody. Did any of you hear back about scholarships? (I'm quite nervous about that, becase without any help I might struggle to join the programme.

Thanks!

I'm also worried about the scholarship issue, but from what I read in the site it's still another couple of weeks before they announce them.

Is anyone else starting to think about budgets? I don't know if I will get a scholarship - lots of what I read seems to indicate that LBS doesn't offer a lot of them. Here is a link I found in a previous thread that might be useful: https://blog.admissions.london.edu/wp-c ... living.jpg

In my interview, the alum talked about finding accommodation during the first week and getting roommates. Although I thought my days of roommates were behind me I certainly will do it for the right location and price. Living centrally usually means simpler access to everything, although London is very well connected by the underground. I am very interested in talking to current students at the admit weekend about this topic.

Does anyone have any idea how the process will go forward for internationals? Is there any advantages to sending the deposit before Jan 11 deadline (i.e., the background check starts early for you)?

Related to prev. point, is there a background check? If yes, how is the scope? When should we apply for the visa?

lpetroski · Answer

UKBA site says that the visa can take up to 3 months to be issued - check out this site: https://www.gov.uk/tier-4-general-visa As for living -- I DEFINITELY recommend living as centrally as possible - or at least with easy access to Baker Street Station. Whatever you save in costs from living farther away, you might end up paying in transportation - check out https://tfl.gov.uk/ for an idea of costs.

Hi folks,

See you next weekend! Australian M/26 in oil and gas based in Scotland.

As an ex-Londoner, I agree with lpetroski - live in Zone 1 or near the campus.

Hi Guys,

Sorry to go back on the same topic, I was just wondering whether anybody has received any news about scholarships. I have mixed information (on the official email they say by the 15th of this month, but by personal email comunication they said 2 weeks after the admission notification...so basically yesterday).
