Students have the chance to learn in the universitys great facilities（设施）. The LSE has the worlds largest social and political sciences library, its own theater, and many other lecture theaters. These host lectures and debates for both students and the public. Some of the most important people in the world come to speak. Recent speakers have included former UN Secretary—General Kofi Annan, former US President Bill Clinton, and even controversially Colonel Gaddafi. In 2008, the LSE started “LSE Live”, a series of live online lectures. Theres still time for fun at LSE. Students can join up with the LSE student union to take part in sports, arts and drama clubs. They can also join up with other London universities. Whats more, LSE is big on China. The university has a strong link with Peking University.
