Sort:Latest reviewsI love walking and travelling around the city! Everything about LSE, the course and lecturers, the facilities the support services, the accommodation is great! The union and the clubs and societies could be improved. However overall I have a lot of fun and freedom to do things that I like!
The accommodation is really great, wonderful humor in halls very funny.The clubs and societies are all really good. The nightlife is the best part of my uni experience. The uni facilities are great and the best bit is they record all the lectures which are pretty good and sometimes interesting. There's a multitude of support services and overall should be very easy to get a job as it's LSE! Only drawback the students union is pretty annoying.
The subject content on my course is first class, there's wonderful support with both general life and future job prospects. City life is great, a personal favorite is the Sainsburys meal deal (not tesco). Hockey society is great! Overall great fun and interesting. The Uni facilities are good however some of the buildings are old and there aren't many computers.
My course is really fantastic, the accommodation is expensive however it's London so to be expected. Really enjoy the cricket club and there's a wide variety of societies to take part in. The students union is great however slightly too PC. Great prospects for jobs considering I do a history degree. The uni facilities are a bit cramped and the sports stuff isn't great.
The lecturers are fantastic, really love the student accommodation and lifestyle. Clubbing in London makes for a great city life experience. The Students Union is great and the support services internship apps are well worth it. Really enjoy taking part in the clubs and societies. Only negative, the gym could do with a re-vamp.
Really interesting modules on my course, great cheap accommodation with meals provided. Love roaming about the city. Wonderful peer support, counselling and financial. Really enjoy banking society and christian union. The Uni needs more microwaves and I'm not very aware of the Student Unions activities but overall LSE is great!
Inspiring environment with very smart/engaging people. But, expect to work hard! Great accommodation, great people and all in the greatest city in the world. Fantastic experience.
A vibrant, enjoyable life coupled with an incredible sense of accomplishment and an ambitious student population that constantly pushes you to do more. Teaching is tough and lectures are challenging, but you know that it will all be worth it.
Studying at LSE has been the greatest experience ever. Located in centre London, the school is offering so many opportunities for students to reach both working experience and entertaining activities. LSE has a high reputation for social science, especially for Economics in which a quarter of all Nobel prize winners was produced from our school. It is a great honour to be alumni with so many world leaders from all aspects of social disciplines. You can also benefit from a vast amount of public speeches given by notable global speakers of all realms as well as career events. The Students’ Union has over 150 societies covering a wide range of activities from the serious and prestigious, to the light-hearted and fun so you would never be bored in finding extracurriculum.
Thoroughly enjoying the course, turns out the university is not full of social rejects, just bright people. Whilst people don't go out clubbing every single evening, we do meet up every evening and have a few beers.
I didnt stick it out at the LSE went there went there at first but transferred in semester 1. There was only one halls that I could have afford and i got it but they put me in a shared room I would be lying if I said this wasnt a big factor in my decision to leave. I meet one or two nice people but on the whole people conformed to the stereotypes rich, self-obsessed and career driven. But on the other hand it a very international university where you will meet interesting people. London has soming for every but if of course expensive.
From the first day you enter LSE you'll know that everyone means business - it's all about getting jobs in the City. The plus side to that is that the university has one of the best job prospects around, and the negative point is that at least half of the students are really boring.
LSE is a very unique place, it's more like an international school (High School) than what you would expect from a traditional British University. If you love campus life, then this is not the place for you. But if you are independent, self-motivated and loves the dynamic life-style in the city (as well as many many many foreign students), then this is definitely the place for you.
There's a saying 'I don't need sex because LSE fxxks me everyday!' People might have the impression that LSE produces future bankers, politicians, lawyers etc., but I find it more than just a blindly competitive place to live and study. Here people get enough freedom of choice to find their own way of balancing life and work (for instance most lectures are not compulsory of going!). The library is always a great place to wonder around, and the lovely Lincoln Inn's field, too, just opposite to the New Academic Building, if you prefer a lunch in the park. What's also so great about LSE is that it's in London, with most job opportunities and exposure to life in this country. Although living expenditure is a bit higher, but it's well worth the price - just think about all the free art, exhibitions and fun.
4.0
Really great lecturers - interesting material taught, good interaction in classes. Excellent quality and great places in terms of accommodation! In terms of city life multiculturalism is very apparent in the city. Theres always something you can do and you're never bored. The library is very good and restaurant is fantastic but they could offer a better and larger range of food. The union is good and informative. The support services are fantastic support if needed. The reputation of LSE among employers is hopeful for future jobs. Overall too much studying but all good.
