UCL & Imperial much better then St Andrews?

Just accepted an offer for MSc Finance at St Andrews (+paid deposit) but am considering UCL and imperial as alternatives.

Question is, are they much better?

I know oxbridge and LSE are in a league of their own but wondering what your opinions are.

Imperial is famous for STEM. There engineering / comp sci grads are far more attractive for employers.
