r/LSE

Long story short I deferred my offer and didn’t realise I had to cancel by 31st July. Please can anyone let me know if anyone wants LSE accommodation in Rosebury Hall?

Hi everyone,

I no longer require my LSE accommodation for the upcoming academic year because I just secured housing elsewhere through a scholarship. I am looking for someone to take over my contract at Lilian Knowles House.

Here are the details:

• Room Type: Single en-suite room (self-catered)
• Location: 2.9 miles from LSE campus (great transport links)
• Contract Length: 51 weeks
• Rent: £253 per week
• Deposit: £400 (required by management to secure the booking).

This year I am planning to apply Cambridge, LSE, Imperial, UCL and KCL for economics. I am applying with 3A*s achieved (math fmath econ) with 2subjects predicted (physics chem). What will the grade requirement likely come as if I get an offer from these unis?

Anyone got offers from any of these unis with 5Alevels??

Was unable to get an LSE hall so I need to go private.

Some are stupidly expensive (urbanest for £850pw+) and others have really questionable reviews, any good ones near LSE or at least near bus stops / underground that still have space under 350pw?

Thanks all

edit: 1st yr undergrad so can't do graduate halls

Hi all,

I am from india. Have bachelor’s degree from Christ university in BBA (9.06 CGPA) and GMAT 655 FE

I have cleared CFA L1 and worked at Deutsche Bank for 2.5 yrs in a very basic operations role. Trying to pivot into core finance right now.

Should i even apply?? Do i have a chance

Heya everybody,

I got into LSE for this coming academic year, but I pushed my acceptance to 2027/2028- meaning next September imma start my studies there!

I am looking into starting two new societies there. The first is the LSE Southern African Development Community Society (LSE SADC Society) and the second is the LSE Flag Football Society. Does anyone know how to start the application process? As I am doing this from overseas, so the job is now 20x harder lmao.

Blessings to you all!

I’ve received one just wondered if anyone else had too.

My course starts September 14th and I haven’t received my pre CAS email yet. Does anyone know if there is anything I can do? I need enough time for my visa.
(Zoom session slots were unavailable)

Genuine question btw cuz im the only one in my school who believes its the best university for econ in the UK. Everyone around me thinks its mid cuz of its low QS rank

Hi everyone,
I have an unconditional offer for Msc 2026/27. My required degree documents were sent directly to LSE by my institution, and my portal now shows “No action required” for everything. However, it also says “We are still awaiting original copies of key documents”

Does this mean my documents have been received/verified and there’s nothing else I need to do before Pre-CAS? Or should I email Graduate.Documents to confirm?

Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has been through this recently.

I’m an Indian , I have conditional offer letter from LSE. I submitted my transcripts and Ielts score on 4th aug 2026 and got acknowledgement on 6th august. I haven’t heard back since then. I tried knowledge base query and no respone. my course starts on 28th sept 2026 and pre enrolment on 22nd.

Is there anyone with same issue? I’m panicking idk what to do. I wont even have time for visa

Have been checking accom every day and every hour, always the same result.

AS results came in and I was pretty happy. I wanna break into investment banking but I’m fairly sure that my GCSE’s may have messed up any chance of me getting into a top uni. For reference I’m predicted A*- business studies, A- mathematics and an A in economics. My GCSE’s were 866555555 with an 8 in maths 6 in English literature and 6 in physics. I really didn’t take GCSE’s seriously at all and didn’t revise at all for them but I’m happy with the comeback at A level. Have no clue where to apply though with my GCSE’s especially if I want to break into banking. Anyone got any tips/recommendations?

Apologies if this has been asked before, couldn’t find a post on it: I’m thinking of applying to LSE in next year’s admissions cycle, and potentially considering applying for two graduate MSc programmes (both in the politics field, though not both from the named ‘political science’ masters’ degree). I believe it says online that this is possible to do, but is it actually advisable to do so? Could it disadvantage my application as a whole (i.e the risk of coming across undecided?) Thanks.

I’m entering my first year of university at LSE and I had already booked student accommodation with LSE at Sidney Webb. I’ve now received an offer for a private accommodation though for £3000 less than the accom I’ve booked. I don’t know which one to go for because I feel like I’ll make more friends if I stay with the LSE accomodation. However, the private one is much nicer and costs less and I would be staying with people from other London unis. The reviews for Sidney Webb also aren’t that great.

Both accommodations are approximately a 30 minute bus journey.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I only have a few days to decide

Hello all! I just cancelled my accommodation at Robeson House. If anyone is still looking for an accommodations contract, it can be yours!

I am not sure what the turn around time between filing the cancellation form and the posting going live is, but hopefully the link is live soon.

Edit: I forgot to mention the details of the room! It's an ensuite room at £13,244 per year/~£260 per week for 51 weeks.

Yes, I did indeed miss my LSE offer by just one UMS point. I am indeed very devastated as I have worked so hard for it. My condition was to acquire AAA in my a levels and I have got Astar AB instead, thus missing my offer. I am aware that it is the equivalent however LSE is very strict with their conditions.
The solution in my case may seem simple, just to get it remarked but the problem is is that the subject in which I got a B is Art and Design (Fine Art) which is an internally assessed A-level moderated by external moderators (Pearson). The only way I can potentially change my grade is through the service 3 appeal which basically assesses the fairness and critique of the external moderators. In other words, it's something different from marking an individual paper and the process could take up to 35 days because they will have to mark the whole art class (I am not singled out). I have always been an excellent Art student and I firmly believe that I have not been awarded the grade I deserve.
The deadline for appealed grades for LSE is the 4th of September and due to the nature of the service 3 appeal I am likely to miss it (there is no priority marking). I have spoken with LSE multiple times and they have told me that the only way I can get my place back is through the improved appealed grade and that the deadline cannot be extended. I am very stressed out as LSE was my dream and my insurance choice is Queen Mary University of London. I could lose my spot entirely because of one UMS point.
I am also an international student and I have to apply for a student visa which just makes the situation even more difficult as it takes a considerable amount of time to get it.
Has anyone missed an LSE offer and successfully had a grade changed after an appeal?
Has anyone dealt with Pearson Service 3 or a delayed appeal?
Has anyone experienced issues with the LSE appeal deadline?

After receiving my ALevel results, I got into Social Anthropology at LSE. I've now got an offer to do a trip to Mauritius to teach French, and a course in India to do journalism next year. So if possible, I'd like to defer. Would LSE let me do this? The thing is that I got ABB in my alevels, not AAB which was required on the course page, but they let me in anyway. And if I ask them, would they say I'm not suitable? Is it too late to ask to defer? Help!
