I disagree with the whole 'not your typical uni experience'.

There's more 'drones' and hard workers at LSE than other unis, but if you want a good time, you'll find one.

Simple answer is yes.

LSE is the banker breeding ground. If you don't want a uni experience and just want a job as IB then sure LSE is perfect.

I'm unsure though, is the gain in prestige from LSE worth trading off a Durham social life? Is it too close to call or will one Uni just 'give me more'?

Dude, choose wherever you want based on your experiences and the courses.

The difference isn't so massive as to warrant a significant disadvantage. They are both solid unis.

It comes down to where you would honestly prefer spending your time and how well you jell with the other students.

What would you say is better for IB between Bath for economics or Bristol for economics/economics and finance?
Also do you think it would be any more difficult to get into a front office job from either uni?

I'd go Bath and do an industrial placement.

They are on par recruiting wise but the placement edges bath a little bit.

LSE is London, where else could there possibly be a better nightlife (out of London)?

Manchester > London for nightlife. Plus you'd have to go out with people that go to LSE. What a barrel of laughs that would be.

Is Imperial better than LSE for quant/tech roles? How does it compare for FO positions?

Considering Imperial is a tech uni and LSE is a social science uni - the former would be better.

FO chances are the same.

On average theyre less nerdy than cambridge though, so i dont see where youre coming from - though yh out of the london unis LSEs probably full of too many neeks, but you go out with people in your social group..not everyone from your uni.

And naa, thats the good thing about London. I go out with my mates from different london unis together (e.g. City/UCL/Cass), so I dont see why LSE would be any different.

I dont see how Manchester is any better than London, london has the best clubs anywhere as well as other stuff

Yeah well when you're somebody that goes to LSE, that's a non factor. I'm a northerner and been to nights out in Sheffield, Notts, Leeds and Brum (Manchester soon) and they didn't compare to the nights out in London, including ones where I've been the only non-LSE person in an LSE group. The clubs are bigger and better, the girls are foreign and the people are rich, know how to live club properly. Latin Americans go crazy. The music is better, the general vibe is better. The clubs are insane, jacuzzis inside and free pills, best live acts in the country etc, and Fabric alone is excuse enough to say London has the best nightlife in the country.

Solid dead link bro.

Link works for me...
