LSE vs. JHU

<p>So got into both JHU and the London School of Economics (conditional offer) and I really cannot decide between the two.</p>

<p>I'm an American and I've been living in England for the past 5 years so I was really looking forward to going back to the States for college as I'm getting kinda sick of it here (I already live in London, too).</p>

<p>My parents really want me to go to LSE but then again I'm not the kind to really follow instructions from my parents. I just think that there might be better graduate school/job opportunities for an LSE graduate over that from JHU, though I may be mistaken.</p>

<p>Any opinions? Considering also other aspects of the schools (social life, etc).</p>

<p>You should probably visit those schools and decide based on what you like. But you may not have the time as you have to withdraw all the rest and accept only one by May 1 if you want to choose JHU. Good luck either way.</p>

<p>LSE is the better choice.</p>

<p>JHU has vastly more financial resources relative to LSE. This will afford you much more research opportunities. JHU’s reputation internationally (due primarily to its nobel winning research and esteemed international relations school) also dwarfs that of LSE’s. it really is Oxbridge and everything else. Choose wisely.</p>

<p>^Seriously?</p>

<p>JHU’s international reputation comes nothing near LSE’s.</p>
