[QUOTE="Alison C, post: 82568, member: 3943"] I love London and have been there for years - but it is a crazily expensive city! I love the architecture (free), the transport (reasonable, though it does rack up), the parks (free), the shopping (definitely not free), the museums (some free), the restaurants (generally pricier than out of town), and the drive, energy, creativity and resilience of so many of the people I've made there. I don't love the dirtiness, the council tax, the heat when I have no garden, or the way you so easily sink your cash on goodness knows what. London is glorious but it isn't quite itself at the moment... I haven't done the LPC yet, but I gather it's pretty full-on and definitely not quite like undergraduate life in terms of relationship-building. The time change does sound rather antisocial, but given the state of things, if you were able to plan to complete your LPC in your home country, and make a massive effort at the beginning of the course to ensure you were finding online work buddies (from your firm and from your classes) then you would avoid debt at a time when the payoff may not be quite in place. Starting a new job with hefty financial challenges might be something you won't always be able to avoid, whereas right now it's almost expected that online/hybrid is here for a while. But I'd be very interested to hear from other people who know from the front line. By the way, I love a library and haven't fully adjusted to online materials (I like actual books!) so I might be talking rubbish. Though you can buy a lot of books for the price of a year's rent in London. Good luck with your choice, and with the course! [/QUOTE]
