It’s no point going in this Sept everything is online learning there’s no proper experience

(I'm sorry, somehow it looks my initial reply was lost but lemme try again now).
Ok, maybe 'can afford it' is a misnomer. My parents (neither are lawyers) are a bit cagey about money (and they aren't lawyers), but I get the impression that they would be able to pay for it with some sacrifices. I suspect that if I go, they won't have any savings left.. which leads me to my misgivings of taking their money.
On reapplying: I can! And I plan to do it! That's also why I'm presently leaning towards
NUS. Cause, in that sense, I would only be taking up the offer for a year for 'pre law training' before going to oxbridge. But of course, getting into oxbridge in 2021 is not a guarantee, and if I choose to do so (take
NUS instead of
LSE in 2020),
LSE will probably blacklist me as a no-show in sept. But then again, taking
LSE as 'pre law training' would also mean I would blow aprox 25k of my parent's hard earned money on top of the oxbridge int fees (should i get it)... Or are you suggesting I take a gap year? Although after serving
NS for 2yrs I'm not sure if I would let my brain atrophy further...
On the online semester:
NUS is apparently gonna go online for sem1, but
LSE says that tutorials will still be F2F... so I guess that's a point for
LSE?
Anyways, thank you for taking the time!
