(Masters) UCL vs Columbia

Hello, I was very fortunate to get offers from UCL for Banking and Digital Finance MSc and Columbia for a Master of Science in Applied Analytics. Not sure where I should choose. Money isn't really a big problem and don't have a preference for the location.

Here are the websites for the programs:
Columbia: https://sps.columbia.edu/academics/masters/applie…
UCL: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-students/gradua…

I would highly appreciate if you could enlighten me with your advice, thanks.

 

Better not go to Columbia only because you wanna stay in the states.

The work visa and immigration policy simply work against you if you are not from here.

I see, but one of the reasons I applied to Columbia was that the program offers F1 OPT which I think will be helpful to secure a job in the US after graduation.
