As an LSE student I’ll try to be completely unbiased. It’s one of the hardest no-nonsense Russell Group unis with a vibrant culture for people interested in learning, developing and making something out of themselves. If you’re doing a quantitative course like me you’ll be displeased with the people you meet but the opposite can be said if you’re in a more qualitative course. I guess LSE attracts smart people, and many smart people aren’t the most pleasant to hang out with. Careers Staff aren’t really concerned with you because they very much believe if you’re at LSE, you know what you want and it is a thing here with the plethora of career oriented societies you’ll here about. Many people hate the mindless hustle culture at LSE. I’m all in for the grind but the sheer number people who do it with the sole aim of becoming a corporate crony will leave you baffled. I was like that in my first year and realised, that you’ve got to think on what you want to do here before coming to LSE.

Good programs and great campus.
Studying at LSE is like a dream come true. It has the best of everything, from education to social events. Even during the pandemic the department has managed to keep everyone well connected and has provided all the support needed.
A lot of the value the LSE brings has been lost due to Covid.
Learning experience is dreary and monotonous. Lectures are twice as long as they need to be. Classes are often taught by students resulting in a sub-par lesson. There are 20 weeks of teaching per academic year £9250 or £460 per week.
LSE is great. The people at LSE are unlike anything I've experienced before.
It’s excellent professors are so kind
Very helpful lecturers and tutors. Fun experience
Amazing support to students by LSE staff even during the COVID-19 pandemic
Awful. The standard of lecturing has been terrible during my two years here, overloading on reading so basically it is a self-study course, lecturers are rarely approachable, grades feel more like luck than based on skill and effort, not a good community feel, does not encourage entrepreneurship well but rather employment into banking or consulting, you cannot challenge your marks because of ‘double blind marking’ which is nonsense. Overall, I hated my time at LSE, yet paid £28,000 per year for my two-year masters and I completely regret giving this university my money for very little received in return. Avoid this school, that is all I can recommend.
A better internet service on campus and not just inside buildings would be great.
