Is LSE worth it for internationals?
Recently got my offer from LSE for undegrad, but have been hearing really bad things about London recruiting for international students and wanted to know if LSE is worth the financial investment (don't have any problem in looking for roles in Dubai/HK/SG). Even saw people suggesting Tulane in US over LSE. I also have an offer from Bocconi but again it would financially impair me to take up a top masters program and all that is left is vying for a top target in my home country. Should I pass up on LSE? I really don't know anymore. pls help
Uk firms(including b4s with 28k salary) take UK national socmob candidates from university of kent over lse/imp/ucl intl candidates in a heartbeat lol. Unlike US u cant rlly network to land an interview and european language proficiency is a must for non-uk candidates.
what about other locations like dubai/HK/SG? Is it the same there?
Dubai impossible as they prioritize UAE nationals
SG impossible as they prioritize SG nationals
HK viable if you speak native level mandarin
Msc Phone Snatching has great placements.
I don't know why this is getting MS, this is unironically and sadly true regarding the socmob preference
The majority of my peers who went to LSE either couldn't break into IB/finance or left the uK after their degree. They went back to their home countries (and had pretty good careers afterwards) or did another degree in Canada or the US.
money grab
60k pounds for UK? add a bit some more and go to a MiF in at Vanderbilt. Almost same cost, but 100% role in UK because US degrees > worth x3/x5 the UK ones when recruiting
This is correct, the tuition fees are now so high for the UK, you could study almost in any other country.
With the ever rising cost of living, crime, lack of quality (and affordable) housing, .. London is only for the people who really want to be there. Either due to their job/industry or because they truly love the British culture.
I personally like living in the UK, but I also had the opportunity to leave after a while. There was never a plan to live there permanently and it was years before everything got worse.
was it a masters or a bachelors?
