    What Employers Say: Having attended LSE myself and having been to the

    Cambridge Fair, I have to say that LSE Students werefar less prepared than the Cambridge colleagues thatimmediately seemed more professional. Also, it seemedthat none of the LSE students had done research aboutthe internships for penultimate students (one of thethings we offer)

    Good event with well prepared students.

    The student helpers at the event were most helpful in

    offering assistance. The event was well organised andthe students were of a high quality.
