Hey!
Congratulations on getting offers from these three universities. They are all great unis, so whatever decision you make you will be going somewhere amazing.
I guess it depends on what you want from your university experience. Sheffield is a great city, with lots of greenery and the peaks nearby it is very easy to unwind. The department has good connections with employers and great research opportunities if you choose to go into that. The Students' Union has been voted the best for many year and there is a vibrant student life with lots of societies and groups that you can join (I ended up joining more in my master's year than in my undergrad).
I wouldn't worry too much about which one you go to. Get a feel for which place you think is right for you, as they are all fantastic options.
If you have any questions about Sheffield feel free to ask!

Since I never attended the uni, my perception is based on its global reputation and international standing. Hearing direct experiences from someone who actually went to QMUL would be helpful for the OP to make their decision. At the end of the day, it's not only reputation that matters but also their experience there.

Why do you even want to study data science? What do you think you would get out from QMUL?
Do you need a degree to be a data scientist?

Answer those, then I give you the reasons.
