UCL vs Imperial vs LSE

IC and LSE are definitely more prestigous that UCL in the subjects they offer.

So this is not a ignorant post or something.
I would just like to listen to your opion:
Purely based on the general "prestige factor", which one receives the most "wow"s ?

Is KCL still mentioned in the same breath as those in the poll?

Its a tier below. There is a gap between those 3 and KCL in nearly every ranking and has been like that for many years so yes there is a difference, although not too significant.

LSE for Economics, Finance and Political studies, Imperial for Medicine, Engineering and most Science disciplines and UCL for Medicine and all the subjects the other two can't provide.

Otherwise I would say all three are on par with each other in terms of international prestige which is measure on a lot more factors than silly rankings.

Well if you want to study Dentistry and Nursing then yeah I'd go for kcl and Medicine too it ain't bad either.

Of course, although student satisfaction at KCL for medicine is a bit low. KCL is good at some subjects but overall as a university its just not perceived the same, although i like the name King's College London over University College London.

That's because I get the impression people perceive kings as rather big well biggest med school in Europe right? And rather bureaucratic, you feel like a small fish in a big pond.

I always thought LSE had the lead in international prestige?

I think it is true to some extent. I wouldn't say its the biggest med school in Europe. Charles in Prague is huge they have like thousands of students. Students in the surveys complain about the quality and i'm sure it has something to do with the class size to teacher ratio.

Well no in every major ranking LSE is outranked by the other two who often appear in the top 10. If it were also measure on a prestigious factor like say number of Nobel laureates produced, affiliated etc then the latter two by far outrank LSE in that sense. And if you are an Engineer or Medic then LSE doesn't even figure into the equation so it would be a completely pointless comparison to make in that sense I.e. Saying you have more respect for the economist from LSE than the medic from UCL given you can't study Medicine at LSE.

The world rankings give LSE a disadvantage so I wouldn't use them to gauge international reputation. LSE is also the alma mater of numerous political figures worldwide and CEOs, though.
I don't really know what point you're trying to make with the last sentence.

The point in trying to make is of that someone was interested in a Medicine and excelling in their field then naturally they would opt for Imperial over LSE given LSE doesn't have a medical school. You cannot therefore turn around and say that persons degree is worth less than an LSE degree as there's no way you can make that comparison between two institutions with such specialist interests.

Furthermore in academic reputation rankings the above two also outrank LSE. The three tend to be regarded on the same level. From a british political aspect Oxbridge is the place if choice.
