[QUOTE="morashwan, post: 210405, member: 23386"] I'm due to start the SQE this September and haven't decided whether I should do it in-person or online. Just for some context, I am extremely lucky to have secured a TC and my firm will sponsor fees and provide a maintenance grant. However, I'm not in a position where my family would be able to support any of my additional costs (whether that be travel, accommodation, etc.) and given that London is expensive, I've considered studying for the SQE virtually to save costs and time. During my undergrad, I rarely attended/watched lectures and relied on self-study. I was able to absorb the material better by reading and devising my own study plan, and ultimately ended up graduating with a first. I know, however, the SQE is going to be challenging and I have started to refresh my knowledge of the undergrad material in preparation for September. I also appreciate it would be great to meet my cohort beforehand to make those connections ahead of my TC. But in light of how expensive it is to live in London, and given the fact I would waste a lot of time commuting to and from campus, would it be such a bad idea to study the course remotely? I'd be really interested to hear from those who studied (or are currently studying) remotely and in-person, and any recommendations - thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
