Durham/LSE

Dear all,

This is my first post and I would appreciate some genuine advice from anyone who has relevant experience.

I’m currently deciding whether to accept my Durham or LSE offer (for undergraduate). I’m  grateful to be in this position and appreciate that they’re both great universities. I’m hoping to have a career in management consulting but also considering trying for IB/law. For me, I think Durham would be a more enjoyable experience, but if the advantages LSE would give career-wise over Durham are significant, I would be happy to take LSE and I’m sure I could enjoy it also. I’m a home student and would be applying to the London job market.

If anyone has any direct/indirect experience with the two, I would appreciate any advice - feel free to PM me. I’m not going to disclose anything else as I want to remain private.

Thank you.
