[QUOTE="OH, post: 68663, member: 1150"] No worries. I grew up here so can't comment on the 'experience' so much given I already knew every inch of the city. My secondary school was literally a few minutes walk from BPP. However, as someone who has also lived in London for several years/had friends on the LPC there, the main difference here is that the cohort (this year anyway) is far smaller. For context there's 140ish of us v over 800 in London. So forming real relationships with your teachers has been a lot easier, even online. I am self-funding and was scared of the comments I'd heard about London students being cliquey, whereas here there's no distinction and my group is a mix of DWF/Eversheds/Self-funders with our WhatsApp group very active despite never having met any of them in person. The BPP building itself is in on the border of Manchester University's main campus so there's lots of cheap bars/food around to hang out with course mates, in normal times. Re online, I am probably in the minority but I found the shift fairly easy to online as the LPC doesn't really require full attention, it's only the social element that's lost. Also generally everything is just easier here in my view; for example I pay 70% less than London for a gym that is far, far nicer and it is refreshing, even when social distancing is in place, to have strangers start conversations with you, as opposed to pushing you on the tube. I am also very glad I am spending lockdown here, with the massive amounts of empty green space, as opposed to in Clapham or similar. The things I preferred about London don't exist during the current restrictions and frankly I doubt they'll return this year. DM me if you have something more specific in mind. [/QUOTE]
