Lahore University of Management Sciences - LUMS
speciality: Politics

The decision to study at LUMS has deeply shaped who I am today. The thing I enjoyed the most during my time at LUMS was how every course encouraged us to question things we had previously been taught in school. A lot of our previous understandings were shattered and we were taught to draw our own conclusion by analysing research data properly.
LUMS gave me the freedom to think of out of the box and become my own person rather than being told how to think. We questioned everything both inside and outside the classroom. I believe it is one of the few universities in a country like Pakistan that truly give you that freedom. I would also like to highlight the freedom the campus allowed me as a woman. It is a the few places in Lahore I could walk around at 3am without looking over my shoulder or being paranoid in any way at all. If you plan to study within Pakistan, I can without doubt say that there in no better option.

The LUMS experience allows its students to explore the many flavours if Pakistan given the extreme diversity that permeates its student body. This diversity makes the culture extremely rich. It can also promote a rich and vibrant academic environment where students can engage in constructive discussions and learn from each other’s experiences.

Additionally, diversity can help break down stereotypes and biases, promoting a more inclusive community where students feel valued and supported.

Whether you love it or hate it, LUMS is as good as it gets in Pakistan. The studies may be extremely strenuous but the social life helps to balance it. with such a diverse student body, the best part about LUMS is that it is accepting of everyone and teaches you how to interact with and develop social skills

My university frequently organized career fairs and networking events, inviting employers, industry professionals, and alumni to engage with students. These events served as a platform to interact with potential employers, gain industry insights, and expand my professional network.

LUMS has a very vibrant and diverse atmosphere, which makes it feel just like home. Lums is known for its strong alumni network which helps in finding opportunities for research and employment all over the world. The university has very strong standards for academic integrity and provides very good facilities.

This was a great experience. The campus is always full of life. Most of the professors are amazing. The dorms aren’t air conditioned though so it gets hot sometimes in the summers. Hot water was not always available in the winters. But the university experience was great over all
