[QUOTE="Nicktim, post: 74715, member: 6132"] Hi, When do you start the course? If it's being sponsored by your firm then you probably won't be concerned by the difference in tuition fees for studying in London but the course generally costs more in London and as a current BPP Waterloo student I haven't actually visited the campus at all since starting in Sept 2020 (the course ends in 2 weeks). I've enquired if the LPC starting in August 2021 will be taught in person and they have understandably not given any assurances. I get the feeling that social distancing will be pretty difficult in the BPP London campuses (800+ London PGDL students and I don't believe the building is huge) so I don't imagine they'll be in a great rush to return to full in-person teaching until it's clear that restrictions are lifted long-term. Might also be worth considering that your firm might make you study the LPC in London so if you've done the PGDL here and had time to get used to the city and find a place to live then it won't be as daunting as moving here later when you're starting the LPC or your training contract. On the down side I can confirm that London is more expensive than the other cities you've mentioned... having said that rental prices are lower than usual at the moment (in many parts of the city anyway) due to lower demand so if you move here in the next few months you might be able to find a decent place for a better price than you would if you waited until next year to move here.
