Need inspiration? Here's what others like you have asked.
“Hello there! My name is Olivia and I am a current postgraduate offer holder. I know that studying at LSE will provide me with so many rewarding opportunities, both academically and personally, but I’m unsure how to make the most of these when I graduate. Do you have any advice on what I should be doing whilst I’m studying at LSE to support my future and how I should utilise my LSE experience when applying for jobs?”
“Hi LSE alumni! I am Jack and I’m so excited to have received an offer to study at LSE. However, I’m worried about being away from home and in particular, moving to London. I live in the North East of England and I’m worried about how expensive London is! I’d love to hear how you found being away from home, making friends and living in London? Do you have any good tips for living in London on a budget? I think I’ll look for a part-time job, but I’m not sure this is possible whilst studying? Thank you!”
“Hey, thanks so much for taking the time to look at my question! I have received an offer for MSc Sociology which I am really happy about, but I live in London and I’m worried that staying at home will impact my ‘student experience’. My older sister moved away for university and she said living in halls was the best part! I love the look of the course, but I’m worried living at home will make it harder to make friends. Do you have any advice on how to make the most of being a student whilst still living at home?”

Frequently Asked Questions
Literally anything to help with your academic or professional development. There are thousands of alumni, faculty, staff and friends that can help with class projects, building and growing a startup, or figuring out career options.
Think of something you’re genuinely stuck on: a decision, a path, a role you can’t quite picture. One specific question gets a better answer than a broad one.
We will only share your question with a very small number of relevant Alumni.
Your question will not be made public. It will be seen only by matched experts and a handful of administrators.
