LSE provides a fantastic learning environment for dedicated students that wish to excel academically. The Sociology department in particular provides great support for students and the course covers a breadth of topics and gives you the opportunity to go more in depth in subjects of your particular interest as you progress.
Being a student from a low economic background makes it difficult as a student in the LSE as London is a very expensive city and the majority of students come from wealthy backgrounds. Despite this, LSE does a good job of mitigating this with the LSE bursary and Accommodation bursary.
