BB PWM Internship or LSE Study Abroad?

I'm trying to decide between an offer as a PWM intern at UBS or to spend a summer abroad trip at LSE (studying economics). I want to get into IB, and I know that showing interest is helpful, but which would be "better"? This is for freshman year, by the way.

If you haven't interned anywhere yet, take the PWM gig. Study Abroad is definitely a unique experience, but as a current Sophomore, I struggled finding an internship because a lot of employers were looking for students with previous corporate experience. Having UBS on your resume as a freshman will definitely serve you better in the long run, rather than a Summer study abroad program.
