<p>In terms of reputation, LSE beats UMich, UChi and NYU.. but in terms of education, only UChi is better or at least on par with LSE out of the 3. my 2 cents.</p>
<p>hmm where You from?</p>
<p>LSE for sure, for masters degrees (though expensive) it does an excellent job.</p>
<p>LSE has incredible international reputation!!!!</p>
<p>If you enjoy the big green campus life, then you might prefer Georgetown, but at LSE, even though you might not have a campus, you've got all of London! Plus it's got a great international rep...</p>
<p>Georgetown has an excellent politics program (and history). Keep in mind reputation is not everything; you will surely get much out of living in D.C., especially with the political opportunities there. However, it does have a great reputation in the U.S. as far as I know. Also a very old and well established school. Was asked to be a member of the Ivy League, but rejected.</p>
<p>Both great schools, but with extremely different campus lives. Both are feeders to the World Bank and IMF. The schools have a lot of similarities in their focus on social science. LSE has a greater reputation among the British Commonwealth Countries in Asia, South Asia, and Africa. LSE also has a bigger reputation in Europe. Georgetown is probably better known in North America. LSE will have a more international student body, but Georgetown is not terribly far behind. Lots of Georgetown students study abroad at LSE and apply to the graduate programs. The ties between the schools are fairly strong.</p>
<p>Georgetown has educated their fair share of heads of state and world leaders as well:</p>
<p>Twelve current or former heads of state are alumni. Former President of the United States Bill Clinton is a 1968 graduate of the School of Foreign Service, and others include Laura Chinchilla, current President of Costa Rica, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, former President of the Philippines, and Saad Hariri, former Prime Minister of Lebanon.[196][197][198] Six alumni serve in the United States Senate, and thirteen in the House of Representatives. Current congressional alumni include Dick Durbin, Senate majority whip, and Steny Hoyer, House minority whip.[199] Governors include Pat Quinn of Illinois, John Lynch of New Hampshire, and Luis Fortu</p>
