Can you help me choose between two MSc

Hi everybody, so here's the deal. I applied a month to several Unis (to study analytical chemistry). And I got offers from King's College and Aberdeen University.
Now that's where I need help; those are two great Uni, and I really don't know which one to choose because, so I thought you could help find some Pros & Cons.

Cheers
Chris
I would let comparisons of the following inform my decision:

Cost
Course content
Where I would prefer to live

I guess the King´s College one is way more expensive than the Aberdeen one, both in terms of tuition fees as well as cost of living. But having the name King´s college in your CV is also quiet tempting. If both courses are similarly good I would say it depends on your financial situation. If you have the money and you want to live in London take King´s college, otherwise take Aberdeen.
Yeah King's is like £6k more expensive than Aberdeen. But as you said Lagona, having this on the cv would be pretty massive (and well, it's London).

I would choose King's personally. It's in London and it has an international reputation.

Oh my goodness. With respect, no way would I pay an extra 6k just so I could write a particular institution on my cv. I could save myself 6k just by making sure I wrote a damn good covering letter and selling my skills well.

That extra 6k could pay for another whole masters degree or pay towards some life changing stuff. No way would I blow 6k on so called prestige, no way!

6K is a lot of money isn't it? : /

I'd probably would really think it through if I want to spend that much really.
