Student review [#14536] for Geography
at London School of Economics and Political Science - LSE

From the very first week at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) it became clear to me that this world-renowned social science institute was like no other.
International to its core, I found myself taught by and learning alongside very intelligent people from across the globe. The teachers were all world-class researchers in their respective fields and I made sure to take advantage of their generous office hours. The content of each module was stimulating, well-structured and as described in the programme outline. I would strongly recommend LSE, albeit with some caveats. It is a university that is best suited for people who already have some academic and professional experience, given the fast-pace and the competitiveness that is very much present. Indeed, it is neither cosy or particularly welcoming an institute, due in part to its office-like facilities and its proximity to the bustling City of London, although this will undoubtedly by viewed as an asset for some. To conclude, I’d highly recommend LSE as a university for the quality of its teaching and for the career-enhancing contacts you make whilst there, but I’d advice any prospective candidates to visit, reach out to students and teachers and to think carefully whether it is indeed the right school for them.
