LSE is a great place to create life-long connections and friends. There's a certain sense of community that is special to the university. The staff are hands-on and approachable. The facilities are modern and well-equipped.
In my first year at the university, I stayed in Polwarth House; the lowest-priced accommodation building available, at £88 per week. I shared a thin hallway, one bathroom and an extra shower room, and a small kitchen with three other students. There was no common room, although the kitchen was enough for all of us to comfortably hang out in. The bedroom was spacious; containing a 3/4 bed and a desk that stretched from the medium-sized wardrobe to the wall. There were more than enough plug sockets, and plenty of space to fit my drying rack and guitar. The sink area was small, but I could always use the one in the shared bathroom if I needed a bigger area. Compared with other similarly-priced accommodations' bedrooms, I feel like I got my money's worth out of it. Everyone in the building was very sociable and friendly, and it was easy to get to my friends' flats from my own. Most of my close friendships were made at flat parties in Polwarth. It is worth saying that it can get pretty noisy on the weekends - and the noise can carry - but any issues can be sorted out by phoning campus security. I found that a good pair of noise-cancelling earbuds was enough. If you are a student looking to save money, and don't mind the occasional party above you, I can't recommend Polwarth enough.
Cranfield University, established in 1946 as the UK's only exclusively postgraduate university, is producing global leaders in technology and management through its world-class expertise, large-scale facilities, and unrivalled industry partnerships. Likes: * Located in the heart of the Oxford-Cambridge Arc in the United Kingdom. * Research facilities and industry collaborations. * Excellent career services. * World-Class Library. * Good student-to-faculty ratio. Dislikes: * Because the campus is located in a village, you will miss some of the entertainment and conveniences of a city, but you will make wonderful friends on campus. * It is not a Russell Group university, despite being a high-caliber institution.

I really enjoyed my time at LCB! I've found that my skills when I entered the work force were much higher than others. I think though there was a big portion missing in recipe development and composition. True- we did learn it through memorizing the recipes, but we really were missing classes on how different ingredients affect the final textures.. how you can change them... etc. That I still am not an expert in .. and I create recipes! Ouf! Also, I don't know if you still do a month of sugar work... but that really wasn't necessary and should be either cut or minimized to just 2 lessons. It's such a niche skill to know that I would have really preferred more technical skills. I loved the old location. The "rumors" I'm getting about the new location are that it's not as good, unfortunately - that i's become more of a money focused/marketing machine. I really hope that this image can be fixed as I love LCB and enjoyed my time there! Oh also - there should be more help for students to get jobs and featuring old students accomplishments - from cookbook launches to new bakeries so that current and old students can support them.
