<p>Ive heard of a student at chicago who did half of his third year at LSE and didn’t find it as impressive at Chicago… plus, I think that from the Liberal Arts standpoint, most American institutions will have the edge… when it comes to international prestige, both are very comparable, but if you look at rankings of faculty, research output etc… Chicago has the edge as well. I’d say Chicago, but I will be the first to acknowledge that this isn’t the right choice for everyone</p>
