Study Abroad LSE vs KCL and Sciences PO vs Paris and Geneva
Basically finished my undergrad in three years, but for recruiting I was class of '24 (Have an EB/BB offer already), so I decided to have fun and study abroad my last year and I decided to go to my favorite forum and ask the europeans here or others who studied abroad in Europe for advice.
I have a couple options
LSE is a full year study abroad, or I could do a Semester at KCl, and a semester in Paris, Sciences PO (I speak french) Was also thinking about semester in Paris+ semester in Geneva. Really open to any european country (also considered Maastritch and Aarhus), but I thinking speaking the language carries.
So would you guys recommend a year at LSE, or the Paris + KCL or Paris+ Geneva option. The classes matter to me although I don't need them, but to be honest Im prioritizing having "fun' for my last year before real life.
Thanks!
LSE is academically demanding so if you are to go there I would be careful with what courses to pick, otherwise you might not enjoy your year abroad as much. Semester at KCL + Paris sounds great, as you will get to live for a while in two of the top european cities so IMHO i would pick between those two (if i were you i would take the chance to live in both paris and london)
I would never take Geneva if your other options are London and Paris, too boring...
Would also consider Amsterdam, Madrid or Milan if you have the chance as they are probably amongst the best cities to live in as a 21yo
LSE is a great school but you already have a FT offer (congrats on that!), so I would avoid it as it's quite demanding. Definitely KCL + ScPo - I am currently living in Paris and I highly recommend to everyone to at least live once in this beautiful city.
Not to look down on Switzerland but Geneva is SO BORING, so don't even think about it!
