I have received offers from both UCL and LSE and haven't decided which one I'll be firming, but I am a little concerned about accomodation and social life at LSE. I've been told that LSE students are obssessed by their studies and that social life isn't great there. I know there are a lot of stereotypes going on about LSE but I was wondering to what extend they are true. I'm also thinking about asking for intercollegiate halls if I firm LSE, but I don't know if it's really worth it. Are people more friendly? Are the rooms good? I've noticed they're generally close to the uni, which is a good point too but I don't really know what to do! I'm a friendly and outgoing person (or so I like to think) and love to go out. I'm afraid that I'll feel kind of trapped in LSE as I'm not really into competition and I am wondering if UCL would be a better choice for me . I hope some LSE student can help! Thanks!

PS: I'm going to study anthropology if that changes anything.

It'll be what you make it, both socially and academically. Judging by the number of other people asking about the social life, there are plenty of people going to LSE who want a decent social life, so i wouldn't worry.

There will be more than enough social opportunities at LSE (and UCL). As the poster above me says, your uni experience will be what you make of it. Finding a few like-minded people will not be difficult when you are surrounded by thousands of students, with clubs / societies, classes and accommodation as social environments.
