The realization that this program wasn't for me

Nothing special honestly. It's just a very ordinary institute some history but overall it lacks a lot of potential attributes that make a great place to learn and grow. It could be run better then it is.

Lse is not a university but a school

hello i am a student doing my third year at the Lahore school of economics . Lse is a university with zero student life, Pathetic administration specially the retired majors. They have got few good instructors but still i would not recommend anyone to go there.

Medical university

For me, it was a big achievement to get admission at the King Edward medical university. You really have to work hard to reach this institute and even harder to survive here. But the situation is not bad.
