<p>Internationally, general public is not a good indicator. I’m a graduate of LSE but of course know that Berkley is a great university, I came across it for the research that it does in computer science. I believe that Berkley is a multi faculty university, whereas LSE is the faculty of economics for the University of London and therefore a specialist college.</p>
<p>So a bit apples and oranges in one sense.</p>
<p>Within the commonwealth (ex British territories) which at one point in the early 1900 included quite a lot of territory I would that LSE is probably very well known in these countries due to the elites travelling to the UK to be educated.</p>
<p>If you take as a measure the number of international students (150+ countries are represented at LSE) then LSE might be better know internationally (I say might because I’m biased as a UK national and have no reference point about Berkley, except that I personally know that it is a great university).</p>
<p>I hope that helps?</p>
