Can anyone tell me what kind of rep the LSE has in this field (International Relations, post grad)?

Hi Mia, I didn't see this until today.  I have to admit I have been trying to make sense of this field report all day and my brain is a bit fried.  What is LSE?

thank you, I couldn't think yesterday.  Quite a few of the higher ups at the UN have degrees from the LSE and I think it has a good reputation.  To be quite honest a non-American educational institution is probably looked at more highly at the UN.  I have found that being an American (not that you have to worry about this), you get a whole lot of assumptions made about you and anything you can do schooling, etc to prove that wrong helps (but this might just be a UN thing).

Really?! That's so bad if it's true! God, the whole UN-US thing is so ugly and at such a low ebb right now. It's depressing. It's depressing to see all the public sniping going back and forth etc. And call me partisan but I mostly blame Bush and his admin.


Anyway, thanks for the word on the LSE. I don't know if I want to work at the UN, because if I get a degree like that I might want to cash in on private consulting etc. for the first few years but you never know, I might go all altruistic and change my mind. Heh. In many ways I think working at the UN would be incredibly frustrating for me. I like things to happen *now* and at times the UN seems so mired in bureaucracy/tradition/this-is-the-way-we-do-it-ness. You work for UNICEF, no? Do you find it frustrating at all?


If you don't want to talk about this in public feel free to pm me, mckencke...and thanks for answering me again!
