UCL or UT Austin? Undergraduate Mathematics

I've applied as a math major looking to get my MBA after undergrad, and I was accepted to both of these schools.

At UCL its only 3 years and I only study math and don't have to take a bunch of bullshit.

At UT I can take more non-math classes that are practically useful. I live close to UT too.

I'm not sure which is better for job opportunity/MBA applications (if 1 is better than the other).

The overall cost is about the same when comparing 3 years UCL to 4 years UT, but housing seems to get bad in London compared to Austin.

Both seems like pretty fun schools too.
