TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

[Bah Bah Pink Sheep]

not sure if anyone can really help but to anyone with experience in finding accom for vac schemes in London with a (relatively) limited budget: did anyone stay in student accommodation ? Or do people tend to go for Airbnbs etc. it’s for multiple weeks so hotels are getting extremely expensive

Helooo I’m staying in student accommodation and I’ve done that before too - relatively cheaper option - mine was half the price of a hotel :>>

I know a few people have mentioned applying for the MoJ summer internship. Has anyone had their interview? I have mine tomorrow and was just looking for some guidance.

Have you asked if your firm could put you up/give suggestions? The vac I did didn’t promote that they offer accommodation but when I asked if they had any suggestions as to where to stay they offered to put me up in a hotel!

No harm in asking imo

Surely we can’t ALL BE PFOD?????? Maybe I’m being naive but I’m still hopeful #deluluisthesolulu

Today is the day! Well, maybe. Unless they're waiting until right before the vacation scheme starts so they have a supply of people to step in, in case anyone drops out of a VS lol
