Sohail Bhai, chill yaar. Neither me nor you going to get any credits on which university is better. I understand your point of view and acknolwedge the fact that LSE is a newer programme (only about 10-12 years old) and hence it hasn't yet reached the expertise of City's in actuarial science programme. Also, City has more than one actuarial science programme whereas LSE only has one undergraduate level course. I think City also has a PhD programme in Act. Sc. which further shows its quality and depth of expertise in the subject.
But, if you read my post again you would understand that I was not comparing Cass with LSE on Actuarial Science programme. I was making a point on someone who's yet to decide whether actuarial science or the actuarial profession in right for him or not and if someone is in doubt then its always better to keep your option open. I think without doing into any useless debate we should acknolwedge that LSE, overall, is better placed than the other universities that I mentioned and hence I advised Shuja.
I'm just curious how big is your class size this year and are you on 3yr or 4 yr course? What is your plan for summer?
