I assume you've visited both departments, met the staff and had a chance to talk to other students as this interaction is a big help? From what little I've been able to ascertain, there's more to the Warwick course than the LSE course.

First of all, thanks for your anwser. It was quite difficult to visit the UK because I was finishing my BSc here, in Russia, and working at the same time, visa requirement wasn't much help as well. But I communicated with Warwick staff and alumni for necessary clarification. Unfortunately, I didn't do much research on LSE course because I wasn't expecting an offer from them until the very last moment. Overall, the communication experience with Warwick was very positive.

I did some research, but Behavioral Economics in Warwick is relatively new course, so there is no much information available. The course content seems more attractive and campus life would be smth new and exciting. The only thing that makes me worry a bit is international reputation of Warwick.

Well, yeah, I've changed my mind two or three times in last three days. Still don't know what to do, I have a week for making a final decision, but I have no idea how I'm gonna do that. Both choices have their own pros and cons.
And what about finding a job in UK after graduating? I've heard that it's extremely difficult for a non-EU citizen, but still would be there a big difference if I tried?

Well, after a ton of thoughts I am inclined to choose Warwick. I like the content of the course more, and I also think that this course offers more opportunities for a good PhD topic after doing my masters.
So, the only question is "Am I stupid to choose Warwick over LSE?"

For example, my parents think I am because if I had to come back to my home country, the brand of LSE would look much better in my CV.

Thanks for your anwser. Yeah, I am totally responsible for my final decision, but it's always great to have some additional pieces of information to base your decision on.

Well, I've been living in the big city (>5mln ppl) for my entire life, and I also was in London once, it was really memorable experience. On the other hand, maybe it would be great to try smth different like living on campus. In fact, it's one of the aspects I am confused about. My guess is that country pace would be great for me, but I also like exploring new places and things which is easier in city like London. I'm also a bit afraid that LSE is not very social uni.

To sum up, this is a really difficult decision. I am eager to stay in the UK for PhD, so right now this is the most important factor for me.

Hello, everybody! I got an offer from Warwick in March (MSc in Behavioural and Economic Science) and was put on the waiting list in LSE (MSc Management Science (Decision Sciences)). Time passed, no anwser from LSE
I was going to apply for my Tier4 visa soon, but quite surprsingly LSE sent me a letter with a conditional offer (they require a copy of my degree certificate). Should I change my mind? I was really looking forward to studying in Warwick, but at the moment I am, to say the least, confused. LSE sounds more redoubtable, but I still don't know what to do. Any opinions would be appreciated.
