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 would definitely be way better, but idk about UCL
Oxbridge
LSE / Imperial (not the business school)
UCL
——— (other unis, eg. Edinburgh)
St. Andrews
If we look at imperial finance, it is definitely not on par with LSE though. Math/science ok
Post grad level imperial is much better than st andrews, UCL MFin is very new so harder to say.
Undergrad either would be better than St Andrews
Imperial is famous for STEM. There engineering / comp sci grads are far more attractive for employers.
