Broomstick Pilot,
Regarding your comments about accomodation I had no problem getting somewhere to live, I was advised to make plans well in advance regarding somewhere to live, which I did, and one trip to London got me a place 25 mins cycle from the college at a reasonable price.
Alot of the people I have come across have left finding somewhere to live right to the last minute, and as well as having a ridiculous amount of work to do from the course, they find themself shrouded with the pressure of finding somewhere permanent to live and moving from B&B to B&B.
My advice to anyone considering LMU, with respect to finding a place to live would be to plan well in advance.
I agree with the comments about not wanting to spend hours on end on trains and buses, because as everyone knows who has either done the course or is doing the course, it requires you to study for at least 3 - 4 hours a night, every night.
