...which also roasts its students
The College of Law has apologised to its students after boiling them alive during an exam.

Last week it apologised after students sat their Civil Litigation Exam without any heating. In the snow. This week it was the opposite problem: LPC students sitting their Business Law and Practice Exam in Moorgate spent 3.5 hours in sweltering heat. The College sent the following email the next day:



In other words, bring shorts and a T-shirt and drink plenty of water. Now that's worth £14,000 a year...

    How it might look

Some of us are old enough to remember that the old Law Society part II (and part I) had to be sat in Alexandra Palace, at least for students in the south east. This was before the fire and refurbishment. The glass roof had missing panes. There was a choice of February (the only heating was a one bar fire above the invigilator, you had to wear gloves with fingers cut out so that your hand did not freeze but you had sufficient mobility to write - and fountain pens were compulsory) or August (swelteringly hot beneath the glass, and birds flew threw the broken panes, occasionally dropping a 'present' onto a completed script, obliterating a page of work.

OK, and I'm sure otherwise you were doing exams in shoebox in t'middle of road, but were you paying £14,000 for that?

Funny. But I would have thought OXILP closing its LPC suddenly and completely without any evident plan for run-off for students on part time versions is more of a "story", really.

My parents could only afford the City of London Polytechnic course, which was £50 for 16 weeks, but I think that the College of Law course was about £250 for 5 months.

Nothing new then - we regularly froze during our LPC exams at the College of Law in Birmingham as the air conditioning was turned up so high regardless of summer or winter!

In my opinion...

"In the event that the air conditioning has not been fixed in time for tomorrow, the exams will proceed as scheduled"

...should read as...

"In the event that the air conditioning has not been fixed in time for tomorrow you will attend anyway because we really couldn't care how hot you get or how this may adversly affect an exam that is important to your career"

As a student of Bloomsbury I felt like the College really cared about us. The Assessment & Learning Support Manager kept us informed what was happening at all times & could not have been more apologetic, courteous and professional. I sent an email about my concerns at 9:30pm & got a response at 10:30pm. He was on site to liaise with students and I felt reassured that the staff at College actually care about us, even if the Board of Directors don't.
