Destination LSE events are intended to prepare you for life in London and welcome you into the LSE community. Each event is designed to help you answer a simple question about your next steps, or what to expect from LSE. The series will cover topics including where to find accommodation, budgeting, career development, joining Students' Union clubs and societies, finding part-time jobs, the learning support available to you on campus, and what to expect from your first weeks at the School.

Though each event will vary in size and structure, you should expect:

To have the chance to put your questions about LSE, London and the UK to people who have already been through the experience of studying at LSE.
To get practical tips on how you can make the most of your first weeks and months at the School.
