What they don't tell you about LSE...

Hey guys, I'm finally back with some new content! After graduating from LSE a few weeks ago, I decided now would be a good time to spill the tea on my degree. In today's video, I try to shed some more light on some of the realities of studying at LSE, and some factors that you might not have initially considered. I hope you find the video useful, and let me your thoughts and what else you'd like to see!

what u said about teachers was 100% spot on. Just cos they are world leading, doesnt mean they are good teachers.

This video is 100% accurate, the negatives in fact were explained quite conservatively

Great feedback, thank you. Hope LSE will hear you !

I understand your frustration as I am also an LSE student in economics. However, I’ve come to realize that the departments motivation is to make sure we know every lecture that is taught not just use past paper as an indication of what’s going to be on the exam. Hence, whenever there’s an exam I study/understand/memorize all the lecture material, problem set and do some past paper to prepare myself for the exam and it usually enough. In addition, Lse exam in economics to me were never predictable so by looking at past paper I always found it very misleading haha

spot on about everything. I was an accounting student was required to take economics courses in 1st and 2nd year, and it was the worst. whilst the content was interesting, the mathematical proof as well as the difficulty imbalance between the lectures and problem sets were so huge that it was so mentally draining with not much support. sure there was office hours but they weren't very approachable or helpful.

I’m thinking of applying for a London uni, I have been curious about what is accommodation like in the second and third year? Will you be very far away from the uni buildings, will the rooms be tiny because of how expensive it is in London, etc… Thanks!

Brilliant video! May I know what percentage of the LSE lectures/classes are taught by Professors and / or by PhD students?

[m_zero]

I think what also doesnt help with the LSE community intermingling together more is that everyones scattered all over London with student accom, private accom and people that commute being not that close in proximity, whereas at other unis youre in more of a bubble and everyone stays in places closer to each other.

[arvindkulkarni]

Hi I am a 14 year old who is really inspired by you. What sorts of activities were you going at that age to make yourself more attractive to universities like LSE? Do you have any advice for teenagers?

[dac]

Congrats. What is the salary? For a analyst? Can you join as a direct associate level and what is salary for that? Also do you have any exit plans from infastructure PE?

Imperial is better. (Can’t be compared to LSE) ..

[faradaycool]

LSE students love to indirectly brag. Good start to a career in finance I guess
