Heyyyyy guysss, just got accepted for the MSC IR and Politics for part time, any groups?

Hello!

Like many international students, I'm having a hard time getting in contact with the administration at SOAS, so I figured I'd drop a question here and see if anyone could help me out...

I was accepted to study an MA at the start of the month. Before I pay big nonrefundable money for my CAS, I want to make sure that the university will process the paperwork for my FAFSA loan in time for me to use it for part of the financial requirement for my visa. Can any other Americans studying at SOAS let me know how quickly the school processed your FAFSA application?

Hi! I’m an incoming postgrad student and I’m wondering where all or most of the postgrads coming this September will be staying as I want to make sure I don’t end up in an exclusive undergrads accommodation! If anyone has already booked their accommodation I would love to hear where or what area they are staying in!

Hi guys, I opted out of doing a dissertation when we were applying for third year modules a few months back, as it was explained to me that opting out of a dissertation would NOT affect my degree’s honours.

Apparently this was not the case, but I only have informal confirmation of that from friends that were also misinformed, or simply not told at all, and SOAS and the website are as unhelpful as always.

If not doing a dissertation for Social Anthropology BA results in no honours, can someone explain how I reapply for a dissertation instead?

Many thanks.
