Need some advice guys, Firm Warwick or LSE ?

Keep in mind that warwick isn't a very quiet studious uni either - depending on where you stay in your first year, it can get quite noisy and hard to concentrate in your room if that's where you want to work. But you definitely won't be distracted by city life

(if you choose warwick, feel free to PM me with any more questions)

I'm struggling to make the same decision, but Warwick for maths and LSE for Actuarial Science...just can't decide! Half the people say LSE is unenjoyable but the other half say uni is what you make of it...price is also an issue for LSE but Warwick won't be cheap either. Just cant decide

argh you feel my pain

warwick is still miles cheaper than the lse, but i feel like i shouldn't even factor in cost, i should judge it on the course, and so the lse course will serve me better for job prospects

Going to LSE over Warwick isn't really going to increase your job prospects unless you want to be a banker or work in top tier consultancy, and even then I doubt it..

i don't mean in terms of prestige, i meant doing international relations and history from the lse is a more recognised and noteworthy course over history and politics from warwick, lse is the school for social sciences after all

ah ok.. Well I have an identical dilemma but for Law. History and Politics is still a top degree, but I see your point. I'm not sure how that will even really matter. Employers won't hold international relations from LSE on some godly pedestal.

you got me wrong again, i didn't proclaim it to be on godly pedestal, just that it has the edge over the warwick course as social sciences is what they specialise in and in that sense it's more respected

so where do you think you will go for law?

I apologise Well it seems like you prefer LSE in everywhere really.

Will decide after the April 3rd visit..

i haven't visited warwick yet, have you and how did you find it?, but yeah i'll be there on april 3rd too, kinda nervous, and i only prefer the lse course warwick gets every other thumbs up

i'm sure we'll make the right choices

It's strange..I'm sure you'll know Warwick is a campus university, it's basically like a small enclosed student town, so you may love or hate that really. I really liked it, I prefer it to just being spread around London and being a londoner makes me hesistant to do my degree here. I'm sure you'll be fine make sure you visit both before deciding!

OK so I made this thread exactly a year ago...and I wanted to post that in the end I chose LSE. I 100% have no regrets - LSE is the most amazing place to be and I'm loving every second of it. The workload is insane - and the uni expects a lot of even 1st years. But its so worth it. The social life is awesome, I've been having such an incredible time. If anyone else is faced with a similar dilemma about lse vs warwick, I have to say choose LSE!! you won't regret it. I certainly dont!! Work hard, party harder

There's a similar thread where someone was deciding between LSE and Warwick for politicsv and has a poll (if that interests you)...

Her main worry was that she'd have a better time at Warwick and currently lives in London but wasn't too sure as LSE's slightly more prestigious.

In the end she choose LSE and this is what she said...
