Thank you so much qqwertyy! I really appreciate it. This is kinda what I have been feeling, but for me the difference in price will come out to about $80,000 USD. Is it worth it to go to LSE over Singapore?

Thank you all for the help! Just to clarify, I think NUS is an amazing school and is higher ranked than LSE in a lot of categories. Coming from the US, however, LSE still has that name recognition I am worried that NUS doesn't (yet!) have. But, there are also a LOT of positive sides to NUS I am considering as well and I am completely torn. It is interesting to hear about the dual-degree scholarship thought! I applied as a dual degree student from another university, so while I can't do a triple-degree and go to LSE through NUS, I emailed them asking about my program and if it will cover that! Does anyone know how the grading works at LKY SPP? I haven't been able to find anything out on that.

S$1,350

Hi! Mine does not include housing but I found some affordable housing across Singapore that would work with the budget. I think it is a small but workable stipend!

I am from the United States and got a scholarship offer! So there is some geographic diversity in the scholarships.

Thank you!!! I hope you hear back (good) news soon. I want to figure out if LSE is going to be better for a future career in international law but wow the funding from NUS makes it hard to say no.

Hey everyone! I was admitted this morning with a full ride + stipend! I didn't have an interview, and submitted two weeks before the due date. I am trying to decide now between London School of Economics and NUS! Any advice? Anyone know of international MPP rankings or what sites would be good for seeing LSE and NUS's standing in the world?

Hey everyone! Would love your thoughts on my pending decision of where to go for my Masters of Public Policy. I'm in panic mode right now. Deciding Between: Berkeley Goldman ($0): Two Year, Top 5 for MPP in the US London School of Economics ($0): One Year, more affordable than Berkeley National University of Singapore ($$): Two Year, full ride scholarship with month stipend and travel fees Decision: I am hoping to do international legal work, and I am currently finishing my J.D. from Berkeley Law. While Berkeley would be the easiest to attend, originally I was leaning towards LSE to get diversity on my resume, save money, and get international training. But then, yesterday, that offer from Singapore came out of nowhere (I genuinely thought since they hadn't gotten back to me I hadn't got in). Now I am trying to balance the costs of the schools with their names in the international community. Is it worth spending more to go LSE for its name and location? Would Singapore be as impressive on my resume for international employers like the U.N.? I know very little about Singapore and would love any advice.
