I'm currently year 12 applying to unis for law this year, and I recently had a huge change of heart about which unis I wanted to apply to, like I changed 4/5 of my potential options. Oxford has always been the dream course for me, but I'd been adamant on staying away from london. now, for various reasons, london really appeals to me.
1. for personal medical reasons, london has the best access
2. for social reasons, I can find the queer community easily in london, but there will be some diversity in every city
3. for career reasons, I may want to shoot for magic circle or international firms in london
people keep telling me that the costs will be insane and I'm not that well off, so wtf do I do? and I've heard that the unis KCL/UCL/LSE don't have on-site accommodation either. I just feel like I'd be okay to live in a big city, I've never had that experience, and I want to aim HIGH with opportunities.
I'm also writing this post because I'm procrastinating on some homework, but the sentiments here are 100% real.
