I joined the LSE this year as a Masters student and have noticed the following pros and cons:
Pros: Most Lecturers are very good, with some being outright superb and I will remember their wisdom for years to come
Pros: Great selection of modules, perhaps selection is actually too much leading to timetabling ussues
University doesn’t seem to be sacrificing teaching quality just to hire the best researchers
Pros: Can always find space in the library
Pros: Cute campus, feels safe and at home
Pros: Great programme and course representatives
Cons: Buildings, schedules, timetabling, everything is more complicated than it needs to be. Apparently LSE’s timetabling is one of the most complicated in the world and the mess shows when trying to arrange your own modules for the semester. Library is an architectural mess with long stairs that cause everyone to wait for the lifts and swamp toilets. “No food” rule in some buildings is extremely annoying
