Why LSE is great

(5)·By Sameera A·Accounting· Jun 2023
So far my university experience has been great. After worrying that I wouldn't be able to fit in as I commute, I have made great friendships. The quality of teaching is amazing and each teacher cares about their class and keeps everyone engaged. The workload does tend to overflow at times and the exams are difficult but this is to be expected.

LSE is a rollercoaster

(5)·By Aryan P·Accounting· Jun 2023
The LSE experience is like a rollercoaster ride - thrilling, challenging, and occasionally terrifying, but ultimately worth every moment

Cherry on the cake bachelors!

(5)·By Neela L·Economics· Jun 2023
My experience studying at the LSE was absolutely incredible! I can't recommend this university and my course enough! I had the privilege of earning a BSc in Economic History from 2019-2022, and let me tell you, the skills and knowledge I gained during those three years are truly invaluable. From transcribing information from sources dating back to the early 19th century to developing both academic and soft skills, I feel like I've grown immensely as a person. Despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, I still believe that my time at LSE was the best three years of my life. The workload was definitely intense, but it was always manageable thanks to the incredibly supportive community of LSE students. Trust me, if you're considering studying at the LSE, you won't regret it!

My LSE experience

(5)·By Anshika Y·Economics· Jun 2023
Wonderful environment to meet like-minded people. Very intense but also able to prioritise me-time. Good funding and love the buildings. Overall, probably one of the best decisions I made in my entire life is to come to LSE.

Economics, Year 3

(5)·By Tanushka A·Economics· Jul 2021
It was a lot of fun there were a lot of events. Events were in uni halls and within departments . Some departments host more events than others though. First year I stayed in uni accommodation it was a lot of fun. Considering I was in the middle of london the rooms were huge and I made a lot of friends. The location was great I stayed right next to the Tate Modern museum The LSE library is incredible. It's a wonderful place to study even if you have to be there the whole day. The student Union building looks a little weird but they have some amazing societies. All the staff is very nice. I had some brilliant professors. The content was challenging but they made it easy to understand. I got to attend lectures given by some very influential people. London is the best city to stay in as a student. Night life is amazing. Shopping is amazing as well.

Aerospace Engineering, Graduate

(5)·By Mike M·Aerospace Engineering· Jul 2021
Freshers week was nerve wracking - Having to meet new people was a scary experience, yet enriching. I feel getting over that first hurdle at University sets you up to run the race. My accommodation at LSE was great. The rooms are modern and you can instantly tell they have been decorated with quality. The facilities at LSE are top of the range. Frequently replaced and refurbished to keep them at a top level. The course touched on topics that other universities did not have on their curriculum. This meant we learnt more and broadened our knowledge of aerospace City life was exciting and lively. London is always busy and therefore there is always something to do. I love the city life.

Sociology, Year 3

(5)·By Elise C·Sociology· Jul 2021
Really fun, made most of my friends during freshers week. Halls played more of a role in this than my degree subject though. Halls are very sociable. Quite expensive though, but in central london so makes sense. Student Union and library are amazing building. Sadly no on campus sport facilities, have to travel out of London for university sport facilities. Lecturers and professors all at the top of their field so very inspiring. The course content is varied and interesting. Living in London is the best decision I ever made, I've been here nearly 3 years now and I'm never leaving. There's never a dull moment in the city, always something going on! Plus you have the tube which is a big win.

Law, Year 1

(5)·By Bethany S·Law· Mar 2019
Great! LSE provided lots of both in and out of department welcome activities and the department had a clear plan for us to be introduced into the area of law.. I stay at Bankside House. It is more expensive than accommodation outside of London, but that was expected. My room is massive and I love the halls.. All very modern and clean. All I could want.. . . It is academically demanding, as expected at an institution like LSE. Nonetheless, it is very enjoyable and thought-provoking and I look forward to 2nd year, where I will be able to choose some modules, as opposed to this year.
