international student

Cheers Stanfordian, thanks a lot for your efforts here. :) This is by far the most helpful thread I have come across. Although I am not planning on doing anthing Econ/Engeneering related I was wondering whether you or anybody else here could help me with the following: I got admitted to several MA programs in International Relations, both in the US and UK and would like to go on for a Ph.D. afterwards (Political Science/International Relations). Could anybody by chance tell me whether LSE (London School of Economics and Political Science) has a good reputation in Stanford and the rest of the US? I was admitted and lean pretty much towards enrolling! Other alternative would be Johns Hopkins or George Washington. Would be absolutely glad for any input or maybe reference to another discussion group. Thanks !
