Students who choose LSE are intent on experiencing an active and varied degree programme. The structure of our degrees emphasises the need for self study and rigorous intellectual skills where an individual student's opinion matters.
Every student is automatically a member of the LSE Students' Union which is dedicated to the welfare and representation of more than 9,000 students. Responsible not only for representing students, it also runs an Advice and Support Service and is home to over 40 sports clubs and over 150 societies. It also runs a number of bars and cafes which serve quality food and drink at good prices, and shops which sell everything from snacks and stationery to hoodies and birthday cards. In essence it is responsible for every aspect of the social experience at LSE.
You can hear more about the experiences of students and alumni on our LSE Community pages or you can also read the LSE Student Blog.
