    LSE vs. Sciences Po
    I have an offer in International Economic Policy from Sciences Po's PSIA and one from LSE in International Political Economy (Research). I cannot make a decision as to which one to go to for the life of me. Please help?

    Isn't there a double MSc degree available in which you can study at BOTH universities? If you didn't apply for this double MSc, go for LSE.

    London and Paris are a lot alike, for all the wrong reasons; the same criminality rates, the same ridiculously high rent. The only two reasons why you would go to Sciences PO is if you like French people (but I don't know any non-French person who does) and if you're afraid that the Euro will devalue in the coming months by such a large amount that you won't be able to pay for your study. The latter is something which I am afraid of tbh
