Clubbing it LSE?

I’ve applied to LSE in unsure about social life. I’m really not a fan of clubbing and I especially don’t think I’d enjoy it in London. Are there other options for social life cos I don’t wanna spend 3 years un happy? I know LSE is 2/3 international and I’ve heard they’re not massively into clubbing, would they be interested in other forms of socialising?

LSE SU societies have a strong sense of identity whether AU, cultural or business societies. Other than that London has the most to offer in terms of “social life” in the UK and possibly Europe: classical music, popular music, plays, operas, musicals, food, bars, nightclubs, shopping, museums, art, international-ism, parks, etc. Some of it is expensive, but many places such as some museums are free or offer student discounts.

You won’t be left out if you don’t go clubbing. There is a very diverse student universe at LSE and you will find your friendship group. Clubs are only part of the social life. Have a look at the student union societies to get a feel for what type of interaction you can have with a subset of fellow students. The idea that no one at LSE goes out or has fun is one of those daft tropes that is repeated so many times that it becomes a believable stereotype…it is simply not true…. it is in the middle of a global city not some field or out of town campus. Non London uni students say it is difficult to have a uni experience in London (whatever that means). The fact is London has a bigger range of social activities than any other city in the UK whether clubbing or not. London satisfies the demand for people with lots of energy who want to be plugged into global humanity..

im also not a fan of clubbing and im currently a first year at LSE and have gotten on just fine. its definitely a big misconception that LSE has no social life, as lots of people do go clubbing multiple times a week, but lots of people also never go clubbing- theres a very large variety of students here. what someone else said is definitely true though where the most active societies are the academic ones related to networking, however the sports ones do run events too (just less frequently). I think netball, rugby, and football are probably the most active. examples of social events ive done just in my first year with peers that aren't clubbing include attending ascot, an LSE fashion show, an LSE fight night, the cinema, department balls, small low key bars, karaoke.... and the list goes on. London is so diverse and theres always so much going on depending on what you fancy.
