Second Undergrad

IMO yes. Why can't you finish your degree and then do a masters at LSE or a similarly ranked uni? If a masters is in your plan anyways, then the undergrad university you attended doesn't really matter when applying for jobs. The only exception I think would be if the subject you want to take at LSE is completely different from your current undergrad. Otherwise, it's a waste of three years.

Yeah I guess you’re right! For some reason I’m just being really existential about it and wondering if 3 years would really be that much in the grand scheme of things... Like, I’d really want the experience and I really take uni more from the perspective of learning and getting experiences for their own sake, not as a tool to get something else. Idk.

In that case, and if it's not a financial issue, I guess it's up to you! I just don't think that it will help job prospects at all (and may actually hurt them). Are you unhappy with your current university? Because LSE does have pretty low student satisfaction rates and is often considered one of the worst for 'uni experience'.

Yeah, if I happened to get good funding I personally would probably go for it, but the job prospect/general perception of me due to that decision is what I’m wondering about. And I’m not unhappy, it’s a very respected uni in my home country and produces a lot of influential people, I’m just looking to move abroad and hopefully be internationally competitive. It might also just be partly due to Covid that I’m feeling unsatisfied and wishing to ’start over’ haha. I’ll have to think about this thoroughly!
