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.
York Law School offers a very unique course which contrasts that to every in the country. The experience I have gathered from having interviews and negotiations as an active part of my course is particularly notable. Moreover, the study space is new and well-furnished. It is comfortable and perfect for get togethers with other students.

Good university where you can get value for money. Assessments based on proposing solutions to problems faced by real-life organisations using business models. Teacher to student interaction is high and encouraged. I would recommend the University to anyone who wants to obtain a highly regarded graduate degree at an affordable cost
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.
