Notre Dame VS LSE General Course

<p>Hi Guys, I am an international student from China. Recently, i have been having a really hard time to deciding between Notre Dame and LSE General Course, if you guys can if me some insides about Notre Dame that would be great! </p>

<p>Basically, I am studying in a top 50 LAC and was accepted to LSE general course and decided to go, however, ND’s acceptance came two weeks ago. My major is psychology (which i love so much) and i don’t like economics. The only reason I applied for LSE general course was that i wanted to transfer to a school with good career placement and LSE seems like the cheapest option. Transferring to LSE after one year of general course isn’t so difficult. However, LSE doesn’t have any degree/major for Psychology, they only offer two very basic classes for undergraduate. Also, LSE has bad social life (it doesn’t really have a sense of community due to all the dorms are spread out through London) and a weird education system with not much work during the semester but the grade of the whole year is depended on a 3 hour long test at the end of the year. </p>

<p>On the other hand, I love ND and it has been one of my dream schools. but ND doesn’t provide any finaid for international transfer so i have to pay around 58k per year. Two years in ND will cost 40k more than two years in LSE. Moreover,someone told me that ND’s psych department isn’t doing so hot and I am not allowed to do dual degree with Mendoza B-school. Another pros is that ND is not as famous as LSE in China. </p>

<p>Since i want to get into management consulting area and work in the US, I was wondering, Dose Notre Dame worth the extra money? How is Notre Dame’s job placement in mc area? </p>

<p>Thank you all for your help!</p>

<p>There are less than 2 weeks until the orientation, please help me :(</p>

<p>$40,000 for two years is a lot of money. Notre Dame is worth a lot, but there comes a point where it is simply unreasonable to attend due to cost.</p>

<p>I suppose this is a decision you will have to make after evaluating your own financial situation.</p>

<p>The orientation is not mandatory, but I know it is close. It is pretty much personal choice:whether you think it is worth the money or not and your family financial situation.</p>
