In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
Very strongly, it's not a secret that the LSE is a great school and getting in is even difficult and important than getting the master, the admission is known to be hard so if you get in, come and get the degree.

Final comments
London is a great city to be in, and doing it while studing at LSE is a great mix. Don't expect a great campus becuase there isn't any, the structures are in the center which is a cool thing if you think about it, but if you want peace and calm to study, go to Cambridge. :)

The english style is very different than the american way of assesing, you have to write like mad on the exams to get a good grade, that lowers quality and encourage to memoraize like crazy.
