It has been very interesting so far. I am part of the Economics society. The careers centre here is very good.
We have a field trip to New York - and learn a lot of transferable skills. The accommodation is affordable for London. I'm part of Visual Arts, substainable Futures and Woman Leaders of Tomorrow societies.
There are a variety of courses to pick from. The student halls are fantastic. We need more study space.
If, knowing what I know now about the LSE, I could pay double and go somewhere else, I would do it before I could say investment banking. Please just don't go to LSE. Go elsewhere, some place you can (most certainly) still get a job, but where you will have a good time.
Quality of teaching could be better, as well as overall attention to the students needs. However, the fact some lecturers are really the world leaders in their field somewhat compensates.
A university designed only to get its students into money earning city jobs. Devoid of soul and community. The departments and faculties are mismanaged, to the detriment of the students. A very insular university, with a high opinion of itself but with little practical skills to offer.
A truly great university to be at with some truly great people. I feel constantly challenged and have learnt a lot. We learn about some of the latest research, which is very intellectually stimulating.
Best UK for Economic-related.
LSE has great courses, great people and great culture, I love studying here. Plus London is full of fun things to do. The philosophy course especially is great.
Love the customization of the course in the ability to tailor it to your own interests, very interesting subject matter. The accommodation is in an excellent location on the south bank however the rising rent isn't so nice. The city life is amazing so great to explore and discover London so much to do and see. The newer uni facilities are great but the older faculties need sprucing up. The clubs and societies are fantastic, I chair the Finnish society and am involved in music. The students union try but aren't great. I've heard the support services are good, personally used them. Job prospects look good if you can figure out what you want to do especially if you want to be in finance. Overall the course is great, and so is London. LSE is what you make it. It can be a lot of fun - if you try.
The course is captivating. The accommodation is as good as it could possibly get cheap wise in London. City wise love drinking and networking. The uni faciltiies are solid love the gym but a basketball court should be implemented. The clubs and societies are great too especially the wine tasting and italian. The students union is FUN! Support services are STRONG. I'm hoping its going to be easy to get a job. Overall LSE is AMAZING.
The course and lecturers are very broad and gives you the chance to do outside options and is very comprehensive in each subject area and the famous lecturers are great. The accommodation is great really social, fantastic area , a little pricey but to be expected in London, good community feel - campus feeling in the city. The city has amazing nightlife - going somewhere different every night. The university facilities are really good especially for sport, which I wasn't expecting. Sports are great here, whether you're good or not, I've started playing rugby and really love it. The students union is super active and really listens to the student voice. LSE is one of best unis for post graduation jobs so I'm happy. There's lots of career support I really love living in London and would definitely recommend it.
I find my course very interesting - content can be quite theoretical though, lectures are structured really well too. Accommodation wise the social life is amazing but other than that the halls need to be improved severely. The fact that the tate modern is literally a 20 minute walk away makes city life awesome. The staff at uni facilities are pretty cool but the food is super over priced. The clubs and societies are great fun i'm a member of many. The students union put on some pretty great events. The support services are great, the careers advice especially are on point, leading on from that the job prospects coming out of uni are looking very promising with the events held at LSE, best for accounting and finance.
The course has elements of interdisciplinary which I enjoy. The accommodation is poor quality and very expensive. However this is countered by the amazing city which I love to explore. The uni facilities are great but there needs to be more computers. I've joined lots of societies which are really good but haven't attended much for them. The student union is good if you're an athlete or loud and confident.
The course is really intense! Love the accommodation, it's very cheap my flatmates are great fun and very friendly. City life allows for lots of socializing in pubs with my friends. Love the modern uni facilities and they're constantly developing. The clubs and societies are great from what i've seen being part of all the finance related ones. Big fan of the very active students union. Support services are first class, with a highly efficient careers service, really enjoy taking part in the networking events. Overall I've really enjoyed making new friends and have learnt a significant amount.
Class numbers are compromised by the higher volume of class hours. The accommodation is far out and expensive. Love London, the food and all the sites to see. The uni facilities are great in terms of IT but otherwise you do have to travel off campus to attend. Love Dance club! Students union allows many platforms for feedback which is excellent. Careers service is really on the ball. Job prospects are harder in competitive industries. Overall i'd say LSE is, individualistic, career focused and full of social activities both night and day.
We have incredible lecturers who are renowned in their fields for their publications. The students union is wonderful really helpful and fun events are organised. Support is great especially with committees at halls. Accommodation is in central London so bound to be extortionately priced but the uni has tried handle that. City life is great when we get a chance to see it. London has everything. Uni facilities - has mostly everything. Clubs and societies are great i'm a part of drama and netball. Job prospect wise I hope not too difficult, it is more about the grades you obtain and unfortunately LSE are strict with high standards (sometimes overly). Overall It is very independent and if you like that it's a good experience.
Very challenging course and lecturers. Pretty neutral in terms of students union - don't know much about it. Likewise for support services, they do exist. The accommodation is very expensive some locations are great and close and some aren't, luck of the draw. City life is brilliant exploring London and all the things to do. The facilities at uni are good but they do get very crowded, such as library and gym. There's a huge range of clubs and societies. Job prospects are very easy due to the ranking of LSE. All in all LSE is challenging and great fun!

My accommodation is great. London is awesome but expensive. I'm part of the Korean society. LSE give us a good idea on how to brand ourselves.
