Where to go for university, UCLA or LSE

Title, I've got offers from both LSE and UCLA, Mathematics and Economics at LSE and Mathematics of Computation + Economics at UCLA. My family is leaning towards UCLA, cost really isn't an issue and don't need to take out loans or anything.

I'm an Indian international student if that matters.

I saw that finance salaries in the UK were considerably smaller than in the US. Also heard consulting is pretty big at UCLA. In terms of student life, definitely leaning towards UCLA and I want to end up working in the US in finance / consulting or anything similar.

Thoughts and suggestions?
