What University should I pick for an exchange program if I want to get into IB?

I'm in my second year at a target University in my home country Spain. I have the chance to go abroad on my third year, and I got a place in both Wharton and LSE. As a European, I'm looking forward to start my career in IB in London, that's why I was thinking is more pragmatic to choose LSE as I will be able to meet professionals and students in that city (I already have like-minded friends there as well). But on the other hand, the experience of being in the US, and in a university like Wharton, also appeals to me. Both universities are great for networking and to prepare for IB, so what would you recommend? Thanks
