For me life at LSE has 3 lives...
1. You try and do all the work, working mindlessly in the library for hours on end, from early in the morning until close, going for lectures, coffees and food inbetween. Oh and top of that, you ask stupid questions in lectures, and brown nose the teachers.
2. You do nothing but the bare minimum. Ie. attend lectures and classes, and do some of the homeworks.
3. You do the work that's going to get you a 2.1... you do the classes and lectures, you do the majority of the reading, having decided its usefulness, and then you do the majority of the set work.
I'm somewhere between 2 and 3.
