Hello oiaw12345, 1). I met my boyfriend when I started grad school when he was already a student. We both had a lot to do. For me it was very stressful because it was my first year and I wasn't really sure if I'll manage everything. For my boyfriend it was also difficult since he was second year so they were getting more work to do etc. However, we both felt like the time we spend together is the only time when we can relax and forget about all other things. Actually, it was our relationship that helped us finish our degrees. We both craved for the moment when we'll watch a movie together or have dinner together. However, I know some friends who can't actually deal with a lot of stress and see their relationship as another "task", another "responsibility" which they need to take care of. I even remember I read somewhere, I believe in girlsaskguys.com, that women usually think that they have to invest a lot of time in their relationship, usually in activities like to get ready for a date, to put makeup on and look pretty, to prepare dinner, to clean the apartment... However, when you study and know that your boyfriend only wants to be close to you, talk to you and tell you about his day, then it doesn't matter if you have makeup on or not. What I would recommend is, try to find time for each other because I am sure you'll both feel better after 30min you've spent together. You can have lunch together if you are both on the same campus, if you have mutual friends, go out together with them. You can go for a walk together on Saturday or Sunday and this is an activity that you both would enjoy and would find healthy. Go shopping together. This way you'll get work done but also spend time together. What I am trying to say is, if there is a will, there is always a way. 2) I can agree with the others that it looks like you might have doomed your relationship only because of your mindset. My advice would be to share your fears with your partner, maybe he is also having some fears which he is not sharing. Who knows, you might end up finding a great solution to those fears and saving your relationship!

I wouldn't say that you necessarily need to stay in the UK and work there if you graduate from LSE. I think, once you have a diploma from a prestigious university, you can basically work anywhere you like, especially if your studies are not that much related to law where you need to know the laws and regulations of the country where you want to work in. LSE is a really good university but you need to decide whether it is worth the money you'll need to spend on it. As far as I am aware, UK does not grant scholarships which really makes it more expensive to study in the UK.

Did you receive an answer already ? I think contacting them via phone might be more efficient way to explain the situation and to fix it. Let us know what happens.
