LSE is a very corporate, careers driven university. It is not for the faint-hearted. You have to be tough and strong-willed to survive at LSE: with challenges like social life, academic teaching and student engagement. However, I personally learned to deal with these challenges by finding people who think similarly to me. I got involved with societies, switched degrees to Anthropology and now have a chance to study abroad. All this is because I could adapt and found opportunities to keep growing at LSE. They are there for you to find at LSE – you just have to keep pushing to find them. But be warned – LSE can be a stressful, isolating uni in the middle of London. You’ve got to work hard to overcome those challenges; I did, and I feel very happy here.
