University advice (Warwick vs KCL)
Hey there, I am a student going for a bachelors in computer science, and I need to choose between these two unis. My plan is to do a masters at a better uni like cambridge / imperial in advanced comp sci / machine learning after the bachelors (I want to try get into quant)
So far, my take is that Warwick overall is more of a target relative to KCL (for finance at least), and has a better reputation in comp sci specifically. KCL is amazing location compared to the narnia Warwick is in, and hence has better networking. It being in London is also great for me.
Because my brother is currently an associate in private equity at a top bank in London, would that flip the table and perhaps mean that KCL could be much better for me because of the potential networking opportunities i can get?
Thank you for your time.

If the goal is quant I would definitely say Warwick,
Their quant pipeline would be a lot stronger due to the better academic prestige
Thanks for the feedback.
Just wondering, do the universities for both bachelors and masters matter? Or would they look at the university I did the masters at more.
Tbh with Warwick comp sic, you could get a good summer internship. Which would be before you even do the masters, so in that case both are important.
If you’re planning on only applying once university is over then the masters matters more. However, if you want to get experience whilst at university Warwick will put you ahead for quant roles.
Warning though I’m not a recruiter, but this is just information I’ve picked up from networking events etc
