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.

Campus was very accommodating and was able to collaborate and learn a tremendous amount.
Decent university with good facilities and location within the city. Some facilities might not be available and many things can be improved. Such as better student society representation and family feeling between students, staff and the SU.
LSE is overall well-run as the facilities are in good condition. However, one thing I find lacking on campus is the lack of usable lockers in the library and the lack of affordable food options (food+drink
Good experience while studying
Great experience throughout the year.
It is a great university with amazing career service and networking opportunities
For the money that we pay, I think the facilities can be improved - more study places, more properly functioning sockets/plugs, etc.
the course is very well structured
