<p>which one is the best for Economics and environmental science/policies?
how is life in Vancouver and Montreal?
thanks</p>
<p>Hey I just got admitted to McGill..so I dont really know how life is there..
What I do know is that LSE beats both these schools easily ( I'm still waiting to hear back from LSE!)..but for me McGill seems a better option.
I'd rather go to a good school in an awesome city rather than an awesome school in an unfriendly city :)</p>
<p>LSE has best econ hands down. I'm not so sure about environmental policy at any of the schools though.</p>
<p>Inquilaab, you really need your facts straight--LSE by no means beats McGill (in economics and politics, most definitely). A statement like that which you just made is completely misinformed.</p>
<p>If you don't mind me asking, what is LSE? lol</p>
<p>London School of Economics hands down, its the hardest University to get into in the world (harder than the ivys, Oxford, cambridge)</p>
<p>My bad, what I meant to say was LSE beats McGill easily at Economics and its related courses ( business math/economic history etc)!</p>
<p>haha, ok i gotcha. Hoping that AKdigger is just sarcastic...</p>
<p>lol...LSE is much easier to get into than Oxford and the Ivies, MIT, Stanford, etc. It's especially easy to get into grad school at LSE from McGill, actually. But it's actually considered second tier these days. Like McGill, it lives on its past reputation. Both McGill and LSE were in the top 10 in the world up till the 70's. As with everything, socialist ideology destroyed both schools and both have zero funding. Even the THES ranks McGill higher than LSE and the ranking has a UK bias.</p>
<p>i take it you're conservative?</p>
<p>I imagine McGill is ranked higher partly due to the broader focus of the university beyond econ and poli sci.</p>
<p>ANYWAY</p>
<p>I love McGill; however, you should go to the LSE.</p>
<p>in agreement with sebcarwright,</p>
<p>If you want to choose the school for its program, LSE econ is way better.</p>
<p>thanks all of you :D
well lse is a great school (but mostly for post graduate studies/?)
also, the program they have offered me a place is Environmental policies with economics (not econ with environmental) so thats one reason i am thinking of studying in canada and majoring in economics and than combine it with environmental
(the other reasons are that lse does not have campuses and real student life plus some say that professors etc are snob. maybe lse is overvalued bcz its hard to get in)</p>
