To the OP:

If your intention is to work in the US after graduation, Columbia would be the nicest choice here. Columbia is a top feeder school to Wall Street's vast yet competitive financial industries. However, Columbia and NY are expensive, so be prepared for the high cost of studying in Columbia and living in New York especially if you're an international student.

If you're not really bent on working in the US right after graduation, go to Warwick and study the uni's best programs: economics, business, accountancy, finance, math, MORSE and the like. Warwick is the cheaper choice here and is one of the best feeder schools for those who'd like to join in the financial industry. But it is also a target school of top bulge bracket firms. At Warwick, they conduct job fairs and almost all the major banking and financial industries participate in the fair. A number of those Warwick recruits will be destined in the US. Remember that Warwick is a prestigious uni and its graduates are competitive in the financial and banking industry. You can also study in the US for your postgrad education after a Warwick undergrad, or you can avail the Warwick's study abroad program. If you can maintain a sterling mark after 2 years at Warwick, you may even be allowed to take a year at Stanford or Harvard.

Good luck!
