Undergraduate: SSE Business and Economics or LSE Accounting and Finance?

Hey guys! I'm currently pretty torn between those two universities for the following reasons:

  1. SSE's program is not very mathematical: I enjoy maths and would like to deal with it in my studies - will a degree from SSE close doors for work in a HF or AM?

  2. Job chances: Are chances to land internships in London from SSE low?

  3. New York: I'd love to work on Wall Street one day and you do actually see many LSE graduates there. Is LSE the only European school to get there?

  4. Brexit: Will LSE's reputation suffer? How will the students' perspective change?

Any advice?
