Settling into LSE...how is it? Okay I'm going to stop
What's up frineds? My name's Constanza and as you can see my bed is not made
because I am not about that life. Okay...hold on a second...
So my name's Constanza, I'm from the States. I'm a General Course student so as you
may have been able to tell from my accent I am American but I'm gonna
show you what it's like to live in London and...you know what let's just roll
the clip and you'll see what I mean.
The garden here, it's really nice and cozy as well. Great weather out here.
This is a really nice place.
You know how everyone says that London is really grey and rainy but I mean like...
check out this weather, it's all blue skies. Actually it's really
cold but we're going to we're going to work with this, we're going to make the best of it
How are you guys liking Passfield Hall? It's so good, it's so much better than all the other ones.
Ping pong table - so much fun. Foosball table, piano. Good things.
So I think this part is pretty cool for LSE students that you know when
I'm walking to class... we see this guy's house.
So this is where he lived
How cool is that, right?
So I was editing this video and I realize that I
probably didn't explain what the General Course is.
So the General Course is a study abroad program for one year
and that means that you can come from any university, anywhere in the world so for example I'm coming from
the States and I do a year here abroad and what's cool by the general course unlike
the rest of the departments (other undergraduates here at LSE) is that you can take classes from
any department, any major as you want. For example, here if I were in the Economics Department I
could only take economic related classes, or if I were PPE it could only take like
the classes in the PPE module.
As part of the General Course I can take classes in any department I want
but you do get a home department.
My home department is International Relations which means that I can go to all their events,
they're the department that I answer to.
That's where the Dean comes from as well.
I'm taking an Economic History class, I'm taking a language,
I'm taking my IR. Basically I can take classes from like all
over the spectrum so it's a really great thing to have to get a sense of the British school system
without being tied down to one or two very distinct majors.
