Meet your future classmates before arriving in London.

Congratulations on receiving an offer to study at LSE!

This event is designed to help welcome you into LSE's vibrant international community. You'll have the chance to learn more about what to expect at LSE as well as connect with other offer holders from the local area.

Join us for LSE Connect, an exclusive event for offer holders and their families. This is your opportunity to meet other students from your region, speak directly with LSE staff, and get answers to your questions about preparing for life in London. Whether you’re already planning to join us or still deciding, this event will help you feel more confident about your next steps.

Students who attend LSE Connect events often tell us they arrive in London feeling more prepared and connected. At this event, you will:

  • Meet other LSE offer holders
  • Ask questions about preparing to move to London
  • Learn what to expect during your first weeks at LSE
  • Speak directly with LSE staff and alumni in an informal setting
  • Start building your LSE network before you arrive

The event will begin with a brief presentation, followed by a question-and-answer session and the opportunity to speak with LSE staff on an individual basis. Stay after the session to meet other offer holders and chat informally with LSE staff over refreshments. This will be a great chance to meet your future classmates before you step foot on LSE campus!

Spaces are limited and advance booking is required. Reserve your place in the 'how can I attend' section.

We look forward to seeing you in Washington DC as you take another step in your journey to become #partofLSE.

If you are an offer holder and have questions about this event, please get in touch.
