Personalmente, mi interessa migliorare l'inglese ed approfondire tematiche connesse alla Proprietà Intellettuale.
Un riscontro migliorativo sul lavoro non sempre è garantito, tanto più che in Italia la meritocrazia viene spesso messa da parte.

Hi Parijat mishra ,

From what I gather if one is Oliver the other is Rolland and as such you one is equally well off in choosing one or the other.

In such circumstances whichever choice would be most suitable as you perceive would be the best.
In my view none but you know that.

One thing I can say whatever be the choice amongst these two you will not regret that.
Cheers and all the best

Hi all! I`m Verena and got an offer from UCL, too. I'm from Germany, 24 and just doing my first legal state exam.
I don't know where to live in London...
Have you applied for a room in a student house, or will you search for a private room? Does anyone know whether the student houses are good?
Looking forward to meeting you all!

hi verena, the student accomodation seems to me good but I think that a private house it's more confortable. I don't Know which is the price

Hi!

I am 24 and I am from Riga, Latvia. I also got the offer but I am still having doubts whether to accept it. Most likely I will accept it and then I hope to meet you all in London.
