London? hope she's rich cause it's very expensive to live there for a student.

My mate has a job putting out prostitute cards in phone boxes for 30 quid an hour as it's the only way he can pay his rent money.  When he first got caught his dean wrote a letter explaining his situation.  The police let him off whenever they catch him now.


My ex will be starting her first year at the Imperial College of London this year.   Her father is rich so she has no worries.

That's not realy a problem here.

Do you know where I could find a list of colleges? She's comming down from Washington state, so don't be too harsh on her accent ;)

Probably the most prestigious London University is not a University its the London School of Economics (LSE)

http://www.lse.ac.uk/

I have to tell you tho that living in London is many times more expensive than living out side it.

Whats her major?

Tilt, she grew up in Japan, and majored in Chemistry (and something else i forgot.. but don't tell her that, or she'll chew my arse). I take it it won't be more expensive than Tokyo... I will give her a hand if the need arrises (sp?).

I take it she's looking for a college with a good reputation.

Thx for the link!

Grun, she probably has a stronger american accent than you :p

LSE is best known for spawning graduates in Business and Politics.

No it will not be any more expensive than Tokyo.

But if your looking for science MA courses then Cambridge is probably the best bet........ particularly if she wants to get into any leading post grad research stuff and push for a doctorate (PhD)

Imperial College (http://www.ic.ac.uk/) is in a nice part of London and is also a very good post-grad school for science subjects, possibly better than Cambridge in some fields.
