I'll be there too. I live in West London and as soon as LGU send me a student card I'll claim my discount on tube fares. Not particularly looking forward to 6 months of the District Line every day, but beggars can't be choosers.
Depending on the punctuality of the tube I might buy a scooter and then sell it at the end of the course.
You could drive a motorbike from Stanstead every day. Now that would be
and probably more risky than flying!
Cheers
