又是一年入学季，有小同学找到我，说：“姐姐，我在伦敦政经的招生指南上看到了你。”这让我的思绪一下飞回到本科最后一年。
2013年冬天，因为几门课成绩不错，而且又来自中国大陆，教授就让我写一写在学校读书的感受。那时候不知道是写给本科招生指南的，就很真实地写了几段心中的想法。
比起带有保护意味的“母校”，我心里的伦敦政治经济学院（LSE）更像一位敦促人“向外走”的师父，也是伦敦的缩影。四年一瞬，收到offer那个清晨、初到伦敦那个夜晚，都还历历在目。
在这里，把指南上的肺腑之言发出来，希望出国留学的新生们，都找到属于自己的精彩新生活。
对未来的职业规划
我希望在金融监管方向找到一份工作，这个领域是全球政治与金融的交汇处。我在伦敦政经就读的国际关系，帮助我了解国家、区域和国际层面，国家与非国家角色带来的治理。
"I would like to pursue a career in financial regulation, where global politics and finance converge. My LSE degree in International Relations helps me understand governance at the national, regional and international levels by state and non-state actors."
学校的学科设置
伦敦政经国际知名的教育品牌，源于它的学科强度和认知自由。在本科阶段就提供完整、成体系的国际关系项目的大学少之又少，它是其中之一，且深度、广度俱全。学生能够接触到相关领域，比如历史、政治学和社会学。课程有效结合理论和实践，并允许学生在最后一年专攻更细分的领域。讲座形式的大课，由真正的专家授课；小课则是背景多元、视角多样的学生群体之间，进行激烈讨论。精心设计的课程提纲、优质的阅读清单、由LSE IDEAS等著名内部智库组织的相关活动，让学习体验十分圆满。
"LSE is an internationally recognised brand, which is built on academic rigor and intellectual freedom. LSE is also one of the few universities that offer a comprehensive and structured International Relations programme at undergraduate level. The programme provides both breadth and depth of knowledge. It exposes students to related fields like history, political science and sociology, analyses a nice mix of theories and current practices, and allows for specialisation in many sub-fields in the final year. The lectures are taught by true experts in the field. The classes prompt heated discussion among students of diverse backgrounds – and therefore diverse perspectives. The well-designed syllabus, excellent reading lists, and supplementary events organised by famous in-house think tanks like LSE IDEAS also help make the learningexperience fulfilling."
学校与大都市
伦敦政经是伦敦的缩影，反映了这座城市包容四海、充满活力的本质。伦敦政经追求卓越的名声、促进友善竞争的文化、广泛的校友网络，为学生拥抱伦敦无穷尽的机遇，提供了不可比拟的优势。学校在学生的人生初期，就播撒下职业精神与社会责任感的种子。它不仅把学生与世界的现实联系起来，更赋予他们能力，让他们的提问掷地有声、行动必有回响。
"LSE is a microcosm of London, reflecting its cosmopolitan and vibrant nature. LSE’s excellence-seeking reputation, friendly competitive culture and wide alumni network provide an unparalleled advantage for students to embrace the wealth of opportunities in London. The School cultivates an early sense of professionalism and social responsibility. It not only connects students to the realities of the world, but also empowers them to ask the right questions and make positive changes."
三年来，学业研究、课外活动、职业经验之间，有健康的平衡。学习之外，我在校园里体验了有趣的活动，它们由成功的学生社团自发组织，比如Grimshaw Club（注：国际关系学生的团体，组织模联、各种国家的学习之旅等）、中国发展社团和金融社团。在学校得到的各种能力，也帮我得到有意义的工作经验，包括BBC、汇丰银行等世界知名的机构。
"LSE has provided me with a healthy balance of academic, extra-curricular and professional experiences through the three years. Apart from studying, I fill my time on campus by attending interesting events hosted by very successful student organisations like the Grimshaw Club, China Development Society and Finance Society. I also used competencies acquired at the School to gain meaningful work experiences in world-renowned organisations like the BBC and HSBC."
