Does ranking matter that much?

Hey guys,
I recently got accepted into University of Edinburgh and it's a great school, definitely. But I feel like it's really not my vibe and I'd rather go for a place which is more student friendly and has an urban feel too it (Bristol/Glasgow/Manchester). BUT I don't want to regret having made that choice, of not choosing a more prestigious school, does ranking really matter?
I'd be studying Physiology (BSc).
Thanks guys xx

If you're leaving Edinburgh for an equally as prestigious UNI like King's, LSE, Imperial, Manchester then you're fine.

You get a first or 2:1 in any of those Uni's then you're fine. You can do your masters anywhere you want.


But if you move to a uni not as prestigious then nah, you're missing out.

Do you think Glasgow & Bristol are as prestigious? I know from rankings, Glasgow isn't as prestigious :/.
