A great place to be if you enjoy the hustle and bustle of city life. Part of the charm of the LSE is its utter lack of a campus, so we are very much city denizens.Also London being a global city means world leaders often stop by the LSE for lectures or just to visit students from their country.

I wish I had known more about my particular program....perhaps I would have done another one in hindsigh, but I think in the end I did get something out of my experience at LSE.

Fairly highly, you can't be London for things to do and experience, but you have to be a very independent person. Nothing will be spoonfed to you and you'll have to take a lot of initiative!

Studying abroad will completely enrich you and give a wider perspective on so many things. You will also meet loads of people from all over that you can plan to visit around the world later :)
Travelling while a student is great because you get all sorts of discounts on admissions and you have long enough breaks to travel....when will you ever have such a chance again? (and believe you'll meet people once you're here that would only be sooooo happy to show you their home country!)

A very interesting experience. You meet people from all over Europe (and even more), but very few british people.
LSE is also a major reference in Economics, and it's and great name on your CV !!

Take care of housing as soon as you kno you're going to LSE.
In a general way, you won't have a lot of courses. So try to have them on 2 or 3 days, to be able to visit London, and travel a bit.
London ih THE hub. So, do use low cost airlines !! Clear ?

“Great programme, highly competent teachers, small classes, motivated and motivating colleagues”

Overall
Great programme, competent teachers, small classes, smart & motivated students from a variety of backgrounds, competitive but supportive environment. Only negative points: course was too dense - the topics and reading material were too vast to be covered within just one year. I would recommend doing this as a part time course - over 2 years, rather than in 1; no feedback on dissertation; course was extremely expensive - couldn't have done it without a scholarship.

Pros
small classes, smart colleagues, lots of time to discuss material with teachers individually during consultation hours.
Cons
No feedback on dissertation, course was too dense and expensive

London is a great city, and the LSE is an excellent institution. Awesome instructors/classes as well as an international student population to socialize with.
