<p>I got accepted for Bsc Management at LSE and to the Faculty of Arts at McGill. I am undecided where to go I love McGill with its awesome party scene and laid back students but I am attracted to LSE's prestige but I am not a huge fan of the fact that I am concentrating on a specific field so early on. What do you guys think?</p>
<p>LSE is way ahead of McGill is terms of teaching excellence, international diversity and job prospects worldwide. However, most students there are nerds and there is a lack of social life. If you’re outgoing, perhaps LSE isn’t the best fit, although prestigious and highly-respected. Go for McGillllll</p>
<p>ahah no way is LSE’s teaching excellence shown in their undergraduate department. I have a lot of friends at LSE (going there next year for Master) who are undergraduates in the Economics, IR and Law department. The lecture are excellent and are known world wide however their teaching (i.e. seminars, office hr and time to speak to undergraduates are minimal). LSE prides in itself for their graduate departments. </p>
<p>Saying all that LSE is all about international prestige not only in Europe but in Asia and to some degree in North America.</p>
<p>LSE.</p>
<p>Hands down.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>To a much greater degree in North America, actually. It is ranked the best place to study social sciences outside of America. In the world, only Berkeley and Harvard rank higher. In addition, it enjoys great peer review (what other unis think of a uni is peer review) from its American counterparts.</p>
<p>I went to McGill undergrad, and am currently finishing an MSc Accounting & Finance at LSE. Congrats on your admit to both schools. </p>
<p>I would be careful about LSE as an undergrad, particularly if you are from north america. It’s very demanding, the material is presented in a way that is totally different from anything you will have been accustomed to, and the students coming in are much better prepared to handle it than you. If you’re looking for the party lifestyle, LSE is definitely NOT the place. It is not a place that holds your hand and expects you to have a social life- it expects you to do large amounts of self-study in a highly competitive environment. That being said, there really is no better uni in the world for management, so if you’re willing to work hard the experience will be replete with rewards. </p>
<p>McGill is a very respected uni, and you’re not making a mistake going there (particularly if you’re Canadian). It’s fun, the students are (mostly) good, and the classes are more in line with what one would experience at a north american high school (although much bigger!)</p>
<p>Good luck, and best of luck with your decision.</p>
<p>BTW- prestige of LSE in Europe >>>> in North America. Everyone oohs and ahhs over an LSE degree in Europe, whereas the majority of laypeople in North America seem not to have heard of it.</p>
