Choosing right degree/uni - IE or edinburgh?

Hello, I am here to ask whether I should do a bba at IE or study econ and philosophy/PPE at uni of edinburgh if I want a future related to finance. IE has amazing employment rates, as it's 17th in the world for it, but im scared the degree might be too easy and boring, also considering its reputation as a party school. On the other hand edinburgh has a stronger UK reputation for a future in London and the degree is more intellectually stimulating but maybe not as good as bba for finance. Any opinions to share?
