Loved London, not LSE Past Review
By Alix B (Political Science and Government., Tulane University) for
London School of Economics (LSE): London - General Course, Year-Long Study Abroad Programme
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
it is not that I hated LSE, I just did not feel that I was prepared for it. It did push me and I learned a lot, but had to on the fly in order to keep up. London was amazing and I would love to live there again someday.
