Which one would be better for getting into banking or trading? Provided that I've got the necessary extracurricular activities and the personality

Feel like for baking and trading, the reputation of the university is important.
Bristol is prestigious and has good reputation, but I think London universities have the edge. Im my opinion, UCL is the better one for you out of these 3. UCL then KCL then Bristol.
If you go Kings I wouldn't even bother applying, you basically have no chance the uni is rubbish.

Obviously UCL is the best but Bristol is good, Kings just lol.

This is rubbish, KCL is perfectly adequate. Couple mates there secured SWs and converted - as have my mates at Bristol and UCL, obvs more at UCL than the other two.

I would throw KCL out. In my opinion its only good for law.

Bristol and UCL are two viable options.

Is it really that bad? It's near where I live so I thought I would apply but the econ course there is new and not great but I thought the overall reputation of the uni was pretty good. The people there seem nice as well

The problem with Bristol is that I'd have to move out

I have a similar problem to you, I'd much prefer to stay in London but I might have to move out if I don't get into a good London uni

To answer you're question, UCL is better but kcl and Bristol are semi-targets so you can still get into banking from those unis

No, its alright. But it doesn't breed bankers, you feel me? Also its considered inferior compared to UCL, something I could not live with if I went there.

I think you'll find KCL has some pretty decent relationships within the industry, also, you're literally next door to the city. Your networking ops will be amazing.
