Student review [#9778] for History and International Relations
at London School of Economics and Political Science - LSE

Overal there’s no denying that LSE is academically a great uni, will open many doors, give you the opportunity to encounter some of the most renound figures in your field of study etc etc… But, being in London, it can also be quite a lonely and unwelcoming place unless you seriously put in the effort to make it otherwise. For qualitative degrees especially there is a very low number of contact hours a week (for my course, History and IR it’s 4 hours of seminars and 4 hours of lectures a week) which doesn’t give you much of an opportunity to see or meet people unless you get involved in university in other ways – sports clubs, societies etc.. That being said, there’s a huge mixture of people at lse, and probably a scene for everyone.
