Happy to be at LSE?

I was a student at both King's and LSE. I loved both, my experiences ( intellectually and socially) were outstanding, and I have no regrets at all about the choices of institution and course that I made. Sure, some people are going to arrive at a university and find that they and the institution are not a good match, and ultimately they may decide that they need to leave. The point is that happens everywhere, and I know of no sound basis on which to claim that this happens more at LSE than at any other top university. To the person who posted that they were very unhappy there - well I am very sorry for you, but there's no reason to think that just because you had a rough time with the place anyone else will. It all comes down to personal preference and each of our individual natures.

Some other observations about this thread:

That comment about SOAS made me laugh (a guilty pleasure).

Stating "I go to Stanford, the 2nd best university in the world" is a sure way to make everyone not like you. Really. As if there is any agreed, non-contentious way to rank the world's universities and make such sweeping generalisations (and yes, I am aware of the league table compiled somewhere like China, and subsequently re-published in an article in The Times).

Posting such huge and sweeping generalisations like "some bloke told me the LSE has loads of drug-takers" (I paraphrase) is, I think, a little irresponsible. Since so many school-leavers use this site to help with difficult and important decisions about their academic careers, we really ought to be more concerned with facts and informed opinion rather than such outrageous slurs

Back to topic. People in other UOL forums are saying that the LSE Union is good and big. Don't remember which ones, one at Imperial I think.

I think I'll be able to make friends anywhere. There's always (at least) one or two people who shares some interests with you. I feel it's more on the person and less on the uni.

All this is boring.

They live with my money, I pay their parties and tabloids, and I don't like that. I want my money back!!!

Shouldn't you be promoting your Popish plot to bring about a United States of Europe? After all, isn't Britain just an insignficant island according to you?

Do you pay international fees?

I live in that island and value my life, so will not repeat your words. About my plot is not to create a USE but to convert England to Catholicism.

LSE is cool! It wasnt my first choice when I applied, but it would be in retrospect!

I will never bow my knee to the bloody throne of Rome.

And anyway the Church of England is catholic (with a small 'c', of course).

When I talked about my money was talking about the money that goes form my fees th the SU, that evil organization that should be closed forever.

Indeed. That bald ******** (Treasury Officer I believe) especially needs a right royal chaining. I managed to throw a particularly sharp paper aeroplane into his eye during one of those weekly SU meetings. But that hardly begins to justify the amount of my tuition fee the SU gobbles up in sports crap.

Ban them bloody hell!!! Who needs a SU?? Who needs a union in a school??? People who play to be small politicians WITH MY MONEY (Yes, I am shouting), I want my bloody money back!! I will spend it in posters of Ratzinger.

but...but...dont we need representation? I mean, how could we possibly study without the support of Natalie Black, or without the competency of the previous communications officer who couldn't even get a website running after several months? Surely Rishi Madlani deserves his 22K pa?
