Studying in London

[fab_fifties_fille]

I think (from something I've read recently) the cost for an international student in a UK university is 10,000 GBP per year...and it's something like 23,000 GBP per year to study in the US even if that's where you're from. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thats without living costs thats just the course fees I think.

Does any of you know about a good journalism school in London? I know there's probably lots, but I want to find the best

^Thnx, I have wondered that because I cant afford Parsons so I'm thinking FIT or Pratt. But I really wished I lived in the UK or in a country thats a member of the EU, because admission is so much lower (I'm coming from the states.) Also, on the website it said there was no financial aid available to foreigners .

If you want to come to CSM I can tell you for a fact you can get about $35,000 a year in financial aid...I know because they offered it to me! (I am also an American, and that aid is from the USA, not the UK)

I don't know if this is depenadant on grades or what have you, but don't give up!

^ are you at CSM sprigged?

^Thankyou so much, for letting me know !! If you dont mind me asking, Do you know why you got the financial aid? If it was dependant on grades or anything, I would definetly be eligible. Thankyou!

I am at LCF, which is the same University as CSM (same financial office)

I think the aid was based on asking to be honest. Actually they do a huge amount of work for you. I can tell you based on me, that it is not needs based, but I did have straight As in the states. Then again, I was never asked how much money I have or about my grades.

I would advise you to email them- Honestly, they are the nicest people in the world, and very happy to help.

i think its the hardship fund where they ask you about how much money you and your parents are, i think through that you can get an extra £8,000 or something

I can't get a study permit

If the aid is from the US and not the UK it wouldn't be a harship fund, it would be through FAFSA or something like that. Any of those institutions. Sprigged, what are you studying at LCF?

I'm going to Camberwell to do an Art Foundation course in September. I've only been to London once and was just wondering what it's like to live around Camberwell, what the college is like, what the course is like? I've also heard that Camberwell is quite a rough place....is that true?
any response would be really helpful.

 

[Alexandra8715]

please someone reply?

 

[VICTIM]

i personally dont like camberwell, the college or the place, the nearest tube is oval and then its like another 15 mins on the bus

 

[Deleted member 82231]

Camberwell is scary in parts, ok in parts, just like many places. I knew people who went, they all seemed to like the school itself.

taking an arts degree in london, accomodation

well hello
i am interested in taking an arts based degree at one of the arts institutes in london(lcc ideally) and i'm in a pickle about the accomadation
i already live in london and so am unsure whether i will get housed in the halls of residence or told to stay living at home(which i really dont want to do)

does anyone know about housing for students already living in london?


thanks.

 

[VICTIM]

if you already live in london you wont be able to get into the student halls right away, they're allways full but after a couple of months people move and and stuff so you could probably try then

^however, flat prices are a loot cheaper

fashion colleges in UK requires A-levels.Can somebody explain me what A level is

 

[Meg]

eek. I don't know why everyone is hatin' on camberwell. I live in East dulwich which is AMAZING. I love that area of SE london. It has a lot of character. No, camberwell is not perfect and definately still has rough areas but there are areas that are REALLY nice. I also think the lack of tube is nice because it feels a bit more seperate. If you want to live in a nice area live in around denmark hill/east dulwich. Erin O'Connor has a georgian home in camberwell and there are also a lot of comics who live in camberwell/dulwich. It's a great place to live and study.
