The LSE is definitely one of the most competitive schools that one can attend. There is a sense that your classmates and friends will go on to become future leaders, bankers, professors and politicians. More than usual, this can be quite daunting. However, there is a multiplicity of options that prevails at the LSE. One can choose to be an ambitious, outgoing student but also the calibre of study at the LSE suits those who prefer to expand their understanding of how systems work and how knowledge is produced. It can be alienating at times, but what is guaranteed is that who you are after your time at LSE will be different from the person who started.
